Grant from Mr Shifter LTD

Today, I had a conversation with a customer who had concerns about our online booking system. They felt that the form we require to be filled out was too complex and suggested that we should offer phone bookings as an alternative. I tried to explain why we do things the way we do.

I understand the appeal of talking to a real person on the phone, especially when it comes to planning a move with a company like Mr. Shifter. However, I wanted to stress the importance of our online form. It's not there just to complicate things; it's designed to help us make sure we send the right team and equipment to make your move smooth and efficient. That's why it may take a bit of your time to complete.

I do acknowledge that the form can seem like a hassle. But what's important to understand is that if we switched to handling phone bookings, we'd have to hire more staff to manage those calls. This, in turn, would lead to higher costs for our services. At Mr Shifter, we're committed to providing affordable solutions to our valued customers, and the online form is a key part of that commitment.

So please, the next time any small local firm asks you to fill out an online form, it's not about inconvenience but rather about ensuring a seamless process and keeping our costs reasonable. It's our primary aim is to offer affordable, efficient, and high-quality services to all our customers.

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
β€œBurglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”

Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
