AJ and his team did a fantastic job moving us from Rolleston to Darfield. They were proactive when the weather didn't cooperate on our planned date, and had us rebooked and fully shifted the morning of the next day. Really clear and responsive communication, easy to deal with, and a no fuss move on the day.
