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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
