Best Furniture Removalists in Victoria Melbourne and Geelong

These guys are shonky , rip-off merchants. They were 2.5 hours late on arrival. I prepaid for 4 hours and agreed to pay any difference. 3 men… Read more

managed to do one load with additional and significant help from us in a 4.5 ton truck with a 5 minute travel time between two houses 5 hours which included them taking a 1 hour and 40 minutes lunch break which was supposed to be 30 mins. Then they disappeared. Apparently because of the stairs in the new house which was clearly discussed at the time of the booking and paid for. But they didn't tell us they were quitting. When I called the moving crew they told me they were refueling and just getting coffee and kept lying. It took 2 hours of phone calls to establish they were not coming back and CBD Movers attempted to shake us down to send 2 trucks and 6 men but not until the next day and if we paid thousands of dollars on the spot. They since try relentlessly to charge an excess fee even though they did 3 hours of 20 minutes of "work" on the pre-paid 4 hours, including $150 additional for stairs which $30 was quoted and paid for. We had to book another moving company to finish the job and were severely compromised in terms of cost and delays, as a result. Horrible bunch of people running a very dishonest operation. Do not touch with a barge pole. Wish I had read this Consumer Affairs warning first: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/latest-news/cbd-movers-public-warning You should before you contemplate booking with these pieces of work.

Delivery was great and easy to track. So far so good!

Thanks to the guys at AAA City Removalists for their great and efficient service helping us move our 4 bedroom house. Would recommend!

A huge thank you to Man with a Van for coming to my rescue when another removalist left me completely hanging. They were incredibly accommodating… Read more

and, despite it being their day off, were willing to squeeze me in and find a way to help. My deep sofa was proving to be a real challenge, but they worked out a way to get it into the lift and safely up to my new apartment — something I’m extremely grateful for! After being messed around all day by the original removalists, who didn’t even turn up until 7pm and then couldn’t be bothered removing the sofa legs to get it into the lift, Man with a Van went above and beyond to get the job done. I won’t name and shame the other company, but I will absolutely name and praise Man with a Van. Their willingness to help, problem-solve and go the extra mile made a very stressful situation so much easier. Thank you again — you genuinely had my back when I needed it most. Highly recommend!

From start to finish everyone was wonderful. Kyron (sales agent) was thorough and insightful. I had to move our date for moving at least 3 times as… Read more

new place was not ready. Their reception staff never complained about changing everything. On the actual day of moving, the movers came dot on time. Looked after my furniture and medical equipment really well. We are still unpacking but there is certainly no damage so far. The movers were very careful.

Best experience so far in moving. I will definitely use them again if I have to move.

Communication prior to the removal collection was excellent whether that be with the general admin staff or our allocated consultant. As for the… Read more

removal teams, we had the pleasure of two crews over two days. Both crews were professional in their approach to handling and storing our household items. They were very polite and worked in a very efficient manner. An outstanding experience and looking forward to the arrival of our belongings in a few weeks.

we were very happy when you picked up our items and when the 2 guys delivered them to our new home, they went about the whole very professional. In… Read more

fact everyone we dealt with was so very helpful at every step of the process. We were concerned that there may have been some mould due to the wet weather and time in the 11 months in storage and thankfully there was none.

It certainly took any stress and worry away and can’t thank your people enough. May God Bless your team and thankyou once again.

Wayne and May McMaster Caloundra

Organised, efficient and good communication before and during the move.

Jay and Courtney did a fantastic job. They arrived on time, were very efficient wrapping and cataloging each item. I was blown away by how… Read more

beautifully all our household possessions were wrapped and securely packed into the shipping container. I have complete confidence that they will arrive in perfect condition in Europe.

Awful customer service with removalist connect- I sent very specific directions and parking situations for both locations. The removalists said these… Read more

were never passed onto them. This meant an extra hour of time was added to my invoice as the movers did not know where they were going. The job was then not able to be completed without me paying the invoice- threatening to charge me more and not attempting to assist in the situation until I paid. I then sent 3 follow up emails and called to review this and never heard anything back.

We booked a move with the team, and packed quicker than we planned due to unforseen circumstances. I rang the team to see if they could change the… Read more

date to the same day of the call or another earlier day. The team were awesome, happy to help and found us a slot on the day.

The moving crew arrived on time, went to the area were they could park, they were so friendly, kind and thorough. They took care of our furniture and got our job done so quickly that we saved $400 on the quoted price.

Would absolutely recommend based on my experience.

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.

Rocket Removals The Rockets team of Eddie (the maestro who directed operations) Andreas and Harry (non stop muscle guys who walked and carried) were… Read more

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.

My experience with Budget Self Pack Containers was fantastic from beginning to end. The team provided great options for my requirements and… Read more

responded quickly to my queries throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this service highly enough and will gladly use their services again for my next move.

Excellent quality of service, a genuinely passionate man who cares about pianos deeply and it shows in his work. He moved a 100yr old pianola for me and she arrived in great condition, and he was very friendly and endearing throughout the process.

Absolutely fantastic team. From Vlad explaining the process to Dan and Peta doing a great job with the pre-pack and finally with the movers John and Jefferson it went smoothly. So grateful for a hassle free and stress free move. Highly recommended.

AVOID - WORST REMOVALIST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. Early 2006 I used this company for an approx 10 kilometre move in Sydney earlier this year. After… Read more

one truck load pick up and delivery to my home address, the removalists refused to go back and finish the move that day, but promised they would be at the pick up address at 7am the next day to complete the move. I made the BIG mistake of paying them for that day's work as I trusted them to go back the next day as arranged. Well, they didn't turn up the next day and I made numerous phone calls to different Movee phone numbers over the following 2 - 3 hours with no response. The pick up address was getting angrier and angrier with me as they were leaving for overseas the following day and the furniture had to be gone that day. I was forced to book another removalist at an exorbitant fee ($2,500 for 3 hours work) as it was a Sunday and a last minute booking. I was so distressed that I actually experienced the first panic attack in my life. Not only this, but there was damage to the lift and walls at the pick up address and damage to the furniture and walls at my end. The only recompense I later received was the $60 booking fee. Do yourself a favour and NEVER use this company - AWFUL.

I recently used the team from Men That Move for an apartment move to a storage unit. In the booking the level of items I had was underestimated and… Read more

the two guys worked tirelessly and carefully throughout the move. They were very polite and efficient. I was very much appreciative of the effort they put in given that three people may have been a better option. I will use this company again and I highly recommend this company to others.

Highly recommend Top Removals Sydney! Silver and Kubi were absolutely fantastic—friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced. They worked… Read more

efficiently, took great care of my belongings, and made what could have been a stressful move feel easy.

Nothing was too much trouble, and they were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thanks so much, Silver and Kubi, for all your hard work!

chaps, helpful and chatty. Your staff are an asset to your business. I would never move with any one else.

My whole afternoon was spent waiting for Kent Removals to show up, and no allowance was made regarding price. Very disappointed. I have no complaint… Read more

regarding the very helpful and efficient team of guys who actually moved my small amount of furniture... except that they arrived five hours after the scheduled time frame. I understand that some jobs take longer than expected, but this was hardly acceptable. Shifting my stuff then took less than half an hour, and even after wasting my entire afternoon waiting for Kent Removals to arrive, I was still charged the full 2 hour fee. I feel this is not good business, and am utterly disappointed that consideration was not given to the circumstances on the day, and concessions made to the price. I am happy to rewrite this review if contact is made and some reimbursement is provided for the enormous fee and time wasted.

Provided a very professional service and we got 100% satisfaction from the property owner on inspection. Highly recommend!

Daniel and Alan were absolutely the best! They handled some tricky furniture upstairs and downstairs. They were punctual and moved everything with care. They were always checking about what to move and where to place it. Highly recommend!!

Moving is stressful and expensive, there's no way around that, it is what it is. I relocated from New York City to Melbourne. I am an artist, so my… Read more

freight was primarily artwork and personal belongings, no furniture. Dealing with international freight movers was more drama and stress than relocating my two cats. My USA movers informed me while they were loading boxes of my belongings onto their truck that I would be responsible for acquiring movers in Melbourne to pick up my freight - 3 crates, 1 pallet. I had been of the understanding that I was paying for door to door shipping. I literally could not find anyone in Melbourne who would pick up the phone or answer emails, or if they did answer emails it would be nonsense and misinformation. Jas from Vicmovers picked up the phone! He informed me that normally he doesn't pick up international calls as it's usually spam, but because I had literally just emailed Vicmovers about my situation, he figured it was the same person - smart. I got more information about how international freight shipping works in that one phone call with Jas than I did from other movers whose services I had employed. And he was kind enough to ask me what time it was in New York City, (12AM), and to wish me a good nights sleep. The next two months there was a lot of back and forth between all the entities involved, and Vicmovers was on top of everything all the time. Every day in the final week before the delivery Jas and Amar were working on trying to find out if the freight had been cleared so they could book a pick up time from the dock. They were trying to schedule their other work around my freight and dealing with all the delays from the dock. For instance the shipping container arrived on the 11th July as planned, but clearance of my freight didn't occur until 22nd July - 8 business days, even though I was initially told it would be 3-4 days. Vicmovers, particularly Jas were emailing and calling me all the time, and worked so hard to make the process smooth. There were hiccups along the way and more money exchanged hands, but that's the deal with international shipping, it's a moving target, and a pretty intense process, there a lot of unknowns during the process. Jas and Kamran delivered my freight precisely on the day that it was cleared. They were fantastic, careful, mindful and a pleasure to be around. Please do yourself a favour and don't bother with other moving companies, Vicmovers will get the job done, they are the best. They are extremely experienced and understand how to navigate this tricky kind of freight pickup and delivery.

excellent; the staff and drivers friendly and professional. I was extremely impressed by the efficiency and care the drivers took when loading our furniture. The price was very competitive and affordable. I will be happy to recommend them to anyone and will use them again when moving.

Great work guys. They managed to haul 126kg box upstairs without touching the newly painted staircase. Would definitely recommend

crew arrived promptly for an early morning start, were friendly, professional and skilled at moving all our belongings without damage. They manoeuvred a tricky on street parking situation at our new house with ease. We would highly recommend Peter Saddler removals.

Lots of furnitures are damaged. email to the company and no one replied till now (2 years +) – I used CityMove to move house twice. 1st time is excellent and 2nd time is horrible. The 1st time in October 2016, the price is fair, the people were… Read more

very professional and I had a good experience. So I didn’t have any hesitation to choose CityMove again in 2020 when I planned to move. However, I had a terrible experience this time. My booking of arrival time is 8:00am~9:00am, but no one turned up till 9:30am, so I called -- it seems they forgot to assign people for my booking. When the movers came late in the afternoon (after 1pm); they appears very tired, they told me they did 2 jobs already that's why they are exhausted. We were fine with this delay, but they were so careless with our furniture! The most horrible thing was that lots of our furniture was damaged. Including: - Our new Blackwood display cabinet, was scratched and with a hole! - Blackwood dinner table scratched; - TV unit scratched, and a piece of wood in one of the legs was chipped and gone; - Coffee table scratched; - 2 Wooden beds scratched. (I saw they had blankets/clothes in the truck, but they didn’t use them to protect my furniture. Even after I prompted them to be more careful. They still just roughly pushed the furniture into the truck.) I reported this to them on 17th Dec 2020, but no one replied me back.

This is a scam. They mislead and overcharge. And they don’t shy away from it when you confront them either. They are useless amateurs who couldn’t… Read more

even lift basic pieces of furniture, damaged items, and tracked grease all through the house.

I will be reporting them and taking them to court.
