    "When it came to moving, I couldn’t think of anyone else better to help us move. Les’ team were amazing - professional, hard working and got the job done to some pretty specific time constraints. Our goods were well looked after and the boys moved our stuff with ease. You can tell they come from years of experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking to move house - they moved us from West Auckland to Wellsford and nothing was broken or damaged. If you’re looking for a team who over deliver and look after your stuff like it’s their own then these are the guys to move you!"

    "Les arrived on time but that is where the good news ends. He didnt read the information on his website questionere that he provided and then complained that he didnt being enough men. He just put our boxes on pallets and wrapped them up in glad wrap with no consideration of what was in the boxes or which way up they should be. When he arrived at our new address he just unpacked the pallets onto the drive. He put the furniture into the correct rooms with a lot of coaxing but my 70 year old parents and i unpacked the pallets into the garage so he could take them. No care was taken and the new paint was damaged. Once everything was out of the truck he demanded imediate cash payment and wouldnt leave until he received it. He wanted 3 times his original quote IMMEDIATELY. I do not know my new area but got in the car to try to find an ATM. We rang when we got stuck in peak hour traffic and he swore and yelled at my young daughter when she passed on the message. eventually he aggred that we could drip the money at his house later that evening. i was terrified to go so took my dad with. He was very threatening and we were genuinely scared."

    "Lez and the team moved our house lot from a storage unit in Avondale to Manly, Whangaparoa. This is the second time that we have used them and they were great. No damage, professional and a great team. Kept us informed from when they picked up the furniture till the time they arrived. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing furniture moved. On time, on cost.

    "Really horrible experience, nothing escaped damage all my wooden furniture scratched. Some items were completely trashed. Even forgot the some large items so had to go back and took hours to return. Smoked in the house (non smokers house) the scary thing is that it’s sounds like this is normal for this lot."

    "Unprofessional bullies. They damaged 60% of our furniture and broke some entirely. Stay away from these people. They turned what started as an organized move into a nightmare. I have never dealt with anyone as bad as this. Totally traumatised. "

    "Not sure why all the bad reviews. This is the second time we have hired LJ's, to move a 3 bedroom house + garage, first from house to storage then from storage to new house and they have gone up and beyond the call of duty to ensure their tasks were carried out properly and to a high standard.

    Let me just say on the side, I am born and raised in West auckland, for the most part Westied are straight up and direct people. If you muck LJ's around and dont keep them in the loop then why be surprised if they cut straight to the chase? It's a matter of being honest with what your house and property entail.

    For example, the new house we have, it has a shared drive way. So, I ticked the box on the form saying the property had a shared drive way. Not rocket science aye. It seems like many reviewers here tried to lie about what are the true spcifications of their properties. If you do this, dont be surprised to be pulled up on it.

    Thank you to LJ Furniture Removers, to Les and Team! Good fella's, good work, good quality!

    "This operator is 100% unprofessional. Gave me a quote including a piano and when he got to my place argued that he didn't quote a piano until proven wrong. He then said he under quoted me as I had too much stuff even though I had itemised what he would be moving (2 bedroom apartment) in an email to him. His website was a good and looked professional, but when he arrived he was in a hired truck with one other helper who looked barely old enough or strong enough to do the work. I had to pre-pay him before commencement and once he arrived he wanted more money which I refused. I asked for my money back and he said he would return it after a 3 hour cancellation fee. He never returned 1 cent. CROOK!! I see his website is no longer - clearly he's upset too many people."

    "I have had a very poor and un professional experience with this company . i was qouted 370$ to move our two bedroom house 100m down the road the owner Leslie Crummer assured me this was a fixed price and he was doing me a favour. the company carried out the work damaging our furniture and walls in new house in the process . at the end of job the owner gave me a bill of 877$ and before i could question the cost he started to make threats and wasnt leaving until i paid him in cash. he cleaned me out i only had 600 so i gave it to him to leave now hes coming around threatining us and my partner also scaring my kids and threatining our landlords who live nextdoor .. we are now seeking legal action and les has been tresspassed from our property"

    "Worst movers ever!! I can relate to all of the bad reviews, and also believe (like another reviewer commented on) the good reviews are made up.

    Like other reviewers have commented on, we had late movers, were told we had too much stuff, had a lot of time being wasted where the movers are doing nothing, were yelled and screamed at (because apparently that's how you speak to people), had wrecked stuff, was told to help carry stuff..we kind of thought that's what we were paying them for...and had visible eye rolling and snorting when we weren't carrying stuff. We can also add we were threatened to be beaten up (very professional).

    In addition to above, Les would not take our stuff off the truck until we paid the extra cost of $300 above our quote; my only regret was not calling the cops. Next time we are looking for movers I will definitely be reading the reviews first! We were also not given a receipt and would suggest Mr Tax man come and take a look at this guy and his cowboy outfit.

    "Worst move ever. Totally unprofessional, so many items damaged / scratched / missing. We paid for 3 men, we got Les, another guy and Les's three children. We paid $340 for house cleaning (Les's wife), including rubbish removal. When new owners moved in, house not clean, rubbish not removed. Les kept telling us we had too much stuff - since when was this a crime? Use this guy at your own risk - my wife's treasured walnut veneer coffee table ruined, two TVs damaged, various scractches on furniture, boxes not labeled correctly - still hunting for TV remotes. Having met Les I am sure he will have a long story full of excuses, but basically its a cowboy outfit full stop."

    "Our house move 2 weeks ago was a VERY disappointing experience with LJ Furniture Movers. They left most of our stuff behind in the storage shed, promised to return on the Monday to collect it and this still hasn't happened.
    They chipped all my marble table top and overcharged us for the extra vehicle they needed to move our furniture up and down the driveway.
    I would NOT use them again!

    "i confirmed the rate and date of the move. I confirmed the move two days before the move and he had the wrong date. Did not turn up at all on the day. I called and he said two hours away. I recalled and he said he had sub-contractor to do the job & they did not turn up. Had to move the next day. Turned up at 9.30am as arranged (tried to say turned up at 8.30am when the job was finished) Overcharged 1.5 hours at the end plus $20 an hour more. Wanted cash on the spot which I declined. Said "I'll send the boys around if you don't pay" Never gave me an invoice as I requested. Would never use them again and neither will any-one I know."

    "I found LJ Furniture Movers to be extremely professional and efficient with their work. I was impressed with their speed of getting the job done, and with how Les coordinated the job with his men - clevery executed. Les communicated well with me throughout the day, as they had been held up by a complicated move before my one. The price was good, and their truck is a nice size to get down narrow driveways. I\'ll definitely call them next time I move. Thanks for a stress-free move fellas!"

    "This was the most unprofessional service I have ever received!!! I asked for half a house load of furniture to be removed, listed on their website for $75 an hour, they turned up 45minutes late with their full truck for $95 and hour, and mucked around for half an hour because they had to park their truck at the end of the drive and walk ten steps to it!! the owner – Les, called me YELLING at me telling me I should have told him about the driveway - which I did, I was so horrified I asked them to leave (I am a small lady and my husband was away) they apologized and continued moving, once the truck was full, the owner of the company – Les, called and said the price had just gone up to $120 an hour!! I asked why he didn’t just tell me this to begin with, he said because then he wouldn’t have made any money at all!! THEN they charged me for an extra hour, and would not leave my house until I paid them - and only in cash!! The owner yelled and swore at me, threatened to come to my house to \'sort me out\' This company is COWBOY! DO NOT USE THIS COMANY the other listings must be fake because there is no way this company is reputable, I am taking them to court and pressing charges for threatening behavior- DO NOT USE THEM!!!"
    Les responded:
    "Gabrielle and her partner whom we moved from Green bay to Mt Albert they had a 2 and a half to 3 bedroom house full of furniture, no boxes, no clothes in draws because they had moved all the small stuff themselves to save money. The dispute she had with me Les (Owner of L.J Furniture Movers) is simple I charged her extra to have my men walk their furniture up a 30-40metre driveway to reach our truck, had she told me earlier about the driveway i would have given her this information and the reason for the extra cost. Plus i would have put 3 men on that truck. The job only took 2.5 hours we charged her $120.00 per hour plus a $60.00 callout fee and my men left. No threats or any misconduct of any kind came from me or my men we conducted ourselves in a professional manner throughout this whole job. But we on the other hand have threatening messages left on my phone as well as text messages that her tough guy partner left me. It is currently with the Henderson Police station that assures me we have enough to commence proceedings against this couple. Meanwhile she continues to slander my company using this site I’m not happy with NoCowboys for not authenticating the feedback this couple have been spreading before they put it up. These customers have lied to all of us and still continue to spin deceit all over 2.5 hours of moving time \"Unbelievable”. I leave it to the reader as to whom you believe, there will be no refund what so ever from me as far as I’m concerned this matter is closed they can try scamming someone else."

    They didn\'t damage one item in our 3 bedroom move.
    They also didn\'t seem to slow down until the job was finished.

    "Apart from receiving a confirmation phone call to confirm the time of the move at midnight the movers did show up on time. Their rates given were incorrect however and it's not the simple $90/hr as stated on their website. They do charge a % of truck filled also, as I discovered when they added a $40 call out fee on because the truck "was more than half full". As long as you don't mind unclear communication the move went relatively easily. Just make sure you have additional cash to pay at the end of the move"
