The Moving Man

Double the trouble! – I obtained a quote online for a 4 x2 move 10-15kms away from my current address. I did my homework and looked at reviews and was happy to pay the highest quote because of the excellent reviews. However I have never ever been mistreated the way I was today by this company. Stay clear is my advice unless you like them turning up and hour and a half… Read more

early, rude attitudes, like it was my fault I wasn't quite ready for them and then declaring that because I had animals they did not want to do the job as they didn't want to get sick from my animals and that I would need to find another company to do the job. This on the day of my move! I had rabbits and dogs to move but the small hypoallergenic dogs I have were outside and the rabbits were isolated in a bedroom which the movers didn't have to enter. After I finished packing the last few boxes I was about to transport my animals to the new house and be back in time for the movers but they didn't care and just left. I was dumbfounded. My cleaner had just arrived and witnessed the whole thing. She too could not believe what she was hearing. The two removalist a also claimed they were not told I would need a bed dismantled or the size of the move. They told me they didn't get a brief from their manager. when I spoke to the manager who had confirmed the quote and moving details he said they do get a brief. He knew of what had occurred before I contacted him and he has zero empathy or care for the predicament I was now in. I offered for him to attend my premises and check it out for himself. He said he would speak to the guys again and get back to me. In the meantime I got on to other companies to check their availability. Then the manager rang me back and said he has arranged two of his other drivers to come around the same time as the original booking with a 9 tonne truck. Big enough to handle the size of my move. However when the new removalist turned up they had a 3 tonne truck. The guys were from a different company and I was confused about why they had come as I didn't realise the manager had contacted another company to attend. A heads up would have been helpful. The new guys were nice but I turned them away as it would have taken 6 trips to get the job done. No way. Long story short I was very disappointed with this company and would advise anyone else to be aware of my experience and consider if this is something you want to experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and CONGRATULATIONS to Frank and his Moving Men for the two faultless moves they have done for us this year. Our first move came at short notice as our house sold earlier than expected and our new apartment was not ready. This move, which required detailed coordination to deliver certain furniture to two separate locations,… Read more

with lots more to go to storage, was completed with exemplary grace, care and efficiency by Tristan and Neil. When our apartment did become available two months later, it was just a matter of asking Frank, the original, ever-obliging Moving Master, to retrieve the items in storage, to pick up certain items from the above-mentioned two locations and then to deliver everything to our new apartment. Again, the friendly Tristan and his co-worker David did an excellent job and we are most thankful that nothing was scratched or broken in the whole process. A wonderful result and many thanks to Frank and his Moving Team for a job well done. The price was right too!

My 34th move; The Moving Man is in my Top 3 of all time – I had moved house 33 times in 33 years before I hired The Moving Man to do my 34th - and final - house move in December 2021. To say they had alot to live up to is an understatement. I've seen it all and had it all, over four continents - the good, average, thoroughly bad, and absolutely woeful. Having read the reviews, I felt confident it would… Read more

be a good move. And it was, in the end. But it was a stressful day that did not need to be - and it had nothing to do with the guys that did the move, or me. It's just how moving goes sometimes.

The job involved Day One of packing up one very large (large!) truck in Perth metro with 4 storage units of goods and furniture, overnighting it at the depot, and then Day 2 driving the truck to regional WA to offload and unpack, before the truck drove back (empty) to Perth.

Day 1 didn't start well, with an estimated start time blowing out by 2.5 hours, meaning there was only 2.5 hours left in the day to do an entire pack up into a truck of 4 large storage units before the storage facility closed. The guys turned up late and looked as deflated as me - they had come from a morning move where the clients had underestimated the size and amount (to save money), meaning the job ended up being way bigger than quoted, and being the good people they are, the guys didn't leave until it was done. That then had a ripple effect on the next job - me - leaving us all with half the quoted time to get the job done. If you've done as many moves as I have, you will know that rushing a pack and load is a disaster. The goods end up broken on the other end, which defeats the whole purpose. Insurance just doesn't cover the blood, sweat, tears and stress. I had booked the required time and Karyn has allocated the required time, but as it turned out, the job before me screwed all that up. Thanks alot!

When the guys finally arrived at the storage facility we had a 10 minute chat. How was this going to get done without anything being broken? How were we going to get this packed without rushing? Who is going to pay any overtime fees at the storage facility if they had to stay open late (not me, that's for sure). Etc. Etc. Etc. The guys reassured me they would be as careful as if it were their own stuff. No rushing. And they would get it done AND pay any overtime fees if needed.

So we got to work. And work they did. It was a very hot day. We had to go between four different storage units. We had to pack fragile and large bulky items, heavy items, small items, lots of tubs, and wall art. Rugs, lamps and shades. And so on. The load was PERFECT. The guy in the truck was very experienced and had clearly done it before - nothing was squashed, nothing was damaged far as I could see.

The last item went into the truck on Day 1 at exactly closing time - no overtime fees or charges, and everyone was happy with the load. We were happy too. The mood was actually pretty good, considering the shitstorm we had started with.

Day 2 - the truck drove to regional WA as scheduled and on time. Arrived exactly on time. We unpacked from the truck all day, and the guys unpacked boxes in the house, placed furniture in rooms, and even assembled a couple of pieces for me. All in all, it was an EXCELLENT move. NOTHING - not ONE THING - was broken. How's that? I don't think any of the prior 33 moves achieved that status, so kudos to the guys, their attitude, their work ethic, and their willingness to get the job done properly. That truly does not happen often.

I can't say it is the BEST move of all time for me, but it's definitely in my TOP THREE. Having moved across the USA, Australia, China and Singapore, I can honestly say that The Moving Man has something special. They don't always get it right and stuff does happen - but they make it right to make the move happen. Money can't buy that.

I'm not moving again (!) but you are, and I can honestly say - give these guys a try. If you treat them like human beings with respect and dignity, they give it all back to you and more.

Thank you Byron and team for a great move. I appreciate it.

Could not have asked for a better removalist. On time, so professional with the two men that moved me . Brilliant service, personable. Frank is also amazing to deal with. Not that I hope to have to move again in the near future but should I do, The Moving Man would be my first contact. 5/5.

Myself and my family have used the Moving man on 5 different occasions for whole house moves. Cannot recommend them enough. Franks staff have always been polite and were well skilled at moving all of our furniture. They were punctual every time. They didn’t muck around - very hard workers , which was great because it saved us all money. They took… Read more

great care of all of our belongings. Frank has a storage facility that I used for 12 months at a much better rate than the big storage companies. My belongings were kept safe and were delivered in exactly the same condition that I had seen them last. My family and I would 100% recommend and use the moving man again.

Frank is THE MAN .! What a star .. rescued me out of a sticky client situation and saved the day. Instant service and first class team. Will only ever use The Moving Man in Perth . Cannot recommend this Company high enough. Show reply

A streamline move with efficient, friendly removalists. Nothing was too much trouble for them. On time and with a smile. I will definitely recommend The Moving Man to everyone. Finally a company that knows how to give good service. Well done guys.

Second time I’ve used this company, first time they juggled to fit my tight deadline with little notice, 5 stars !! Second time move was completed in half the time I expected, just can’t say enough good things about this company, their staff from Angela to Jason and others absolutely, top class. No stress … don’t hesitate just book them ❤️

Moving house – Extremely happy with the service. Original booking had to be cancelled and moved to a later date (today 20/12). Frank the owner was very accomadating in arranging this. The two men who moved my household items - Stephano & Lucas, were very professional. They didn't mess around, yet they took care so as to not inflict any damage. Would use this company again. Kudos to Frank, Stephano & Luca!

Our Moving Experience – We needed a removalist to transport our furniture etc. from Ellenbrook to Bullsbrook so contacted Frank, The Moving Man. He was very easy to deal with and his expertise and advice was invaluable. Unfortunately, due to complications with our settlement, we could not proceed with the move on the planned day and Frank did not have a truck available… Read more

for the changed date. Frank was very understanding and referred us to another removalist company who we contracted and who also did a marvelous job on short notice. I have no hesitation in recommending The Moving Man when you need a removalist.

Taking the stress out of moving – We have moved twice in the past 12 months and called on The Moving Man on both occasions to transport our possessions safely. We moved from country to metro then metro to metro. The teams who carried out the moves were professional, pleasant and very obliging. The cost was very fair and everything arrived intact, not a scratch. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank and his teams to our family and friends. Mike and Sandra Helena Valley Show reply

Ideal for single women – If you have loads of male friends who wont get up to help you move on short notice, ring Frank. The Moving Man. Needed a small, fussy job done the next day. He organized it. Muscles, charm, courtesy AND on time. Cannot speak too highly of him and his company.

Exceptional service with a smile! – I had a wonderful experience moving house thanks to the Moving Man and his crew. Frank was friendly and helpful and went out of his way to fit my job in at short notice. The crew were lovely - friendly, efficient and organised. They took great care of my furniture and did everything with a smile. I would highly recommend the Moving Man. They provided exceptional service from beginning to end!

Stress free move – Thank you to a wonderful team. Move to my new apartment went really smoothly, even had to drag a large couch up three flights of stairs! Thank you. Mary-Ann Show reply

Thank you for saving the day! – I had booked through a different removalist, but when they failed to turn up, I called around frantically for another company. Frank the owner went over and above calling any company he had a connection with in the hopes someone could assist. Sadly, due to the time of the year, no one was available. So he was able to organise his contract company… Read more

to assist me on a Sunday. I am forever grateful and when I move again, I’ll be using Frank and his team. Thanks again.

Awesomeness! – It was so good to speak to Frank who guided me through exactly what I needed and quoted me accurately! Moving is stressful any time and The Moving Man took all the stress away. On moving day, Stefano & Drupchu were totally professional, incredibly friendly, and very competent - the way the stacked the truck was a work of art! I couldn't have… Read more

asked for better guys - nothing was too much to ask. I wouldn't go anywhere else now - if you want the job done properly, call The Moving Man, a proud Western Australian company!

Marvellous Moving Man! – After researching a few Perth removalists I decided to chose The Moving Man to support a local family business and also given it's long successful track record. I arranged my move with Frank who was very helpful and obliging. The move was not straightforward with pick-up from the 4th floor of an apartment complex to the 2nd floor of an apartment… Read more

in another complex. The two removalists (Stefan from Milan and a young man from Bhutan) worked tirelessly non-stop for over 7 hours to get the job done -- no stops or rest! All in all I was very satisfied with The Moving Man and would not hesitate in recommending them for your next move. Bruce.

The Moving Man - made it easy! – Great service and advice from the first call. I needed to move from a 4 bedroom home to a 3 bedroom town house. The crew Carlo and Brodie turned up on time and got to work straight away. They took care of everything and showed great respect and care of both the home and my belongings. Any challenges were quickly addressed and communicated. Great… Read more

THE MOVING MAN is a genuine business who keeps their word and truly delivers on the day! – Our move involved clearing a deceased estate with furniture and various heavy items needing to be moved from upstairs to downstairs, as well as two local drop offs at 2 different locations. The Moving Man team worked out all the logistics for a smooth and efficient move of all items. They kept their word with all estimated times of arrival and… Read more

completion. There was no damage, just courteous and genuine good service throughout the moves. Very happy with their work and a very fair price considering how hard the men worked on a hot day. Would highly recommend The Moving Man to all.

Smooth, professional move – Thanks to Tristan and Martin for helping us move today. All went smoothly and they worked well as a team. We were moving some of our things to a storage unit locally, 3 hours was just the right length of time.

Wow! What a Team – Nick and Shane were amazing! Nick previously moved me to my last 4 bedroom home, I was so impressed I used them for my next move. Awesome job Moving Man. Show reply

There rates were outstanding. Many thanks guys :) highly recommended ! Show reply
