Six Brothers Removalists

Michael and Martin were awesome removalists. They worked super efficiently and did not complain. They took direction well and were very sociable and easy to chat to.
The worst experience of my life. I should have read other reviewers' comments before engaging them. It would have saved me a lot of headaches today. Reading Syd Nair’s review was like reading about our own experience; the similarities are deeply concerning. We provided a detailed inventory of everything that needed moving for an office of 150sqm.… Read more
However, Six Brothers Removalists arrived with a truck far too small for a commercial move. They also failed to bring suitable moving blankets to protect our boardroom TV, so it had to be left behind for us to move ourselves, along with two other ute-loads of our own computers and monitors (that we listed for them). During the job, they disappeared for 90 minutes while my husband waited on site at the pick-up. They then told us that they would have to do the job in multiple trips. They then tried to charge us for 12 hours straight, with no time deducted for breaks, despite taking regular cigarette breaks and a long lunch. When I disputed being charged for that time, the crew’s limited English made it extremely difficult to communicate and resolve the issue. I called the office expecting help. Instead, they threatened me, saying they “knew where I lived and worked”, and that they would find me, and that they would chase the outstanding balance. We should have gone to the Police. They agreed to $2,000 to finalise the work. They then took us to court seeking more than another $1,600 for the move, well above what they tried to extort from us on the day. I’ll be taking this to NSW Fair Trading and the ACCC to protect others from these predatory operators. I have moved many times over the years and never had such a poor experience with any other removalists. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere; they are not trustworthy and should not be in business, so do not trust them with yours.
Unresolved $400 overcharge for non-existent inventory & unperformed work As a repeat customer who has completed four moves with Six Brothers Removalists, my recent experience has been deeply concerning. On Work Order #841422, I was billed $250 for shrink-wrapping items that were never moved (including a couch, fridge, and washing machine that… Read more
did not exist on the move).
On a move earlier in the month (#841431), an unperformed $150 shrink-wrapping package was added.
On September 24, senior management formally acknowledged these issues and approved a full $400.00 refund.
Despite written assurances that payment would take 3–5 business days, and further promises that it would be transferred on October 2, no refund or remittance advice has been received.
I am now escalating this matter through NSW Fair Trading.

Six Brothers Removalists consistently delivers great service with an excellent team. I hope they continue valuing both their employees and customers. Show reply
Terrible experience with this removalist. The subcontractors they sent were unreliable and unprofessional. They worked very slowly, took multiple smoke breaks, and spent more time chatting than moving our belongings. At times, they disappeared for long periods, and I found them just standing at the back of the truck. It took them a total of 7… Read more
hours to complete the move, despite this only being a 2-bedroom unit.
During the move, our sofa was scratched, our coffee table was damaged, our fridge had multiple dents, and even our bed foam was scratched. Luckily, we had purchased a protective cover from Bunnings, but they still managed to damage it.
Overall, the service was extremely unprofessional and not worth the money we paid. Avoid using them if they rely on subcontractors.
Tom and the boys!! Great job! Fast, efficient, careful, friendly and moved us from a 3 bedroom house to an apartment and didn’t mind the stairs. Highly recommend. Show reply
I had an excellent experience with this removalist company to move from Garage to small size Garage From the initial admin process to the final box being unloaded, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The team leader was exceptionally organised, and the crew was both friendly,helpful and efficient time management. They did a… Read more · 1
brilliant job of strategically packing the truck, which gave us much more space than expected. Now I can set up a table for my sorting use during my free time. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
I recently used 6 Brothers Removalists for my move from Roseville to Waitara, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I had a 2-bedroom place with bathroom and lawn equipment, and the team handled everything thoroughly and smoothly. They wrapped all my items carefully, and nothing was damaged during the move. Even though the entry and exit… Read more · 1
points at both properties weren’t ideal, the team managed it really well without any issues. The whole move took around 7 hours, and they were patient throughout—removing and reassembling furniture, asking me exactly how I wanted things set up, and even helping me put some boxes together.
The truck was in great condition, and they didn’t waste any time. Overall, an excellent experience—I’d highly recommend 6 Brothers Removalists for anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and efficient moving service.

Move was for a 2 bedroom unit. Late arrival with a supervised truck fit for a 5 level commercial building. Delays then sending out correct size truck. Damaged couch, dining table and other items. Scratched up walls in move. Avoid at all cost
Follow-up · No compensation offered, the owner called and asked me to remove the review. My view is if it's your business then employ the right people who care about your reputation.

Very professional service, from the initial call to the completion of the job was fast and efficient with regular communication. Highly recommend. The job was transporting heavy office furniture to 3 locations.
Very happy with the service from Six Brothers Removalists (SBR). They were able to organise my moving within a very short time-frame and the delivery guys did an absolutely incredible job considering the difficult situation in an apartment complex. Highly recommend SBR. Show reply

Absolutely Horror Company based off family's experience - They just take advantage of people. Dropped boxes, damaged items, charged extra on top and wasted time. No moral code and will never use them.
Hi Michael, We’re truly sorry to hear… Read more
I booked 2 trucks with 4 men, Only 1 truck and 2 Men arrived. Left many stuff behind saying It does not fit (even after 2 trips). Already mentioned in the inventory list for 25 Big boxes, None of the stuff weighs more than 40 kgs, but still was charged additional for heavy items. No proper details on how to pay the remaining amount upon completion of work. I was forced to pay whatever the movers asked, that too to his personal account.

If I could give them 0 stars I absolutely would. Said they would call before coming they did not, spent more time in their truck then they did moving my belongings, cancelled the job not even an hour into the move, company calling me for payment???? The job wasn't even half completed at this stage yet I was being told I had to pay already? 2 men… Read more
proceeded to stand around in my house chatting on their phones instead of actually doing the job, spent more time in their truck on their phones doing nothing, tried to drop my mattress over my balcony even after I told them how expensive it was, got all my belongings including the mattress stuck in the only lift in the building which resulted in more time for them sitting around doing nothing, more interested in asking me if I was married to obviously take advantage of me, by this stage they had been in my unit for over 4 hours still not even half finished, I myself ended up carrying my own belongings down and out to their truck which is completely shocking, I am paying them to do a service not the other way around, took the longest route during peak hour traffic for a 2km distance for the move, overpriced, rude, no one wanted to talk to me about the terrible experience I had endured, I was visibly upset tried contacting them for support during the move, did not care for anything that actually happened, no sympathy, took them over 6 hours for a 1 bedroom apartment to move 2km's away. Absolutely disrespectful taking advantage of a paying customer that basically did their job for them, threatened me at the end of the job saying they were not leaving my house until payment was made then tried keeping my belongings in their truck to ensure but luckily i'm not stupid and went out and collected them before they could steal them, lots of items missing aswell, I was quoted something completely different they never provided an invoice at that time so they were just throwing random numbers out at that stage, told me I had to pay them cash which I did not agree to, purporsely wasted time all day to ensure I would have to pay them more than what was originally agreed upon, bombarded with phone calls from random men afterwards. Basically have ended up begging them for a part refund for weeks after the move because of the terrible experience which I am absolutely entitled to, upon reading previous reviews I would say they will try and dispute that so they get the money back i'll wait to see on that one. Would absolutely NEVER use this company unless you want to make your move 1000% times more stressful and harder than it needs to be.

VIDEO TO PROVE THEM IT WAS GOOD CONDITION BEFORE THEY TOUCH, otherwise they don’t care about your complaint, specially after take your money.
I contracted Six Brothers Removals in 2020 and had no complaints. However, my recent experience with them was DISAPPOINTING. During this move, they showed little care for my furniture. When they attempted to move my three-seater sofa, they initially tried to fit it into the lift without removing the legs, only to realize it wouldn’t fit. I was not present to witness this process, but then Sam came to ask for a bag to keep the legs together so they wouldn’t get lost, which I did.
As they continued to move my other furniture, I noticed Sam was spending excessive time organizing the truck, particularly while he was loading two side tables. Meanwhile, Tim was disassembling my bed. It took them 15 minutes to leave my old apartment and head to my new one, even though we left at the same time. Once we arrived, they took their time unloading and assembling the furniture.
After the move, I didn’t have time to organize my belongings. Eight days later, when I went to move my sofa, I discovered scratches on the wood and one of the legs was broken and scratched. Upon inspecting it closely, I found that a screw was broken. I sent an email to Six Brothers explaining the situation, and their response was, “I’ve reviewed your photos and understand your concerns about how the sofa was handled. However, I’ve attached photos taken by our removalist on the day, prior to moving your items, which show that some damage to the sofa legs was present before we commenced the service.” (Last two photos)
The photos they provided showed damage to the leg taken in the corridor near the lift, and the damage on the side of the sofa was taken in the lobby of my building. The flooring in those photos was not the light grey of my apartment, which suggests the damage likely occurred when they were trying to fit the sofa with the legs still attached. I questioned why they didn’t take a photo of my sofa before moving it.
In response to my concerns, Six Brothers stated, “If you’re able to provide clear photos or video showing the good condition of your items before our team started the move, I can look into this further for you. Kind Regards, Kara | Six Brothers Team.”
Would you trust a company that doesn’t take responsibility for damages caused during their service?
Additionally, I noticed a few minor issues worth mentioning for anyone considering this company.
When they arrived, they were unhappy with the parking spot I chose and suggested I park about 100 meters away which is NO PARKING . They insisted that could be a better spot to parking, but I have to sign a disclaimer on my phone stating I would cover any fines incurred, which I refused to Parking on NO PARKING.
When it came to disassembling my bed, they asked if I had an automatic drill, which I lent them. I believe this tool is essential for professional removalists, but I didn’t mind lending it.
They didn't wrap my sofa or any fabric parts of my bed, even though they advertised that they would. As a result, my sofa and parts of my bed got stained, which is very disappointing.
Also, they left my tallboy unwrapped.
While these may seem like minor issues, I am particularly frustrated with how they handled the damage to my sofa. I will never hire this company again and cannot recommend them. I believe there are more reliable removalists available in the They didn't wrap my sofa or any fabric parts of my bed, even though they advertised that they would. As a result, my sofa and parts of my bed got stained, which is very disappointing.
