What Our Customers Say

A HUGE thank you to the entire Van and a Man team, from booking our moving date and time, through to amazing communication from both the office and the boys on the day.  Abe and Rhys were awesome and so organised.  They worked hard (we have some very heavy furniture), efficiently and were smiling and happy, nothing was a bother, even when we said can you take 1 more box?! – several times!

You have an amazing business with awesome staff, keep up the communication and great work.

Lynda and Ray

The service provided by staff was excellent, and would recommend to anyone needing a removal company.

Cliff

Jonny and Shane were fantastic!  My husband and I shifted from Timaru to a nearby town.  It was amazing to have all our furniture moved in one load versus the five it would have taken if we were to move ourselves.  Jonny and Shane were perfectly on time, considerate, friendly, and took great care of our belongings.  The entire process went incredibly smoothly.  I appreciate their hard work, they truly went above and beyond.  Thank you so much, we highly recommend Van and A Man!

Mandi

Thanks for the awesome work by both the office and moving teams.  Love your work!!

Mark

Man and a Van provided an awesome house moving service. Two guys came with a truck each and worked super hard, were very careful with our furniture and considerate of our needs. We can’t rate them and their service highly enough.

Melonie & Phil Sheppard

Excellent communication before, throughout and after the job. The young guys were friendly, professional, mindful of taking extra care with our property, went out of their way to accommodate our needs and far exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend Van and a Man.

Amanda Rowe

The team were fantastic.  Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the weather is bad on the day I am meant to move?

We can be flexible with changing the day of your scheduled move depending on our availability, but we will do whatever it takes to get the job done. We are happy to work in the rain.

Do I need to empty/remove the drawers from my dresser/duchess?

No, you don’t! If it is too heavy our crew will remove the drawers, move the frame & replace the drawers.

Can you disassemble & reassemble my beds and cots?

Yes, we sure can! Please let us know prior to the move so we can ensure our crew have all the right tools with them for when they arrive onsite. 

Do you travel NZ wide and how often?

We do full houses moves to anywhere in NZ and often have space coming back from these destinations for other smaller items. 

How do backloads work?

When we are returning from a destination, we can give a different rate if we are already in the location from which you require something moved – this is what we call a backload.

What is the insurance policy? Is my stuff covered?

We have carriers’ risk liability only. We recommend you organise transit insurance with your own insurance provider however Van and a Man can arrange this for you in-house at an extra cost.

My driveway is tight & narrow, and you won’t be able to fit a truck up it, what can you do instead?

Van and a Man have a wide variety of different sized vehicles so we can arrange to send the best vehicle to fit the location. However, if it is a huge worry, we can send someone out to do a site visit prior to moving day. 

Do you provide all necessary boxes & packing materials?

We sell a range of boxes and packaging, but this does need to be asked about/arranged prior to the move. 

How can I help to make the move as smooth as possible?

We recommend labeling items, having a plan, having boxes packed, and being organised & ready for when our crew arrive on-site so they can pack the vehicle and head to the next destination! 

What do I have to do on moving day?

We understand moving is very stressful, but we have very experienced and talented staff who will take the ‘load’ off you. They will ask for clear instructions and like you to be ready to go. 

I want to store some of my items as part of my move, how can I do this?

Through our Van and a Man storage yard – we offer a range of different sizes & prices to suit any need, subject to availability. 

When do I have to pay for my removal?

We will process your invoice 1-2 days after the move has been completed and ask for payment within 7 days
