Why choose Mainmovers
Start with the reviews. Mainmovers has a 5.0 rating from 184 Google reviews, and every one of them is public, so you can read what real customers said before you book.
We’re also easy to get hold of. We’re open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday 8 am–9 pm and Sunday 9 am–7 pm, and once you accept your quote, we confirm your booking within 24 hours. You’ll know quickly whether your date is locked in.
We’re a local business with a real address at 12B Kiltie Street, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8041.
We take on the jobs other movers often turn down. That includes single items like a TradeMe couch or a trampoline, pianos, and freight, so you don’t need a full house move to book us.
We also help people who need a bit more support. We provide written WINZ quotes for Work and Income, and we run senior moves at a pace that suits older customers and their families.
And we make moving day shorter for you. Because we do packing, unpacking, storage and the move-out clean ourselves, you’re not ringing around three different companies to get one move done.

Common moving problems and how we solve them
Most moves go wrong in the same few places. Here’s what we see most often, and what we do about it.
“My move-out and move-in dates don’t match.”
It happens a lot, especially when a sale settles before the new place is ready. We offer storage, so your things have somewhere to go in the gap. Tell us both dates when you ask for a quote.
“I’ve run out of time to pack.”
Packing always takes longer than people expect. Book our packing service for the whole house or just the hard rooms, and we’ll unpack at the other end if you want.
“I can’t take a day off work.”
You don’t have to. We work until 9 pm Monday to Saturday and 9 am–7 pm on Sundays, so evening and weekend moves are an option.
“I don’t know if my booking is actually locked in.”
Nobody wants to be chasing a mover the week before. Once you accept your quote, we confirm your booking within 24 hours.
“I’ve got one heavy or awkward thing.”
Pianos, trampolines and TradeMe buys don’t need a full house move. We quote these as single-item jobs. Just tell us about stairs and access.
“I still have to clean the old place.”
Add a move-out clean to your booking and we’ll take care of it after the truck is loaded.
“I’m worried about the final bill.”
The more we know up front, the closer your quote will be. Tell us about stairs, long driveways, heavy items and anything that needs taking apart. If you need a quote for Work and Income, we’ll write one up.

Your Satisfaction, Our Pride
Posted on Google AlīTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good work from the guys, thorough, hard working, and friendly. Cheers bros 🤙Posted on Google Wu Yuchen (Tim)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Indi and his colleague were incredibly professional, punctual, reliable and hardworking. They came fully equipped with everything needed for the move, including dollies, trolleys, tie-down straps, and plenty of moving blankets, all neatly folded and organised. Even this small detail showed how careful, tidy and well-prepared Indi is. They also had a large truck with a tail lift. They helped us move from a four-bedroom house to another two-storey, four-bedroom house, and amazingly managed to complete the whole move in just one trip. Throughout the entire process, Indi showed great care, responsibility and professionalism. He communicated clearly, had a very efficient way of working, and was also flexible and quick to adapt whenever something unexpected came up. We were very impressed with both Indi and his colleague and really appreciated how much easier they made our move. I would highly recommend Indi to anyone looking for a reliable and professional mover.Posted on Google Jess GemmellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved back in February (sorry its late!) And the team were so awesome! Fast and efficient with everything they took great care of our stuff! They made a stressful process so easy! Thanks again guys 👌🏼Posted on Google c robTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good service !! Quick reply.highly recommended.booked on same day while another movers didn't show up. And didn't charge any extra or overcharges. Great team 💪Posted on Google Kalvin RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff great price great servicePosted on Google ParminderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional ,organised , highly recommended.Posted on Google FionaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don’t make the mistake of reading these reviews and thinking they are for another similar sounding company called Main HAUL Movers (like I did). Main HAUL Movers were appalling and scammers, incomplete move, damaged and missing items, half a crew turned up and wanted assistance from me with lifting, poor communication and then ignoring calls completely. I want to let others know. This company though, not the same.Posted on Google Malvin KaurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good and professional. Value for money. The staff are fast and polite. They used alot of care when moving our furniture. Highly recommended and we will be using them again. Thank you guys!Posted on Google 정동민Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice and friendly service :)Posted on Google RissaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Guys were super quick and efficient made moving so much easier
