To begin with, the team arrived over an hour late, and only two movers attended instead of the three we were expecting. We received no prior… Read more

notification of either the delay or the reduced team size.

Upon arrival, the team damaged our letterbox. Despite multiple attempts to contact the office to report this issue and seek assistance, our calls were not returned, which was extremely disappointing.

The issues continued throughout the move. A second truck also arrived an hour late, further delaying the process. We observed multiple instances of careless handling of our belongings, including boxes clearly marked “fragile” being dropped from the upper level of our home to the lower level, even after being spoken to about the lack of respect of our belonging. Items were transported down the driveway on a dolly in a reckless manner, with no apparent regard for their condition.

There also appeared to be no sense of urgency or awareness of the time-sensitive nature of our settlement. Toward the end of the move, items were simply being stuffed into the truck rather than packed with appropriate care and attention.

At the new property, the lack of care continued. Our belongings were placed arbitrarily despite clear verbal instructions, creating unnecessary stress and disorganisation. Most concerningly, my husband’s desk was completely broken during the move along with a variety of other items being damaged and broken beoynd repair.

Brisk Transport are now refusing to acknowledge any of our complaints, despite multiple attempts to contact them.

Overall, the service fell well below reasonable expectations and caused significant inconvenience, stress, and damage to our property. We will never use this company again.

Jacinta for the initial assessment and quote, Gabbie for the regular updates while our container was in transit, and Batsu for the excellent communication once our shipment arrived in Ireland. Every step of the process was handled professionally and efficiently.

Special mention also to the packing team in Melbourne, who took incredible care with our fragile and precious belongings, and to the two Stephens who unpacked everything in Drogheda with professionalism, humour, and great care.

We are extremely grateful to the whole OSS team for making what could have been a stressful relocation feel seamless and stress-free. We genuinely couldn’t thank you enough and would highly recommend OSS to anyone planning an international move.

They carefully disassembled the beds and bookshelves and moved all the items with great care into the garage. A week later, they returned to reassemble everything back into place. Everything went smoothly with the removals.

Eddy and David were excellent. Although they didn’t talk much, they were extremely friendly, professional, and took great care in their work.

A2B has been a pleasure to deal with, and all the employees have been polite, friendly, and courteous. We highly recommend A2B to anyone looking for reliable and professional removalists. Thank you again to Eddy, David, and the entire team for making the whole process smooth and stress-free.

If you enjoy being jerked around by a removalist company that can’t keep its own pricing straight, this is the one for you. I provided full details… Read more

for a quote, received a rate, paid a deposit, and then got a confirmation email with a higher rate. When I questioned it, they sent the original quote again — only to call the next day and say, “Oops, it’s actually a different rate,” but hey, they’d knock off $5 as a “favour.” How generous.

This kind of chaotic admin — or let’s be honest, shady bait-and-switch tactics — made it impossible to trust them. We cancelled the booking, but even that was a saga of multiple emails. And the kicker? They refused to refund the deposit, citing an admin fee. Apparently, I was paying for the same incompetence that made me cancel in the first place.

Later I found out they’ve got a warning from Consumer Affairs Victoria for unethical practices. Wish I’d checked sooner. Lesson learned: steer clear unless you enjoy paying for confusion and dishonesty.

careful with every item of our antique furniture and especially with the mirrors. They arrived on schedule at 8am then worked continuously until 11am and had a short break then filled the 12 ton truck by 1.00pm. They also moved the truck on 2 occasions to allow a neighbour to gain access to her property. At 11am Eddie realised that the truck was not big enough to take all our belongings and he organised a second truck to arrive at 1.40pm where Derek and another diligently picked up the mirrors and odds and ends for another hour and cleared our old house At the delivery end the guys positioned and reassembled the furniture over a 3 hour period and my wife and I were very well pleased with their effort. We would recommend Rocket Removals (who were recommended to us by our Real Estate Agent Morrison Kleeman) based on work effort, care, and safety in all their actions. Thanks guys you were great.

Two furniture removalists removing cardboard boxes from the back of a van

What do furniture removalists do?

Furniture removalists remove and move household and office furniture to different locations. This could be anywhere from between two places in the same suburb to between two places in the same state, territory, or country, and sometimes even internationally.

Removalists generally come to the pick-up address, remove furniture and other goods, and load them into the removal vehicle (usually a van or truck) before transporting them to the move-in site and unloading them there.

However there’s more to furniture removal than the name suggests.

Furniture removalist services sometimes also offer the following:

  • Inspection of the pick-up premises to determine what needs to be moved.
  • Packing and labelling items when required.
  • Unpacking boxes.
  • Hiring boxes, cartons, and other moving containers.
  • Cleaning services.
  • Moving pets and/or plants.
  • Storage for furniture or other items at their own or a third-party storage facility.
  • Clearing out unwanted items and moving them to a donation facility or the tip.

Is it worth hiring a furniture removalist?

Whether or not it's worth hiring a removalist depends on what resources you have available to you at the time of your move. If you have plenty of time to spare, the right vehicle, and don’t mind doing the heavy lifting yourself, then you may find that outsourcing this work isn’t worth the cost.

We go through some of the pros and cons of hiring a furniture removalist to help you decide what's right for you.

Pros
Less stress. The stress of coordinating and executing a move can be difficult, and movers can take over this process for you. You also don’t need to worry about putting friendships to the test by roping in your mates or family to help you.
Movers are trained to move all types of items. Having experienced, professional movers means they’ll know how to move items that are more fiddly to transport - such as that huge couch or piano that you’re scratching your head over.
Less time consuming. You won’t have to worry about constant back and forth trips between our old home and new home - a mover can usually do it all in one trip.
Don't need your own equipment. To do your own move, you may need to borrow a van, or buy or borrow equipment like a hand trolley or lifting straps to move heavier items, and surface guards or furniture mover pads to protect your floors when you drag items over it. Hiring a removalist means you don’t need to worry about getting these extra tools, as they’ll have everything needed.
Less physically demanding. Movers are physically fit and will do all the heavy lifting for you, so in many cases you’ll barely have to lift a finger. If you experience chronic pain, back pain, or another physical condition, you may want to sit a DIY furniture removal out.
Cons
More expensive. The removalist cost is often the main (and sometimes only) reason many people don’t enlist professional help. For many, the repeated car trips in between homes to save that extra cost is worth it - you’ll have to think about the trade-off and see whether you value your money or time more.
Can be difficult entrusting your belongings to strangers. You may have valuable and sentimental items, such as family heirlooms, antiques, or fragile items that make it difficult for you to hand over to movers - and even if you don’t, you may still be concerned about the safety of your things. That’s why finding a reputable mover is so important.

What to look for in a furniture removal company

Customer service

A good place to start when trying to figure out the reputability of a mover is by asking around - word of mouth will be as good as gold in your search.

Read the latest reviews to find out more about a company’s level of customer service, whether the movers arrived on time for the job, and how well they performed a job.

Having the weight of positive reviews about a removalist’s great service behind them can help you rest a little easier during the moving day stress.

Accreditation

Furniture removalists don’t require a specific certification in order to do their job, but for some people, knowing that their mover is subject to certain checks can give them peace of mind when entrusting them with their belongings.

The Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) audits its members and has a code of conduct that outlines removal training, practices and standards that accredited movers must undertake and abide by. You can consult their website to find a removalist that complies with the organisation’s regulations.

Insurance

While all reputable furniture movers will do everything they can to ensure your belongings are safely moved from A to B, the reality is is that not everything is in our control and accidents can and do happen.

An insured removalist is more likely to be a safe removalist. Considering you want your items to be delivered intact, you should only book an insured mover.

Consider the following questions when shopping around for a furniture removalist - bonus points for movers who have their level of insurance listed clearly on their website.

  • Do they have public liability insurance?
  • Are the transported goods insured? What happens if goods are damaged or lost? Movers should be able to confidently provide you with a ‘replace or reimburse’ guarantee.
  • Is their vehicle insured?

How much does it cost for furniture removals?

Before shopping around for a home or office removalist, you should take note of your contents so you can give a mover an idea of what needs to be transported to get a more accurate removalist quote and see if they can feasibly do the job.

Different home removalists will charge differently, but most will either charge by the hour or quote you for the entire job, often from how long it takes to leave their base for the job until the time it takes them to return to the base after the job’s completion.

Removalist prices will vary depending on a few factors:

  • Type of move. Are you after a single item removal, moving a few pieces of furniture, the contents of a room, or a whole home? The more you have to move, the more you will need to pay, particularly if you need a truck removalist rather than a van or the removalist company needs to send out multiple people to do the move.
  • Type of property you’re moving from and into. If you’re moving from or into an upper floor apartment - particularly one without an elevator - then you’ll likely need to fork out more than if you’re moving from or into a single story house.
  • Distance between pick-up and move-in addresses. The longer the mover will be on the road travelling from one location to the other, the more you’ll have to pay.
  • Date of move. Keep in mind that you may be charged a surcharge for moving on a weekend or public holiday.
  • Time of move. Take the timing of your move into consideration and try to book a removalist when road traffic will be lightest to help you keep your costs down and ensure a (relatively) speedy move.

Many removalist websites will offer online estimates to help you determine a rough cost, and then can provide you with a more detailed quote once you send them more information about your specific move.

You should try and get at least 3 different quotes from different local removalists to see how much you should expect to pay to move your things as well as to ensure you’re getting a good deal. This however doesn’t necessarily mean you should go with the cheapest quote, as you should look for value and level of service above all else.

Backloading

If you’re doing a long-distance move, consider looking into backloading services to reduce costs - it’s often the cheapest way to move furniture interstate.

Backloading refers to when your belongings are loaded onto a vehicle that is returning empty back to the city it originally came from - it’s simply taking advantage of a truck that’s in the right place at the right time.

It usually means you’ll only really have to pay for a one-way rather than a return trip, or you may even only need to pay for the space that your belongings occupy on the moving vehicle.

This is usually a more viable option for those who can be more flexible with their move date, as they’ll have to wait for when the vehicle is passing through their area.

Preparing for your removalist

Removalists can usually only do a good job if you’re also pulling your weight in the lead up to and on the moving day. Here are a few tips to help you organise yourself and your things so that the movers can be efficient.

  • Have your things packed in secure, clearly labelled boxes. Highlight any fragile items or items that are special to you to ensure that they’re handled with extra care.
  • Disassemble furniture if required, and empty and defrost your fridge ahead of time.
  • Ensure you also have someone at the move-in address to let the movers into the property and provide direction with unloading.
  • Make sure that there’s adequate parking for the removalist vehicle at both addresses. If you have your own vehicle, you could park it in a large space the night before to ‘reserve’ the spot for your mover, or even get permission from a neighbour to use their driveway. Doing this can prevent you racking up a fine or angering your new neighbours if the removalist has to double park.
  • Label any packed boxes with the room they should be moved into to save time and help you locate items easily.

Wrapping up

Packing up your life and moving can be a significant milestone for many people, and having professionals there to help you can help make the process as smooth as possible. However, everyone's moves are different, so deciding whether a mover is the right option for you is ultimately up to you.
