Local Movers Needed Soon

I plan to move apartments from northern New Territories to Kwoloon/Olympic area. Any recommendations for local movers and what should I expect?
I see them often on Caine Rd (where I work)moving people. Soome crew look good and some are sloppy.
Costs?
Boxes - where to get?
Typical expenses for a larger truck. One man and a van not big enough for me.
Thanks

Hello Expat Mover,

In 1991, I was a laid - off banker looking for a cheap local moving company with good English language capabilities. As I couldn't find one, I STARTED MY OWN called "Trade Winds," with specific attention to the "Self - Pay Expat."

Since the day I opened 20 years ago, I've been helping people like you with small and large local moves around HK. We provide "Van & Man," "Truck & Driver" or Full Packing & Moving services according to your needs. We also do storage and fully international relocations as needed.

Or you can just call me for boxes & packing materials / general moving questions. 2803-2561 or click here for quick & honest moving assistance.

Hi All

I don't usually do this but I must give Trade Winds a promo.

We used their service 2 weeks ago and were very very happy, friendly helpful guys (very efficient) and reasonable prices. Having frequently used local vans with limited cantonese TW took the headache out of moving for us! Highly recommend them.

PM me, I moved and found a great, inexpensive, kind, guy. Very impressed by his crew. NO, I don't work for him.....

As a veteran "movee" who has used 3 different movers for 4 moves, I must wholeheartedly agree with Team NZ.

I used Trade Winds for my family's recent move from Pok Fu Lam to Discovery Bay. Unlike movers I've used in the past, the TW staff all spoke excellent English and were a jolly bunch. They went about the work efficiently and communicated with you when they came across possible problems, like existing defects in furniture. My move was supervised by the owner and proprietor, Steve, who kept me updated on the progress every hour or so.

Pricing-wise, TW delivered a clear estimate that caps the maximum bill and gave me ways to make the move cheaper. I chose to do my own packing, and was able to shave $1500 off the bill. I could've supplied my own packing supplies, too, except I don't know where to get boxes in Hong Kong. In addition, TW lays out all the possible hidden fees in their estimate -- like the DB parking/tunnel charges -- so there were no surprises. This was such a welcome change compared to my previous move, where the mover had the galls to ask me for $2000 extra in fees because they completed the work 5 hours late!!

And this was the most important thing: TW completed the move in an orderly, timely fashion. Discovery Bay has a policy of having all moving companies out by 6 pm, so TW finished the job by 5:30 pm, with time to spare. They didn't rush near the end and throw boxes into rooms, and they didn't hurry through the reassembly of furniture. Even though I didn't use TW for packing, their policy is to pack a day ahead of time to allow ample time for the move on the day of.

Without a doubt, Trade Winds is the best local mover I've ever used, and I would definitely call on these guys again.

Trade-Winds recently moved me from Happy Valley to Sheung Wan. They provided absolutely one of the best moving experiences I have ever had. Steve, the owner, was friendly and accommodating when coordinating the logistics of the move. Steve even sent me boxes, tape and plenty of bubble wrap as I had opted to pack up everything myself. Once the movers arrived at the scheduled move time, everything was made extremely effortless for me as Steve and his movers were very pleasant, professional, experienced, organized and efficient. They packed and unpacked all of my belongings thoroughly; disassembled all the large furniture with expertise and efficiency; loaded and unloaded all of my belongings carefully and helped me set up the furniture as I desired in my new home. As an added bonus, they recycle all of their materials and are extremely environment conscious, which I found to be very appealing and rare for moving companies. In addition, Steve and the movers all speak English, so expats will not encounter any communication problems.

I highly recommend Trade Winds' moving service as THE best!!!!

Can someone please let me know the contact information for a man with a van? I am simply moving 1 block and will need a man to help me lift a few boxes (no furniture) and transport it to my new apt. Both places have lifts and no need for furniture. Thanks!

Hi!
I moved my stuff with Trade Winds 2 weeks ago: Steve and his crew were efficient and nice and everything went smoothly.
I checked the prices of 4 other movers and there was few difference. Trade wings price is average but doesn't overcharge for stairs and other little extra as others do (and you don't really know if they'll add something as a suprise).
Storage fees are the lowest and overall I think it was a better deal with a no-surprise price tag.
In addition, Steve is a nice guy, gives better service and speaks English better than I do :) (as it's not my mothertongue).
He's storing my furniture for at least 2 months so I'll tell you later if everything will go as smoothly for the second part of the job!

Dear all,

I moved flat in June 2010 with Trade Winds in HK and the service was great at a good price. I recommend them. I found Steve a very nice guy efficient and problem solving. He personally came and supervised everything. I was very happy.

Recently used Tradewinds and was very happy with their service. I had been let down by an earlier request for a van from some other man and had to move quickly. Steve was flexible and prices fair and transparent.

LOL.. sorry to take a jab, you do realize that you named your company after an adjective that is... opposite of smooth....

Posted by rockey1 (413 days ago)

Good one: what day follows 31 March... ???!!! :-D

Posted by bigbig (409 days ago)

we just used Tradewinds for our move and are very happy with their service. They are on time, did a good job packing, moving and unpacking, very helpful even when the big cabinet is difficult to dissemble. Price is also very competitive (I got quotes from several companies)

Posted by koala226 (147 days ago)

I've gotta be honest here.Good news first. They charged us very little for a lot of work and a lot of manpower. Steve is a nice guy and the crew work very hard. But if you are a very specific person on how you want things done, or, you have very high standards, I suggest you hire Crown or Santa Fe, the big guys. They are professional by ten folds.

Posted by Nanjing93 (146 days ago)

Hi, do they move things to Discovery Bay..., ?

Posted by butternut10 (72 days ago)

I just moved to my new apartment on Caine road over the weekend with Trade Winds. I got to say that Steve is one of the nicest person you will meet. Steve and his team of 2 guys made the move a breeze. They are friendly and efficient. His rate is very fair, all the crew speaks English and they do a great job, i would use them again and highly recommend them.

Just experienced Haarsh. They were brutal and they lie! Avoid this company! You'll thank me later.

Used Trade Winds last week and was very impressed with Steve and his team. He came with 3 guys, supervised, but also rolled up his sleeves to move all my stuff. The quote he gave me over the phone was EXACTLY what he charged and made this move easy, BREEZY. Highly recommend Steve Dressler and Trade Winds. If you need gweilo movers (and I do-- I do not speak a lick of Chinese), this is the guy.
