Conroy Removals Reviews 

We moved from the USA back to NZ. Conroys and the US team were professional and made the move seamless. Conroys were even able to deliver early over the Christmas break. Thanks.

Great job!
Conroy was super communicative through this whole process, and Lynn and her team did a great job. I would recommend 100 percent!
Thank you!!!

Good service, efficient.

Pickup and delivery was done by the most amazing and accommodating people. Darryn H, Antoine, Ben R and Seth.
They were early on both occasions and made the shift seem less stressful than it was. We have used Conroy's for all our moves and have never been disappointed

Great communication
They wrapped and took such great care of our furniture and boxes
All packed in truck to perfection
The 2 men so careful and friendly
Totally 💯 recommend

Very easy contact for initial set up of removal of furniture. helpfull staff over times and payment of contracts....Excellent packers all the care taken was
exceptional and all goods arrived at destination with no breakages and in great order. To everyone concerned a very big Thank You. Would definitely use again..

Good comms on the whole move from pick up to storage to delivery. Nothing was damaged or lost, which was great as I declined the expensive insurance package. Movers were friendly & capable.

The team bent over backwards to accommodate our needs which weren't simple. They delivered as soon as we needed the goods, and handled the complex and physically demanding two-site delivery with efficiency a a very positive attitude. Well done Conroy!

Collected on time. Little miscommunication between branches of storage to delivery; however, at the end everything sort out and all good.

Abin Abraham from Auckland office made my relocation experience from Auckland to Melbourne seamless. He supported at every step. He went above and beyond to make move easy. He is professional and efficient.

i would never move without hiring these guys. so helpful, great experience

Fantastic service and communication from start to finish. Furniture handlers hard working and very friendly. Not one single thing broken or damaged. Well done.

Good communication, Happy with the service.

I've used them twice and both times very reliable. Great communication and ease of organisation. I liked that they wrapped everything in blankets to stop damage.

Excellent communication with updated emails on the transit of my cargo. Excellent communication with delivery drivers and they are so friendly and helpful taking care of handling your cargo
Definitely recommend Conroy to everyone! We moved Perth to Napier. Pick up and drop off was door to door and exactly how they said they would deliver! Perfectly satisfactory service all round

Great in Aussie...hopeless on arrival in NZ
I moved from Aussie to Marlborough. The Australian side of things was perfect. A great pre-packing team, packer and uplift team, so 5 stars....then I arrived in NZ and the service fell apart!

Once the container was ready to be delivered, I advised a manager at Conroy's Nelson about road closures, but the drivers were sent too late so sat at a roadblock for 90mins and when the 2 guys arrived, they were not happy and kept saying they had an hour to unload. I told them the road was re-opening so they were OK. That fell on deaf ears.

The driver raced up the driveway before even having a look at how he'd navigate a turn halfway up. His "spotter" stood there and did and said nothing as the truck hit garden edging.

He said he was going to reverse up, I said no way, you'll spin your wheels. He ignored me and gunned it in reverse, sliding into the draining ditch and putting ruts in the gravel and breaking 2 taillights. He turned around and drove up, parked it from the house and said they'd carry it.

I just wanted it all in the garage of living room, and with all boxes labelled either tools or other like kitchen/art etc.

As the driver passed me with a box that was framed prints, I said "all those can go in the house" I got nothing, and he put it in the garage! After the 3rd time telling him, I gave up.
The other lad put 2 mattresses in the living room when I clearly said in the bedroom obviously.

The driver tried to lift a very heavy and full 5 drawer toolchest, prob 60kg, to which I said that defo needs a dolly....he ignored me and dropped it, then got the dolly! Not a word of sorry.

I was helping them during my lunch break as at this point, I wanted these 2 off my property. Once done, the lad handed me forms to sign and without a word, got in the truck and drove off.

I unpacked the toolbox and it was dented at both ends, making the drop down ledges unusable.

I emailed a manager about this on the same day. I got no reply so called the head office to lodge a complaint. Someone called me back. He was very apologetic, and said it pained him to hear that at the very last step, things had gone wrong as they work so hard in a very competitive market to win business. I thought it was a very fair and honest conversation, but it ended up just being hot air and empty words.

On the 24th Nov, he sent the below, wiping his hands and asking me to make my own insurance claim as they had met their obligations under their conditions of carriage.

Dear Adam
We would like to acknowledge that you have the need to make a claim for loss/damage sustained to your goods. Please let us take this opportunity to offer our sincere apologies for this and any resulting inconvenience.
On checking our records, we note that you instructed us not to arrange insurance cover on your behalf. Your removal was carried out as per our Conditions of Contract for Removal and Storage under which we are not liable for any loss or damage.
If you arranged insurance cover with another insurer, we recommend you contact them immediately to lodge a claim.

I replied with the below on the same day. No reply has been sent and it's considered a close case.

Hi Raymond,
I haven’t asked for a formal claim to be made formally, but complained about the overall service on the delivery day, that clouded an otherwise good experience.
Seeing as the damage was due to total negligence, surely this is covered directly by Conroys. The fact the staff member thought he could carry an 60-80kg metal toolbox on his shoulder up a steep driveway is beyond belief. I am convinced he was on drugs and he just didn’t listen to anything I was saying and was all fidgeting and over energetic.
Thanks, Adam

At the end of the day, Conroy's took zero accountability for the actions of a clearly untrained, or perhaps uncaring staff member and I'm left to deal with my own repairs and claims.

I'd strongly not recommend Conroy's Nelson team to anyone, and probably not Conroy's NZ as management showed they just don't care and are all talk.

The team were awesome - from quote through to delivery of our things. They arrived on time. They were also best priced of the three quotes we obtained. But some boxes were marked very fragile and we instructed the team that they need to be put on top as they can easily break. Upon delivery the boxes marked fragile was on the bottom and 2 were damage that luckily be saved and we also lost to cabinets as heavy stuff was loaded on them. But the rest went smoothly

I used Conroy Removals for my move from Halcombe to Dunedin because of a positive previous experience. I can honestly say I have mixed feelings after this move. Luke, who did the quote was punctual and professional. The van arrived on time and the loading went well. The movers took time to protect fragile items and furniture. I was informed that a container of herbicide could not be transported because it would hazardous,. It would have been helpful to know that in advance because and alternative plan could have been made. Some items were left behind because I was told there was no more space in the container. I did not want to make it the new owner's problem so I called the office the next day. They said the items would be picked up but I have had no further communication. It took a week for the furniture to arrive, but I had been warned about that. Offloading was efficient. I noticed some of the boxes were damaged but so far the contents are intact. Only 2 items of furniture we unwrapped and the wrapping material was left on site. When the truck moved off, I noticed a few items had been left on the road.

Excellent service in all areas from pick up in Auckland to storage in Napier. This included retrieving a few boxes and then final delivery 5 months later. Office staff and delivery crew all excellent.
Excellent pricing also.
