Damaged Couch, Washed hands of responsibility – Moved from GC to Melbourne, movers on the GC significantly damaged my couch and I had to chase them to activate the insurance claim, after about 2 weeks of chasing their accounts department finally sent me a form to fill out which i did same day and returned, 4 weeks down the line no word from the insurance company so I called them (Crawfords...… Read more
trading under name of Broadspire Asia) who now want me to pay for an assessor! Every panel of my white leather couch which was supposed to be professionally wrapped and packaged was damaged - cut, dragged, leather scraped, electrical adapter was lost and clips to keep the couch together were all broken off yet instead of paying the Excess of $700, they now want me to pay for an assessment of whether it can be cleaned and also depreciate the value of any payout, Ashtons want nothing to do with it,[content removed], I'd seriously suggest looking elsewhere, this has had to be escalated to the Insurance Ombudsman, save yourself the stress!
Glad we chose Ashtons! – We had Ashtons move our furniture into their storage pending settlement on a new property and thought all we had to do was wait out the settlement period in temporary accommodation. The settlement kept being deferred through no fault of our own and the situation became increasingly stressful as we dealt with solicitors and kept having to extend… Read more
or change temporary accommodation. All the time, we were in regular touch with Ashtons as we tried to identify available dates for furniture to come out of storage, assuming a new settlement date could be relied upon. Ashtons were understanding of our situation and our dealings with the staff was the one strand of sanity in what was otherwise an unsettling extended period of over 3 months before we finally were able to move into our new home. From the receptionist at Ashtons to the admin staff and removal crews, we enjoyed professional and helpful service at all stages, that included their added assistance to provide separate invoicing for our additional costs should we have gone down the road of needing to take legal action to recover costs incurred subsequent to the first default on settlement date. We can only be thankful that we chose Ashtons to help us with our move and the unexpected stress that our move entailed.
Amazing service – I just moved from Brisbane to Melbourne and I used Ashtons removals service to transport my 1 bedroom apartment furniture. After doing an extensive search and coming across many removalist services, I decided to go with them. Why? Well, they have very good reviews compared to other companies. Also, after requesting many quotes, and getting… Read more
outrageous prices, I got Ashtons' which was pretty fair compared to the others and the time they take to deliver your things. On the day of the pick up (Thursday), they were at my place exactly at the time they said they were going to arrive. The 3 guys (sorry, I can't remember their names) were amazing! They came and took all of our stuff from our level 9 apartment to the loading docks in ~ 1 hour, even the building manager was impressed! We tried to help but they told us to sit and relax, that it was their job. Our things arrived in Melbourne on the following Wednesday, and again they arrived at the arranged time. The 2 guys were also amazing! They did everything in no time! Everything was in perfect condition! We were very worried about some fragile items, but they got here in one piece and working properly. I am so glad we went with Ashtons removals and I would not hesitate to hire their services again. Thank you!!

Unbelievably stress free – Our move was over a short distance, involving a 5 bedroom, 2 study, 3 living areas, 2 story home with some very heavy furniture pieces upstairs. Everything went into storage for a week. Could not have gone better. Super punctual and efficient at both ends of the job, (thanks also to Di, so quickly assessed) the team were absolutely fabulous.… Read more
Nicest, most professional guys with a super organised project leader. Nothing was too much trouble to eliminate MY stress levels. Well planned...made a smooth process. I genuinely looked forward to seeing them all again when it was time to move into new house. Was an exciting and easy day. We took out insurance on major pieces, tvs, fridge, washing machine etc. Not a mark on anything. No hesitation to use Ashtons again and recommend to everyone.
Thoroughly recommend – A move made easy. 85 cartons plus furniture from a house to high rise unit all done in 6 hours. No hassles, friendly efficient crew. Would highly recommend to anyone moving.
Exceptional Service – We used Ashtons for the first time in November of last year and it was a tremendous experience. From the first appointment to price the job to the completion and clean up the levels of communication and customer service could not be faulted. The guys who moved us on the day were incredibly hard working and went out of their way to help make it a… Read more
very smooth process. We would use them again in a heartbeat (the service is expensive but worth every penny).
Negative reviews
Disappointing and not very helpful – We moved from Carrara to Hope Island and although the removalists were pleasant enough, they were not very helpful. They arrived on time, took 2 hours to load the van but surprisingly took over 4 hours to unload, due to numerous breaks! In all our previous moving experiences it has always taken longer to load than unload. We asked if they would… Read more
help my wife and I assemble our 6 foot bed and were told quite bluntly that if Ashtons didn't dismantle the unit then they can't reassemble. My wife has arthritis in her hands, we are in our mid 60's and the bed requires at least 2 people to assemble. The 6ft mattress is very heavy and cumbersome. Needless to say, we were not impressed and this is the first time in 20 moves that we did not provide a tip.
We will not be using Ashtons again in the future and would not recommend their service. Very disappointing all round.
Fantastic – They were brilliant. As this was a third party removal of a small load, Ashtons staff were tireless in their efforts to make sure this all worked well for all the parties involved. I was so impressed with the dedication of their staff especially Bindy, but everyone did a great job from start to finish. Thank you.
Be aware of those hidden cost – 1. States in contract but wasn't highlighted by sales that free delivery from where depot is to where you are in which case I was charged additional. 2. Bought delivery insurance but that not valid for 60 days which means if your stuff n storage then final delivery from depot to your home want be covered! Very tricky 3. Customer service was… Read more
great when they try to sell and becomes nightmare when it comes to delivery. And they don't believe you will move again hence why they don't care!
Don't think I'd recommend this company to anyone!
Hidden cost, bad services

Hassle free move :-) – The whole process was seamless and hassle free from start to finish. The team were polite, happy, caring, on time and very professional.

neighbours driveway due to my driveway being long, steep with lots of overhanging branches. My neighbour even complimented the team on how respectful caring and courteous they were towards her.

Excellent service from beginning to end – We moved out of a 5 bedroom house and had Ashtons place entire contents into storage for 10 months. They then delivered the contents to our new residence.

Furniture move with ashtons – 6 bedroom home with expensive furniture and a baby grand piano. I have used Ashtons to move my piano for over 20 years. Always a perfect move. Local move . All on time Very reliable, polite blokes and efficient. Would def use them again. The quoting system was hood as well and they invoiced for what they quoted. Very happy with the move.
Great Move - Stress Free – We moved our mother from her house into our house as she has Alzehemiers. The two removalists on the day Brenton & Jarred were nothing but professional - they packed the truck quickly and then packed all the furniture which is mainly antiques into the area we had available in half a lounge room in our house. They completed the job in a few hours.… Read more
Ashton's were the only company that provided us with a quote all others that we contacted did not return email or phone call to give us a quote.
Would use Ashton's again without a second thought.
Stress Free Removalists – We moved from a 3 bedroom Villa to a 3 bedroom unit over a distance of 20 kms. Removalists told us they would be there at 7.00 am and they were! All furniture, cartons, plants were delivered without any breakages or scratches! This was the 4th time we had used Ashtons and that speaks for itself.
High-quality removalists – The guys from Ashtons were professional, on-time, efficient and careful with our property. They're more expensive than some of the others we looked at, but you get what you pay for in our experience.
Above and beyond – 3 bedroom home, large kitchen dining family and formal lounge are. Lots of heavy statuary and on top of that they had to move a bedroom suite from the place we were moving to. No problems and also took furniture etc to out storage unit. Great teamwork and professionalism.
First move in 20 years – Moving from a 3 bedroom house to an apartment was huge but it couldn’t have been smoother. The movers were efficient & experienced. They were extremely helpful. I’d recommend Ashtons if you want a safe, punctual & cost effective move.
Legends! – Ashtons saved me at short notice when the removalists I booked failed to turn up Turned up within 2 hours of booking and did the job in super fast time.
Excellent service – Excellent service, moved to an apartment the guys were on time and did a great job. I can recommend them and would use Ashtons again. I was a bit concerned about getting a 2.4 meter tv unit to the 7 floor but they have no trouble doing it
better than i imagined – First time using a removalist and wow! they exceeded my expectation. we did originally shop like most people too but felt extremely comfortable with Ashtons. the fact they even came around to quote i was pleased to know the quote wouldn't change upon completion and that we would be stung with extra fees. the boys were fantastic, everything… Read more
