the past twelve months, and have found their promptness to respond
to requests, and the ability to appreciate the needs of our clients

resettlement is impeccable.

All of On Arrival’s services exceeded my expectations.
I moved into the “Absolutely Perfect” property which
I couldn’t have found without Eve and her ability to totally
understand my personal needs.
They provide the full suite of relocation services (orientation,
home finding, schools, community awareness etc etc). Not only
were they highly competitive price-wise, but the service from
the principals of the firm (Eve and Don Casagranda) was extremely
personal and engaged.
On Arrival made every effort to tune into my needs and wants
and were always gracious and accommodating. For the simple service
I contracted for, I felt that I received much more.
I was asked in my Customer Satisfaction Survey if I could recommend
ways of improving On Arrival’s service, and I can’t
think of a thing – They are absolutely wonderful.
I would highly recommend On Arrival to others.

UK to New Zealand
I was in Wellington for 3 months before my family arrived. So
personal meetings and discussions with On Arrival were particularly
helpful. Our family home was arranged through On Arrival and their
assistance in finding us the right area to settle, home and school
was exceedingly helpful.
Overall, their service was very beneficial and I have recommended
it to others.

Marllena Ifrim - Canada to New Zealand
Taking the decision to come to New Zealand, from Ottawa in Canada,
has not been an easy thing for me and my husband. All of a sudden,
ordinary things such as finding the appropriate sources of information,
renting a house, finding childcare arrangements or simply getting
around took on cosmic proportions.
I didn’t know where to begin. That is, until I was saved
by On Arrival, who transformed an enormously stressful situation
in a manageable experience. I was able to enjoy a walk on the
beach and to spend time marveling at the brightness of the stars
on a clear night sky.
Since coming to Wellington, On Arrival has been there with support
and guidance and has addressed all my re-settlement needs over
and above my expectations and made me feel like “Part of
their Family”.
Thanks to On Arrival, I have now had many opportunities to appreciate
the wonderful sense of friendship and support New Zealanders display
with such ease and grace. I am looking forward to becoming a part
of their world.
Should you elect to move to New Zealand, I highly recommend
that you contact On Arrival to assist you with your relocation
and re-settlement – Their service is impeccable and their
support is incredible.

to New Zealand
Hello Don,
I have been in Auckland for a month now, having arrived on 1
August from South Africa with my family. My employer (MWH) enlisted
the services of On Arrival to assist with our resettlement here.
As expected, the services provided by On Arrival have been a great
help and I shudder to think how much more stressful and difficult
this move would had been without it.
For us, probably the single biggest concern at arriving in a
new country, was not knowing anyone that we could call on for
help. It was therefore a huge relief that we were lucky enough
to have had Janet Colby assigned to us. It has been very reassuring
having her as our first contact. From the first big smile and
hug that greeted us at the airport, she has made us feel completely
at ease and at home. She has been (and still is) completely accessible
and willing and I wouldn't hesitate to contact her still, if I
needed any sort of help or advice. I have come to regard her as
a friend rather than a professional contact.
On the practical side, Janet has been invaluable, being flexible
and sensitive to our specific needs. We are very happy in our
first home, which Janet helped us find. Despite not really being
able to afford to fully furnish the house, it is almost there
already, thanks to Janet's network of contacts. In fact I have
just received a fax from Janet today, with a list of items for
sale by someone transferring overseas. As a result, we are really
pretty well settled already - know the bus routes, location of
doctors, shopping centres and supermarkets, community centre and
plunket, etc etc.
Janet is really to be commended for the effort she has put into
addressing our specific needs, her easy manner and her genuine
interest and concern.
Thanks to On Arrival and especially to Janet Colby for our soft
landing in NZ!

Dear Don,
April has obviously told you what a fantastic time we have all
been having. Our first few weeks in NZ have been exactly as we
wanted them to be stress free and sorted, jobs, schools, clubs,
house, cars.
All of this would not have been possible without your service
but apart from that I believe that April went far and above your
expectation's and not only April but George her husband has been
a great mate and totally allowed our involvement within their
family.
We have found some very special people to begin our life here
with and will cherish the memories these first few weeks hane
given us.
Many thanks for your help and guidance along the way it also
has been a temendous relief to us to have you there.
Look forward to seeing you when you are our way.
Regards
John, Debbie, JC and now finally Tarni (the dog!!!)
