Now these moving companies in Wellington are dotted all over the city, and many of their websites proclaim they are the best movers. Then, how do you know which one you should ‘get a quote’ from?

Quick answer is their experience, FAIM accreditation, packing materials, and more importantly if they’re trustworthy or not. Also, you have to do some digging and ask people who used their service before.

We’ll help you with that part as we go on.

The staff were friendly and had a great can-do, fun attitude at a really stressful time. Would highly recommend.”

Now for a unique change of pace — ever heard of a movers in Wellington specialising in moving pianos, in addition to furniture (as in made it their specialty?) If not then, that company is Amoova.

To safely move a piano, they have to have skill and a cart to tie it onto and tow. It is not all power and brute force but skill and that includes bringing it down over flights of stairs with 180° turns.

Next they also pack and move household goods, breakable items, water dispensers, you name it. Storing them all inside a truck without these items getting damaged is their asset.

If you want no dust, drips, or rain to settle on your stuff while it’s being moved, Amoova’s got it. They even have covers for all your items big and small to protect it on the move to the destination.

They have been servicing the whole Wellington region since 2010, putting the customer first all the time.

Highlights

  • Specialises in moving pianos and furniture
  • Professional, mindful and adept movers
  • Have a decade of experience

Steven Guan is all thumbs up on Facebook. He said:

Moving with Trust Movers was so easy

“Moving with Trust Movers was so easy – great communication during the quoting stage, a reminder/confirmation message before the day, and prompt communication and service on the day. They even arrived a few minutes early! The movers were friendly and efficient, nothing was a problem, and they took good care of the furniture and boxes. They checked items before they loaded them, and made sure I was aware of any pre-existing damage before they put things on the truck – great attention to detail. I’ll definitely use Trust Movers again.” – Daria Williamson

Jolly natured staff

“We moved yesterday and booked trust  movers for their service. We are very happy with their punctuality. Ravi and Dylan arrived on time and also they confirmed the arrival time via phone call which was so convenient. Both Ravi and Dylan are very jolly natured.
