About these articles
These notes come from doing removals every week around Christchurch and North Canterbury. They describe general practice rather than any particular job, and they are written to be useful even if you end up moving with someone else. When you do need a mover, every job at Moonies Movers is arranged by calling Mike, with a free no-obligation quote or hourly rates — no hours are published, and there is no booking form.
Ring Mike and get a free quote
Tell the team what is moving, where it is going, and when you would like it done. The quote is free and there is no obligation — or ask for hourly rates if that suits the job better.
