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.
