How it works
How it works in Christchurch
Three steps. No messing around.
Post Your Job
Describe what needs moving, where it's going in Christchurch, and when. Free to post.
Drivers Compete
ID-verified drivers compete by sending their best price for the job.
Choose Your Driver
Compare bids and driver profiles, then accept the one that suits. Payment is held until the job's done.
How pricing works in Christchurch
You never name a price. Drivers set their own, and you choose the bid that suits you.
You post, free
Describe what needs moving in Christchurch, add photos, and set your dates. Posting costs nothing and you are under no obligation to accept any bid.
Drivers bid against each other
ID-verified drivers send their own price for your job. A driver already heading through Canterbury may price it differently, because your job fits a trip they are making anyway.
You pay when you accept
You're charged when you accept a bid, and the payment is held securely until the job's done.
How SoundMove protects you
Built into every booking, not an optional extra.
Payment held until the job's done
Your money sits securely with SoundMove until the job's done. We release it to the driver when you confirm, or automatically 24 hours after they mark it done if you haven't raised an issue.
Tracked step by step
Every delivery moves through timestamped checkpoints, from confirmed to picked up to delivered, visible to both sides.
Message your driver
Once the job is booked, message your driver on the platform, so arrangements and updates stay in one place.
Verified drivers, real reviews
Drivers are identity-verified before they can bid, and carry ratings from the jobs they have completed.

Access and parking
Inside the four avenues the city is flat and gridded, so the run is straightforward and the time goes on access at either end. On the Port Hills, Cashmere, Huntsbury and Mt Pleasant have narrow zigzag streets and front doors a long flight of steps off the kerb, and Lyttelton sits the far side of the tunnel, so a closure sends you over Dyers Pass. In town, Durham and Montreal are a one-way pair and so are Barbadoes and Madras, so a missed turn costs a full loop. Since the rebuild, townhouses sit several deep down a shared right of way, and Belfast to Halswell is a long run across town.
How SoundMove works, and what to ask anywhere else
Different jobs suit different options. Here is how ours works, and the questions worth asking before you book any of them.
| On SoundMove | Worth asking anywhere else | |
|---|---|---|
| Couch-sized items | Built for them. Post the item with photos and drivers with a suitable vehicle bid on it. | Check the size and weight limits before you book. |
| Who sets the price | Drivers set their own prices and bid against each other for your job. | Ask how the price is worked out, and what could change it on the day. |
| Payment protection | Your payment is held from the moment you accept a bid until the job's done. We release it when you confirm, or automatically 24 hours after the driver marks it done if you haven't raised an issue. | Ask when payment is due, and what protects it if something goes wrong. |
| Single items & small loads | Post just the one item. Each bid is for the job you posted. | Ask whether a minimum charge applies to a job this size. |
