How we vet
every partner

You're trusting a stranger with everything you own. Before any moving company can take a single lead on ShiftingHub, they clear the same five checks. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

  1. 01

    Documents & GST verified

    We confirm business registration, GST number and the owner's identity. A company that can't produce clean paperwork never makes it past this step.

  2. 02

    Background & police check

    Owners and their teams are background-verified. You're letting people into your home, so we make sure you know who they are.

  3. 03

    In-person office & fleet audit

    We visit the premises, inspect the vehicles and packing setup, and meet the team. Real operations, checked in person, not a listing on paper.

  4. 04

    Published Google ratings

    We sync each partner's public Google rating every day and publish it on their profile, whatever it says. A sustained slide puts a listing at risk.

  5. 05

    Ongoing monitoring

    We track every rating and complaint after listing. Slip below the standard and you're delisted, so the network only gets stronger.

Vetting is only half of it

The checks get a good partner in the door. These protections stand behind every move you book through the platform.

  • Insured in transit

    Your goods are covered against damage while they're on the move.

  • Money-back guarantee

    If a partner doesn't deliver what was agreed, we make it right or refund you.

  • Ratings, published and monitored

    Drop below the standard and a partner is removed. The badge stays meaningful.

Questions about our checks

What does the Verified Partner badge actually mean?
It means the partner has cleared all five steps above: document and GST verification, background and police checks, an in-person office and fleet audit, and a published Google rating, with ongoing monitoring after listing. The badge is never automatic.
How many companies actually get listed?
Most applicants don't make it. We turn away any company that fails document checks, can't pass an in-person audit, or doesn't hold the rating standard. A smaller, verified network is the whole point.
What happens if a partner's rating drops?
Partners are monitored continuously. If a partner's Google rating slides or they accumulate unresolved complaints, they're removed from the platform.
Are my goods protected during the move?
Yes. Moves booked through the platform are covered against damage in transit, and our money-back guarantee applies if a partner doesn't deliver what was agreed.
Does it cost anything to get quotes?
No. Comparing quotes from verified partners is completely free for customers, with no obligation to book.
