Boss Removals Williams Landing Pending court action. Horror experience $3150 for 23 km move food and other items ruined refused to unload truck unless I paid outrages amount.
Facts My first move as a 4.5/5 experience. The second one is 1/5. I am writing this post because in Google reviews - there are no negative reviews which tells me that they maybe deleting them… check product review for real reviews. They are mixed -depending on who you they send. Facts: In July 2014 I purchased a New Bosch washing machine. Moved… Read more
May 2025. Had to replace Washing machine because when Top removals “kindly” installed it- they left the moving brackets on the back. When I used the machine for the first time after the move, it sounded like the machine nearly “ exploded” . When I initially advised them they said Their guys did not place the moving parts on!
The question is why wouldn’t they ? Is this not a part of good, quality removal service. I certainly don’t know how to do place moving arms on. I handed them the parts.
When I sent them (1) my original purchase invoice dated July 2024 (2) the photo of moving arms on the machine which the repair washing machine technician I engaged later - had to remove. (2)the bill from an appliance repair technician who advised the washing machine drum had been damaged due to the moving arms having been left on by Top removals- their response was “As per our T & C’s Our guys are not plumbers so it’s on you- the customer” I did two moves with them, the first one went very well, the second one, I had to purchase a new washing machine. I Do not recommend them. Accidents happen. That’s what insurance is for. Do not use them- their attitude was sad and disappointing. Do use them, your appliances are at risk and they will install your items- yet accept no liability. Sad. They will reply to this review and say I waited a couple of months to advise them. This is not true. I advised them as soon as the appliance company sent me an invoice - Aprox two weeks. They denied responsibility so I sent them a second email two weeks later. Your choice - your risk to use this company. The day the sent me their final e-mail in July saying it wasn’t their responsibility - I had to purchase a new machine at my own cost.
I am doing this review so that Top removals do not say they will install appliances and then if they don’t work - say it’s not their fault. All other aspects of the move went well. Furthermore in regards to my experience with the second move - I would recommend they place an experienced Removalists with a bit so experienced Removalists.
I recently used Top Removal again and had another great experience. Huge thanks to Baptiste and Kyle for their hard work moving my furniture and plants into my new home. They were very professional, worked really well as a team, and got the job done quickly and efficiently. The truck was awesome — nice and big, everything fit in one load which… Read more
made the move even smoother.
This is my second time using their service, and both times have been excellent. Highly recommended!

Avoid Top Removals – Avoid Top Removals if you value your furniture and personal belongings. I had an awful experience with this company and cannot recommend them to anyone. I was quoted a maximum of 4 hours for my move, especially as it was only 3 minutes away, but I ended up having to pay for 5 hours, even after they initially tried to charge me for 6.5 hours.… Read more
Despite my efforts to resolve this, I was ignored multiple times and only contacted to demand an extra $250 to ‘investigate’ my claim, even though I provided photos of the damage and informed the removalists directly, who also took photos themselves.
On top of this, my furniture was damaged due to careless handling, and my books were ruined after being exposed to rain. The removalists were friendly, but they clearly were not trained to handle items properly. Ropes were placed directly on the furniture, causing scratches, and no protective covers were used. I paid a premium price for what should have been a professional service, but instead, I had the worst moving experience I have ever had.
Save yourself the headache and choose another company. Proceed with caution.
Awful service with free fridge damage – Showed up 5 hours late, moved very slowly and dented my brand new fridge in multiple places. Offered me a ‘gesture of goodwill’ of $100 or wanted me to pay $250 to have it fixed. Don’t recommend - literally use anyone else. Not much else could have gone wrong
The guys arrived on time and were really efficient – We had a pleasure moving with José & Nathan, The guys arrived on time and were super efficient. We've moved from an apartment to a townhouse, and they've made the move much easier (as much as it can be, especially during this time) Will hire them again and I definitely recommend their services.
In-depth reviews
Do not use. I had a dreadful experience with Top Removals and would strongly urge others to steer clear. What should have been a straightforward move – a small townhouse just 2km away – turned into an exhausting 10+ hour ordeal. Despite having three men on the job and a 12 T truck, the process was painfully slow and completely inefficient. There… Read more
were also significant language barriers, which made communication difficult and led to repeated confusion and mistakes throughout the day.
To make matters worse, several items went missing, including important cords and accessories. When I raised this with the team, no one followed up or took responsibility – I had to chase them myself to even have the issue acknowledged. Still, no apology or genuine concern was ever shown.
I also paid extra for their unpacking service, which was an utter waste of money. The two people who arrived were clearly uninterested – they threw items randomly into cupboards and drawers and left within a short time, with no care or attention to detail.
To top it off, I was given conflicting and misleading information about box removal. I was told it would be included, only to find out later that it wasn’t. Again, no one apologised or made any effort to resolve the issue.
The whole experience was chaotic, overpriced, and completely unprofessional. Top Removals market themselves well, but don’t deliver on even the basics. I would never use them again – and I strongly advise others to go elsewhere.
**Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!** ‘Daniel Boys’ – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!** ‘Daniel Boys’ I recently used Top Removals for my move, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I reached out for a quote to the final piece of furniture being placed in my new home, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The team was incredibly efficient,… Read more
punctual, and respectful of my belongings. They took extra care to ensure that nothing was damaged, and they worked quickly without cutting corners. Their attention to detail really stood out, making a typically stressful process feel seamless and stress-free.
Communication was clear throughout, and the staff were friendly and approachable, always ready to accommodate my requests. I was especially impressed with how they navigated tight spaces and tricky staircases with ease.
If you're looking for a removal company that combines expertise, reliability, and excellent customer service, look no further than Top Removals. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again for any future moves!
Hard working – Last week we moved from Melbourne down to Sale. We have a 5 bedroom home, and with 5 kids, we have LOTS of stuff. We hired a 12t truck with 3 workers. I've had mixed experiences with removals in the past but these guys were excellent; hard working and friendly. It took 4 hours to load the truck, a 3 hour drive to Sale, and about 3 hours to unload.… Read more
It was 33 degrees, but the guys didn't stop. One thing to highlight, the quote you are given doesn't include GST. It's in the T & C's, which I had picked up, but with our move it still came in about $400 cheaper than another quote I had organised. Something else to note, if you have to travel a distance like we did, these guys will go until they finish the job. Another company who are members of the Association, told me that their employees can do a maximum of 12 hour days. While this is probably sensible, in our case the guys would've had to have stopped unloading and headed back to Melbourne and come back the next day. We just wanted the pain of moving all over with on the day! We chose the right truck too, because as we suspected from doing the online inventory, we had a couple of boxes that still couldn't fit, and had to go in the car.
Positive reviews
Top Removals are excellent in service reliability and price.We have used them twice to move and both times have had excellent teams this time it was Frenchmen Benjamin and Arthur couldn’t have asked for two better guys,polite, went out of their way to accommodate and were so careful in wrapping,carrying and stacking furniture in truck. Highly recommended Top Removals and will use them again with future moves.
Baptiste and Baris arrived this morning to pack up my apartment prior to moving. They did a fabulous job and were a pleasure to have in my home. Everything was carefully wrapped and professionally packed with great care. I would highly recommend them.
Thoroughly impressed – After a bit of shopping around, I decided on Top Removals for a recent move. The guys were quick, efficient and took great care moving my things compared to other companies I've used in the past. They are also well priced and had absolutely no dramas. Very lovely guys - I'm quite happy with the service and would highly recommend.

Negative reviews
The worst company ever seen. It was the worst from the beginning to the end with too much cost for me. They broke furniture and the bottom of the aluminium door which is also confirmed and seen by removalist guys at that time, but no good action so far. They asked me to send all these by email, and after sending a few email, and no response,… Read more
finally got response with some law and guidelines they had. Very unprofessional wrapping, unprofessional staff, and most furnitures unprotected and left on the ground and made lots of trouble for us to clean the mess that they did. Removalists too slow, most of the time in the back of truck and talking each other, and took too much time of over 10 hours for a small 3 bedroom house removals for a short distance of less than 15 minutes. Another worst part was paying double compared to other quotes I had from other companies.
The company took ten hours to move me one and a half blocks. They packed all my items five days before and yet they brought a truck that was too small. It had to be moved in two shifts. The movers seemed totally inexperienced. Took four hours to load one bed, one table, six chairs, one couch, two sideboards and 30 boxes. Took six hours to unload… Read more
in between constant cigarette breaks. Broke a valuable lamp. Even went to wrong address! It was the worst experience I’ve had in moving. My partners load ( similar size but different company) was unloaded two days later in ninety minutes. Company does not reply to calls or emails and has disabled Gooogle reviews. Be very, very wary about this company. I hate writing bad reviews and the staff who packed were professional but the move was terrible and follow up service very, very disappointing.
AVOID Melbourne Removal & Storage – This company don’t have Google presence to leave & read other reviews as they are not genuine and try and rip you off. The lady [Name Removed] who quoted was extremely nice and reassuring. They promised they dud not subcontract and had experiences staff. This was a lie. On the day, they brought a bigger truck than needed and said we had to pay… Read more
more. They were slow & lazy… it’s was one guys first time and he got tired quickly. They tried overcharging by 2 hours. The lady in the office [Name Removed] was horrible and rude and they all yelled at us. Terrible experience, NEVER TRUST THIS COMPANY. They don’t have a presence in Google for a reason. Don’t make the same mistake we did.

Fantastic service – I chose to use Top Removals a second time as my first experience was great. Juan and David did a great job. Professional, polite and hard working They made sure I was happy with everything and asked if I needed help with anything else before they left. Nothing was a problem. Would recommend
Definitely live up to their name! – These guys are fantastic and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to everyone I know. Gautier and Patrik were polite, courteous and so efficient. Really knew their stuff. Have to also give a shout out to Dione who was fantastic over the phone with quotes and questions. Will definitely use again!!!! Thanks guys!
Movers were great – Eduardo and Henry were absolutely fantastic, our stuff barely fit in the truck but they got it all in and nothing was damaged, they were fantastic.
Once again, PERFECT – Top Removals once again moved my 2br unit on the 4th floor up… As usual, quick, efficient, polite and NOTHING DAMAGED AGAIN (I have lots of high end equiptment and once again not a scratch… Many many many thx to Benjamin, Daniel and Martin for another great move….
Fantastic service from Jeremy – Based on online reviews we hired Topremovals to move the furniture from our 3 bedroom house to another 3 bedroom house in the same suburb. Jeremy and his assistant (young South American fellow) were both courteous, efficient and took great care with our possessions. They are also super strong as we had some very heavy furniture to move and they… Read more
managed with minimal fuss.
Its always a weird feeling letting strangers into your house to handle your possessions but I felt completely at ease with Jeremy and his assistant in charge.
Will 100% use them again for future moves and recommend them highly to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable moving company.
Fantastic crew, organised and careful – Moved from our three house on Monday about 20km away, Florian, Maurice & Jeremy we’re on time, very polite, worked hard, we’re well organised and super careful… really great guys.. Will definitely be calling Top Removal’s again next year when we move back in to the new house..

Exceptional Service! – This was the second time using Top Removals. Patrick and David were amazing. We moved from a four bedroom house to a 3 bedroom house in the same suburb. Getting everything in was like a game of tetris, which the guys excelled at. Very friendly, professional and took such good care of our things. Would use them again.
Genuinely awesome! – Very large 5 bedroom Bayside house moving 20 minutes way. Engaged Top Removals frankly because of the reviews. Found Nathan at the office exceptionally professional and reassuring. Kerryn and the lovely Sth American dude (name?) were sent out to check exactly what we had to move. Most was going local but another truckful was going interstate.… Read more
Overall they were pretty accurate but the 'guys" on the day were exceptional. Nothing was too hard for Jordan, David, Justin & Jeremy. All really fun but took significant care. Exceptionally well coordinated. Nothing was damaged in this roughly 10 hour job involving 2 trucks. Would definitely recommend.
Awesome work boys! – We recently moved from a three bedroom house to a four bedroom house within the same suburb. Eduardo and his team arrived on time and worked efficiently to complete the move within approximately three hours. I was a little nervous about the move, having some large furniture pieces but the boys were amazing, taking extra care and managing to… Read more
manoeuvre items with extra care. The total cost came in at just over half the price of a competitor’s quote! Thanks to Nathan too who was awesome on the phone and very helpful with information and answering questions! Highly recommend.
Fantastic Service – This was our 3rd time using Top Removals. Jeremy and Ethan were great. Moved everything from our 3 storage units into our 2 storey, 3 bedroom house. They were friendly, careful and considerate. Would use them again.
Fantastic experience – This was our first time using Top Removals (recommended to us by a friend) and we cannot speak highly enough of them. I'm sure we had the best team with Jordan & Jeremy, who helped us move a 15 minute drive away from a 3 bedroom townhouse to a 3 bedroom house. They arrived on time (they were actually a few minutes early) and finished the job on… Read more
time. Jordan & Jeremy were lovely, friendly, easy going and caring people who immediately made us feel like we were in good hands. They knew what they were doing, had it all under control and took great care of our possessions. I have already recommended them to a friend and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else. I'm not sure if we'll be moving for a long time but if we do, I will definitely be booking Top Removals Melbourne. Keep up the great service and a huge thanks to Jordan & Jeremy.
Moving is a breeze with top removals – I have used this company many times in the past - most recently yesterday. I had Jeremy, Jordan and Rey. All 3 boys made the move so easy. Nothing is ever too much. Thank you again boys !!
Easy from start to finish – We used Top Removals to pack our 3 bedroom house (right down to wrapping the cups!), to store all our belongings in their storage facility for 3 months and then to move them all in to our new house. Everything was easy, and the 3 men who packed and moved our things were relaxed, methodical and careful. I would recommend them and use them again. Special thanks to Jeremy, Jordan and Maurice for meticulously re-assembling our furniture too! Show details
Round 4 and still a winning service! A++++ – This is my 4th move with Top Removals. This time it was a small move of house furniture from Melbourne to Regional Victoria. The team arrived on time, swiftly and carefully packed the truck. They were ever so cautious with our furniture and they were so personable and easy to talk to which was great. They arrived at the new home with our… Read more
furniture and were so careful when they put the furniture in the brand new house. Being paranoid about the walls & doors being scratched they took their time and were so pedantic to ensure they were able to get things in without any damages. Thank you Top Removals for yet another successful move. On a side note, speaking with Bobby when arranging the booking was great as he was also the same person who did my last booking 5 years ago. Great to know you have fantastic staff still working with you.
Great experience – We moved from a 3 bedroom townhouse to a 2 storey home a few suburbs apart. Our quote was for an 8 tonne truck and 2 removalists. Our move started 50 minutes later than our allocated time frame of 1-3pm, however once Jeremy and Santiago showed up ( with an extra guy) everything was moved very efficiently and meticulously. Communication and care… Read more
of both our belongings and home were exceptional. Nothing was too difficult Thanks so much, Jeremy and Santiago were great
Very professional! – Top Removals came highly recommended by our local community hub. The boys, Jordan and Jeremy arrived on time in a truck bigger than Texas, prepared and ready to work! They were very polite, communicated well and more importantly, extremely careful! We had fresh paint and carpet in our new property and they relocated the entire contents of our house without leaving a single mark anywhere! Great lads, can't speak highly enough about their service!
Excellent service – The person who booked for me used Top Removals 3 times before with excellent service. Sergio, Victor and Eduardo performed a great job moving my house. They are very careful, treat my things with respect and are super friendly. I am very impressed. I will recommend them to anyone.
