[Content Removed]! Beware of these [Content Removed], they operate under multiple different business names and are not a legit moving company- will steal and /or damage items and demand extra money while holding items at ransom
Follow-up · Another “business” they run under is Royal Sydney Removals, they demanded thousands of dollars in ‘additional costs’ and I was without my belongings for 4 months and had to fight to have them returned at all
We were repeat customers, but never again. 1st time we moved from Sydney to Melbourne, everything went smoothly. But when we did a suburb move in Melbourne (<1km), we had a horrible experience with the 2 removalists + 50CBM truck. They refused to remove all our furniture and boxes, refused to clear both floors of the house, loaded only 70% of our… Read more
goods, did not fill the truck, and left 30% of our goods in the old house. Then they refused to offload onto the 2nd floor at the new house, did not want to place goods in the correct rooms, then HIJACKED and THREATENED to STEAL our white goods to blackmail us for full payment before completing the job. They abused my family, including my kids, at departure. We endured abusive and coercive behaviour with the support staff on the phone who only wanted to use the opportunity to make more money the following day - by asking us to spend twice as much to get the left-behind furniture and boxes out to our new house. I'll never use Hard & Fast again, and neither should you.

S C A M M E R S - PLEASE BE AWARE AND CAREFUL DO NOT USE THESE REMOVALISTS As NSW Fair Trading have warned consumers - there are removalists who insist on charging a higher rate AFTER loading half your items, and/or try to hold your items at ransom until you pay this exorbitant fee. Hard & Fast have done exactly this to us. This is a known S C… Read more
A M and it is a shame that Hard & Fast is now doing this to customers. After they turned up they loaded half our items and immediately demanded we agree to an "upgrade" fee. We refused and they continued to load saying they'd just complete the job for us as quoted and agreed.
After this, they then refused to unload and return our items until we paid the increased fee (hundreds of dollars more than originally agreed) at the end. They essentially threatened to take our items unless we did exactly as they asked.
As an aside, they are also incredibly slack with the work - slow and really reckless with customer's items. They damaged a number of items and have refused to engage us about it.
Edit: as was to be expected, the owner has thrown in their copy and paste reply to legitimate concerns from a customer. For the reader's consideration I also attach a choice selection of how they deal with real (i.e. not paid) reviews on Google maps. The sharp-eyed among you may notice a pattern.
THIS IS A KNOWN AND UNLAWFUL S C A M SPEAK TO NSW FAIR TRADING OR A SOLICITOR IF YOU HAVE HAD THESE PEOPLE DO THIS TO YOU. YOU MAY HAVE A CLAIM UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AT THE NSW CIVIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL.
FAKE FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank… Read more (+1 reply)

Lost our padlock so left belongings "secured" in storage locker with a piece of shrink wrap - pathetic – We used this firm for a move from Sydney to a Brisbane storage facility. This company lost the padlock we provided, but assured us they'd source another so when delivered our storage locker would be locked. They didn't. Instead used a piece of shrink wrap to 'secure' everything we own. We only found out as the storage facility rang us saying… Read more
something looked wrong, 10 hours after the delivery. The customer service team repeatedly gave mis-information despite CCTV footage and photos to prove otherwise.
Please don't make our mistake - use a company that protect your belongings like you would and don't provide misinformation. Too much at stake to rely on this outfit.
Hard workers and professional – The removalists from Hard and Fast Removals have been amazing in their assistance, in moving my household(2 bedrooms, Orange to Sydney) goods into storage. Polite, hard working and amazingly efficient. I would recommend these gentlemen to anyone looking for a fuss free removalist experience. Great job guys! They're packing skills were… Read more · 1
unbelievable. They managed to cram so much into a tidy and well ordered space. I really appreciated their time and effort.
Hard and fast THE BESTTT!!! – We moved a 4 bedroom home from Wetherill park in nsw to Carlton in vic, they were amazing! our items arrived today as scheduled and we couldnt be happier. The removalist as well as the staff in the office were all so helpful. thank you guys. Show reply

Highly recommend – The move team were amazing they took extra care of all my items and were so easy to communicate with. From start to finish it was a pleasure highly recommend hard and fast Removalist
Fast, precise and reliable – It’s the second time that my husband and I have used the service of Hard & Fast. We were already 100% satisfied the first time and we are confirming the same precise, fast and reliable score for our second move. They are very responsive from the staff in the office to the removalist and competitive price, especially for the sharing truck. Highly recommended!!!
TOP TIER – Our experience was excellent. Thanks to the entire team for helping me with our move. Everything was planned perfectly and it was a very smooth transition into our new home. Show reply
Negative reviews
Beware. Would NEVER use again – Do Not Use. They tried to take advantage to make more money in anyway possible, by changing the collection time to after hours or weekend where they charge extra. They do not care about the customer at all. They are VERY pushy... and it was probably the WORST customer service I have experienced in my life. I feel a bit sick to my stomach when I… Read more
think about how they treated us and I don't anyone else to have to go through that. - Charged an absurd amount of money - Rough packing - Intimidating Just all round a devastatingly bad experience. Do yourself a favour and find a different removalist company.
Hi Janet, Our records indicate that… Read more
Hard and not at all fast. Don’t move with Hard and Fast – We moved with this company in march 2022. They broke my computer monitor in the process and take no responsibility even though the damage is consistent with that of mishandling and the monitor was working fine the day before (I work from home so use the thing everyday). Their claims to insure the move are misleading in the way they are advertised… Read more
and they take no responsibility for damage caused by them in the move. Their office staff are rude, unhelpful and incompetent and think pasting inserts of poorly written T&Cs is providing a service. They claim a computer monitor is a white good as an example of their reach to cover themselves with T&Cs. I’ve applied for a tribunal hearing under the guidance of fair trading as hard and fast simply refuse to take any responsibility in rectifying the manner.
Their drivers also ask for cash in hand as apposed to legitimate payment and get pushy and annoyed when you don’t agree to do so. They are also inefficient in their move. They do a lot of standing around. A small 2 bedroom apartment took 2 people, 8+ hours to move 20kms away.
Take your business elsewhere. This company is a rort. Don’t believe the other reviews on google, they’re clearly fake given multiple people with different names post the same review with 5 stars. A pretty clear indication of this companies conduct and dodgy dealings!!
Don’t trust them! – I booked this company for my move in late March - moving a 1 bedroom unit 400m down the road. One of the two removalists who arrived was extremely ill (to the point they were vomiting and had an upset stomach regularly) and had no energy. We had already dismantled furniture (beds etc) and moved all of our boxes to our new place ourselves so it was… Read more
only a small amount of furniture and appliances to be moved. My husband even helped them unpack the truck at the other end yet they still charged us for the full 7 hours with the total coming to $1000. Everyone else around my area moving 1 bedrooms apartments (including all of their boxes) have taken no longer than 4 hours max. After seeing this on our community page yesterday I reached out to Hard and Fast to share my disappointment. They said I could only have the matter investigated if I had of contacted them within 1 week of the move (which is not in their T&Cs https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jRu_eYCmDXgYkR_toCbu28X_F3TsY20C/view)… and simply said it’s too bad oh but offered me 10% off my next move (I own so that’s no time soon plus I’d never use them again anyway). Don’t trust these guys.

Smooth and fast move – We moved from a 1 bed apartment in Canberra to a 1 bed apartment in inner Sydney. We were encouraged to upgrade the premium service (where we are the only customers using the truck) as we needed the specific time they were arriving in Sydney because our apartment is in a busy area and we needed to give notice to the building manager. This ended up… Read more · 1
being worth it as the movers also had to walk further than 25m to get to our places (which is normally an extra fee but is included in the premium package). Charbel and Mark arrived on time and only took 2 hours load the truck, including heavy items like a piano and large couch. They arrived in Sydney very quickly and took about 3 hours to unload the truck. I was worried about some of our furniture making it up the stairs/lift but they made it work. Overall, the move went smoothly and quickly and we would recommend this service.
Very happy with the service – Hard and Fast removals were very professional and lovely to deal with,we moved from Brisbane to Sydney from one bedroom and little storage unit on the way , no stress, thanks guys Show reply
hands down best removal company ever !! – Moving out can be stressful especially when its the first time moving to a different state. It was a sudden move and they managed to pop me on the day I requested for an affordable rate. Even though there was no time guarantee for a shared truck they worked around my time frame as I had restrictions with my building manager. All my items were wrapped and relocated with care. Thank you guys keep up the great work ! Show reply
Amazing service, did not disappoint at all! Quick & cost efficient also careful with all of my items, loved it! – I moved a couple of large items from my home in QLD to NSW. I had booked last minute and they managed to secure me a spot. They provided me with a timeframe the afternoon before my move and they were right on time, they loaded up my items carefully and quickly wasting no time. I was advised that they will give me a call before delivery. They… Read more · 1
called me the back the next day about an hour before arrival and they were right on time. They unloaded everything and placed it in my home wherever I advised. They were extremely friendly and careful, honestly made moving much less stressful for me which I appreciate a lot.

wonderful when dealing with all the stress of our move. It was a Sydney to Gold Coast move. We highly recommend them.
Excellent job from the entire team – Highly recommend! We shifted a four bedroom (approx 55 cubic metre) house from Sydney to Brisbane. Hard & Fast Removals were ALL excellent to deal with. Anna was great with helping us with a number of questions early on and getting everything locked in. The thing that stood out the most though was the removal teams on BOTH sides of the move. … Read more · 1
They were so respectful and took great care with our property, our belongings and made sure that we were comfortable with what was going on. I have moved countless times over the years and I would rate Hard & Fast up in the top 3 companies I've used and would absolutely use them again.
Hands down most professional removal company!! Will definitely recommend – I used Hard & Fast Removals for my move from Moorebank NSW to Miami in QLD. Making my booking was one of the easiest processes, the ladies were very polite and extremely helpful. The removalists on the other hand were the most kind and respectful boys! They were extremely careful and made sure everything was done and completed perfectly. Very very happy with the quality of service and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know! Thanks guys Show reply
