Thanks to Tala, Ethan and Pat for their patience and diligence moving our stuff almost 200kms. I almost didn't contact World Moving because they advertised with Hosking so I thought they would be very expensive. They were the best quote we had but the service wasn't lesser because of that. The guys did a very hard job and were courteous and pleasant throughout. Thank you

We wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic job your team did with our recent move to Puhoi. Joe, Ethan and PJ were absolutely outstanding—hardworking, polite, courteous, and always maintaining their calm, even during the more challenging moments!Their professionalism and positive attitude made the entire process so much easier for us. We couldn't have asked for a better team to help with such an important event.Please pass along our genuine thanks to everyone involved.RegardsAnnu and Jeremy Brown

World Movers made our move stress free.My husband was very impressed. It was a joy to have them around and they worked well together. They were a skillfull, efficient operation who gave us confidence that they were taking good care of our possessions. We would definitely use them again.

The exceptional service started with Wendy. We had several phone discussions working through the logistics of Mum's move. As I'm not located in the same city as Mum this wasn't a simple exercise but Wendy guided me through it.On moving day, we'd packed all Mum's possessions and Paia and PJ turned up on time with a positive attitude and ready for action. As we didn't know what time we'd be able to take possession of Mum's new place, they loaded the truck pronto just in case it was early settlement. When we got access, they got everything unloaded in good time, with great care.The team had total respect for Mum, her possessions and her emotions as she moved out of the place she'd called home for 62 years.This move had the potential to be very stressful but on the day it all went smoothly and I could focus on guiding Mum through this emotional time for her.Thanks team - Mum and I truly appreciate you...

World Moving and Storage packed up our house and moved some items into storage and some to our beach house., Nine months later they moved all our furniture and household items to our new apartment. Not a single item was broken or damaged and they were incredibly efficient. More importantly they were great to deal with, nothing was a problem, they were extremely helpful making the move stress free. This company knows what great customer service looks like.Marian and Brian Blake

It's uncommon to encounter someone as sincere and straightforward as Mr. Marshall at World Moving and Storage. When I requested a quote for an international move, he promptly provided detailed information. Although his company's solutions didn't precisely align with our requirements, we had to opt for a competitor. Nevertheless, if their services had met our needs, I would have selected World Moving and Storage due to Mr. Marshall's transparency, prompt responses, and willingness to assist. I will definitely reconsider his services in the future if the need arises.

First time I have ever used this company after being referred and I would definitely use them again in a heartbeat! The 3 men team were professional didn’t muck around and highly respectful of all of my possessions regardless of value.I used them for a mix of packing and relocating.They even played decent sounds for us to listen to and growled if I tried to lift a finger.If you are moving I highly recommend this company.From the first call you make to the very end they are very good with customer service.They also take the boxes away after giving you a month to unpack.

Could not have asked for a more professional team to move all of our worldly possessions from the North Island to the South Island. The team on the day were just so warm, friendly, helpful and it was great to hear a team laughing and genuinely enjoying working together. You know you are in safe hands.

World Moving did a great job in safely delivering our house hold items to our new place of residence In Christchurch.Your Staff where pleasant to deal with, nothing was to much trouble for them.The guys did a great job of unloading the container and helping with all the heavy gear.We will certainly use your company again when we move again.Again thank you for your help in our move to the South Island.

Thank you so much for the team for making our move as stress free as possible.The guys were fantastic, super efficient, funny and in good spirits through the whole process. They arrived on time and packed up in our little unit in an hour and a half, pretty impressive :)We ended up choosing World Moving as after talking to several companies and World Moving genuinely sounded caring. Not at any time did I feel that my thousand questions were annoying and everyone was super helpful from the moment of taking the enquiry till sending the invoice through.We most definitely will use your services again. Your guys ROCK

The WM&S crew were great! Tony, Tama and Joe really impressed with their manner, efficiency and willingness to go the extra mile. We had a fairly big move (think 40ft container) which was completed in one day - Grey Lynn to Point Wells! Thanks guys - if we move again we'll definately be in touch!Chris and Helen

02:04 04 Dec 20

Absolutely fantastic. The three 'T's (the three removal men) were amazing. I was worried about a huge heavy cupboard and they were awesome - got it out of the old place and into the new one. They worked for over 11 hours and were super professional. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have used World Moving. Again we were very satisfied with their professionalism, competitiveness, and efficiency. Their movers were always on time , courteous and very olbliging. We have no hesitation is recommending them!

Linda Jackson

03:08 12 Nov 20

The crew were brilliant, worked so hard to get my move done swiftly.. I was so impressed and have told all my clients this today. I heard Mike Hosking recommending them and couldn't agree more! Thank you!

22:07 28 Oct 20

Amazing team- punctual, professional and polite. Very efficient move even though access was tough. Would happily hire again.

Jane Matthews

07:40 12 Oct 20

I can't recommend this company enough. Every staff member we dealt with over several different moves was caring and professional. If you care about your personal belongings then use professionals who also care. We did not have one loss or breakage and the team stayed to make sure we were all set up. 5 stars for making a stressful time much easier.

June Swasbrook

19:54 11 Oct 20

Please pass on my thanks and gratitude to Tala and the teams he had both times. Always polite, friendly, efficient and non-complaining.I hope I don't have to go through this again too soon but having the guys tackle the bulk of the careful packing and preparing for storage, the lifting - unfortunately, not the cleaning ;P - took the huge weight of stress off my shoulders. And a great work ethic, working until the job was done.I know who I will contact and recommend if the need arises!WORLD MOVING & STORAGE!!

Rebecca Godfrey

19:57 29 Sep 20

I was very impressed with Andrew & crew. They made the move seem effortless, with the care they took. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Many thanks, I shall be recommending World Moving if anyone needs a good moving company.

02:41 17 Sep 20

What a fantastic company. Right from the first meeting you have all been amazing to deal with. But a big, huge thank you to the team who moved us they were awesome. I have already recommended World Moving to other people and will continue to highly recommend you in the future. If we move again I will definitely be contacting you.

Sam Bejjani

Our experience has been great, from the initial enquiry and quote process, through to the truck arriving exactly on time and the three guys being very professional and helpful. Would happily recommend and use again.

Scott Kennedy

03:21 23 Aug 20

After having less than satisfactory experiences in the past with cowboys who hire out a couple of muppets and a truck, we decided to pay a bit more and get professionals. And that's what we got. Tala and his packing and moving team were professional, friendly, intelligent, efficient and responsive to our requirements. Communication was excellent. Moving day went smoothly, and the team put our boxes in sensible places which made unpacking easier. They even set up our beds for us. We would not bother with other moving companies for our next move. They might not be the cheapest, but after a number of moves we've discovered that you get what you pay for. Thanks Raymond and the team!

Sue Buglass

03:52 20 Aug 20

They arrived on time, were kind and helpful. They packed and unpack with efficiency and even heated soup etc for me while they worked. Highly recommend them.

Michele Wallace

23:28 19 Aug 20

Moving house after 34 years and also in a COVID Level 3 lockdown was pretty stressful. World Moving and Storage were great and helped make the whole process so much easier. The moving team on the day were really professional and considerate and did a fantastic job of moving everything out of our old home and into our new home. Thanks World Moving and Storage for the wonderful job.

Beverly Di Mercurio

22:33 05 Aug 20

Great team! Went over and beyond for my move.They treated all my belongings with care and delivered in a timely manner.Also friendly service :)Would highly recommend.

02:20 29 Jul 20

My family moved house on 25 July 2020. We have used World Moving & Storage previously so we went back to them again and they did another exceptional job for us. The two men who moved us Joe & Tauma were efficient, pleasant and took utmost care with our items. Highly recommend!

Stuart Jenner

07:19 23 Jul 20

Did a great job for us moving stuff from our home to a nearby storage facility. On time, efficient and no fuss. Would definitely recommend this crew. Thanks.

Andrew and his team did such a great job on my recent move - arrived on time and were so efficient and helpful. Highly recommended!

07:43 12 Jul 20

I can't thank Raymond, Wendy, Javon and Tala enough for taking care of my shift. I was moving from a house where I'd lived for 22 years into an apartment and they helped with the packing, the unpacking and - when I realised that there simply wasn't enough room for all my stuff and was panic stricken and unable to make decisions because of the chaos I was living amongst - Raymond came to the rescue. He rang to check how the move had gone and when I started babbling to him about the 28 boxes I simply had no space for, he arranged for Javon and Tala to come back and collect them. World Moving and Storage will store them until I buy my own place. I couldn't be more grateful. Just a note: Raymond advertises on the radio station I work at but this isn't sponsored. I paid for the service and it was extremely reasonable for the incredible service I received.

Jenny Spencer

07:43 23 May 20

Great communication in the booking process. Positive attitude from the moving crew despite a few challenges, including negotiating our very steep driveway! Thanks guys. Would definitely use again.

Lisa Bryan

00:19 21 May 20

Couldn't recommend World Moving more, everything was seamless from booking (post-pockdown when everything was very busy), to the operations co-ordination and the team on the day who made the whole process incredibly easy. Seems like a great team who work together and are really friendly.

Lucrece G-Bracks

00:46 19 May 20

World moving relocated half my house from Uk to NZ. The guys did most of the packing: no stress !! and my belongings arrived in NZ fast & in perfect condition. Definitely will use them again for any future moves . Thanks World Moving.

Rosemarie Dunning

05:06 18 May 20

Nathan and the team were very willing and applied sound logic to there approach to the move into our house. It helped that Nathan had packed our things 3 months previously, to go into storage. World moving have good systems for packing. Particularly appreciated the Priority box containing all important items, e.g. bed fixings. Will definitely recommend World Moving.

Tommy Honey

21:23 14 May 20

Raymond and his team moved us in the lockdown three days after we ent down to Alert Level 3. There were many complications with the timing due to the uncertainty of when real estate transactions could be settled and we need a lot of flexibility. Raymond stayed in touch with us right through this period and was hugely helpful. We then had issues with the (ridiculous) demands of the purchaser of our house, which put is in a difficult and high-pressure situation. Raymond came up with a great solution for us (when it wasn't really his problem) and took all the stress of us. On the day his team were fantastic: courteous, careful and efficient. We can't recommend World Moving highly enough; they are the best!

Tim Lofts

00:29 11 May 20

We recently moved house during Level 3 lockdown and the team at World Moving couldn't have been better throughout the whole experience.They quoted the job remotely using an app, agreed a moving date in advance (even though, at that time, we were still at Level 4) and on the day the team of David, Tayne and Te couldn't have been better. Not a single item damaged or broken and willing to 'go the extra mile' throughout.Highly recommended!

Caroline Percy

01:11 04 Feb 20

These guys are amazing! Super efficient & friendly. Plus the cost is very competitive. If you ever need to move anything big or small this is the company to go with. They look after their staff & have a great company policy. I cant fault them. Well done World movers!

23:54 14 Jan 20

Friendly, professional, and very organised! Highly recommend World Moving & Storage for your next house move, they will totally sort everything out from packing/unpacking, to moving and storage - a one stop shop! This company absolutely took the stress out of what is usually a horrendous experience.

We recently used World Moving and Storage to ship our personal belongings (21 large boxes including bikes) from New Zealand to France. Couldn't be happier with the service and having moved across the globe three times before, we're experts with moving companies! World Moving and Storage were by far the most reasonable, delivered exactly on time and were friendly, patient and helpful throughout the process. Would definitely use again and would highly recommend.

Top service and highly recommended! We have used World Moving for local and international moves on a number of occasions and every time we have been very impressed. Their staff are friendly, courteous and careful with everything that they move and pack. It's been a breeze every time and always reassuring to know that we are in safe hands.

Elle Coberger

We were very pleased with the service World Moving gave us. The people came on time both days, were pleasant, polite and efficient, especially given the size of our job. They worked hard and took good care of our belongings. We would be very happy to have them again when we move back.

Peter Thomas

22:08 22 Jul 15

Thanks to Raymond and his great team for their comprehensive and adaptable service. The team worked so hard and went the extra mile to help us have a smooth move.

I will never move again without using the full services of World Moving and Storage! We were very impressed with your services. All staff from our first point of contact by phone, site assessment, quote, packing, removal, storage, delivery and collection - were professional, efficient and very friendly. You should be very proud of your company and staff.

I found the team at World Movers to be very efficient and professional in all matters related to our move. During the moving they had to battle the wet weather while getting our furniture to and from their truck. Having the whole thing done in a single day was a mammoth task; but they did this in their stride with ease and competency.A friendly team. A great result.

We used World Moving in March for our move from Auckland to Melbourne. Their service is just outstanding. They took care of everything. Many thanks to Chris Kerr and the crew. The company's agent in Melbourne (OSS World Wide Movers) is great as well. Highly recommend World Moving to anyone.

Kara Dorset

07:21 15 Jul 13

We chose to use World Moving & Storage after seeing an article about them on Campbell Live. The company came across as caring, responsible and trustworthy. These impressions were completely backed up by all of the staff we met when we used them to move. The job was completed in half the time we thought it would take. The guys even suggested I sit down with a cup of tea. We will be using this company for another move before the end of the year.

09:21 27 May 13

We really want to thank World Moving for your outstanding effort. You arranged the delivery at incredibly short notice and kept us really well informed throughout. On the day we had amazing, punctual service, making our move really easy. The guys even dealt with my mobile phone not working without an issue! We will absolutely use you for our next move!

Antoinette Bisset

00:44 23 Apr 13

We used World Moving for our most recent house move. We found them wonderful to deal with. They were efficient and capable.
