I requested quotes from 4 removalist/transport companies to move a large heavy wrought iron entrance door and side panel. I was time constrained and needed timely responses. I received 2 quotes, and although Transcorp's hourly rate was higher, there was no booking or call out fee such as requested from their competitor. Transcorp was in fact… Read more · 1
lower. One other never responded and the other continued corresponding looking for more details. I did not bother waiting for these two quotes and chose Transcorp for 2 reasons. 1) A professional, detailed and transparent quote. 2) A number of follow ups from a courteous and personable Sales Rep/Relocation Specialist named Lilianne.
On the day of the pickup, I was called by one of the 2 men stating that they were early. I responded that I was not far away. When I arrived at the pickup site, I was warmly greeted by 2 men. From pick up to drop off, the 2 men were awesome. The collaboration, teamwork and banter between us, including the owner of the item I bought from, his son and myself, was electric. We problem solved the challenge of moving an awkward and heavy pair of structures. End to End of 1 hr. If only every experience was as good as this!
Melbourne to Hobart- it was smooth – I used Transcorp to move my household goods from Melbourne to Hobart, and the service exceeded my expectations. The teams responsible for both pickup and delivery were highly professional, friendly, and efficient. From my experience, the key to a successful move is clear communication—if you provide all the necessary instructions and stay in touch, everything runs smoothly. Thanks again to the entire team for making the move hassle-free! Show details · 1
Grays online furniture Sydeny to Melb short notice – Bought a white fabric couch and a timber entertainment unit on Graysonline with short notice restricted (time window) pickup from Sydney. Needed competitively priced transport to Melb - contacted Transcorp - no problem at all - 48 hour pickup arranged. Also asked for white fabric couch to be wrapped (floor stock - not protected) not a problem… Read more · 1
also. I also needed storage for one month prior to house move and Transcorp could do that at competitive pricing also. Even got sent a photo of wrapped couch and unit prior to storage after requesting to see it. Thanks Transcorp team!! Awesome stress free service.

Rather disappointed – We chose Transcorp to relocate from Melbourne to Hobart a couple of weeks ago, it was a removalist job our employer funded for us, 4-5 bedroom house. I personally dealt with [Name Removed] from the beginning. I told her we have not used removalists in the past and did not want to be one of those horror stories you read about, she assured me that… Read more
won’t happen and that they know what they are doing. [Name Removed] seemed quite OK on first conversations and once they got the job and as comms continued she became rather rude, talking at me and not to me. She also lied to me, initial quote we received was sent to me at $8549, we decided to add a bit more space and she said to me over the phone that the quote will only go up a couple of hundred dollars more, only to find out our employer received a revised quote directly sent to them at $9809 later, that is not a couple of hundred dollars more, it is $1260! I could not believe this. I hope calls are recorded and management can follow up on this. [Name Removed] also seems almost annoyed for being contacted about anything throughout the processes once the dotted line was signed, rushing to end the call and again, just being rude, also calls seem to drop out at their centre... I cannot believe someone with her attitude can be in Customer Service. I told [Name Removed] from the start that we will be moving back to Melbourne in the near future, surely this is a low hanging fruit to be nice to someone and provide good enough experience to get more and more jobs, at least I would think so… Be aware that the uplift and delivery dates Transcorp provides are ONLY estimates (they tell you that but you’d think moving home has a lot of logistics that depend on things happening a certain date vs just moving a couch) and you won’t know if they are going ahead until 4-4:30pm the day prior, our uplift date was rescheduled at 3pm the day prior and pushed a day forward. If you are using them do not count on those dates not to be disappointed. The staff they use are contractors and not their employees, don’t expect too much care to be given, at the end of the day no one would care about your things as you would. I witnessed them bumping into doors and things here and there, dropping swear words as they do, and you just cringe hoping its nothing more than a scuff. I am glad our furniture isn’t too expensive apart from the odd item, if you have nice things I definitely won’t be recommending them, just manage your expectations. Furniture arrived with chips and scuffs and marks, there were boot marks on pieces of our sauna (why walk or step on it?). Again, manage your expectations and don’t expect your things to arrive as they left.
What a mess – For starters their contractors left things behind. When wrapping breakable kitchen stuff they dropped and broke items. When the load was finally delivered into our new place, what a HUGE mess. Packed so poorly not a box was undamaged. If it wasn't crushed, it was dented, torn and broken. Very expensive power wheelchair was damaged and multiple… Read more
items where damaged. The best one ? Found the washing machine UPSIDE DOWN and will not now work. When l rang Transcorp the person l spoke too couldn't have cared less; just said well will have to wait for process to play out to decide IF they will compensate. Appalling service, will NEVER use them again and certainly would not recommend them to anyone.

End-to-end NIGHTMARE. Brisbane to Canberra move. Transcorp informed me about a pick-up date. Booked my Can-Bris return flight. Then they changed the pick-up date. Had to fly back for work so they picked up all my things from a tiny storage unit (1.3… Read more
cubic meter) without my presence. Transcorp confirmed delivery date and then changed it - via email. No reason provided. I had to firmly tell them that they misled me & made them change the date so I can be at home. They lost a number of items that were on the inventory. There was no way anything were left in storage because the storage company would have told me. They managed to recover 2 items but lost big white plastic tub of paintings, potteries & other things I collected when I worked in countries that are now conflict zones. How they can lose a big white plastic tub? It's about 100 liter capacity. The items are not expensive but their value are priceless. Probably lost forever. Completely heartbroken. One person working in the operations unit was helpful. Otherwise, shambles. Never again.
Follow-up · Zero communication & follow up from Transcorp after this review & their gaslighting (lies & accusations) comment. Woll continue to pursue the case. Gathering evidence to build my case. The issue is not about financial compensation but the appalling dismissive response to customers & poor logistics management. If they gave the information of the… Read more

These guys were absolutely fantastic with our move from Brisbane to Hobart. Special mention to Monica in the office for being incredibly efficient and Helpful. Highly recommend them. Show reply
Follow-up · Just to follow up some questions from readers. The guys who packed the container in Brisbane were extremely careful and nothing was damaged or broken on its arrival in Hobart. The furniture arrived within the time frame given and Likewise the guys in Hobart were equally as careful unpacking. To sum up there was absolutely nothing I can complain about.

Having used Transcorp twice before with no issues they were the first I went to for a move from Pascoe Vale to Footscray. Removal day came and the guys arrived and loaded up. Our goods went into storage for 5 days. On the Saturday (4 hour minimum) the guys had difficulty finding a spot to unload. Time was wasted before unloading could commence.… Read more
The guys did a good job but due to breaks it ran over 4 hours. 2 items were found to be damaged which the guys documented yet Transcorp have no record. Charges keep coming; the latest for $287.07 with no detailed invoice and no consideration for the damaged goods. It seems Transcorp is intent on extracting every penny from this pensioner, with no customer service post-move whatsoever.
After much tooing & froing Transcorp have declined to refund anything because I have deleted a clause on their form of release which relates to me not posting adverse comments on my experience with them i.e. waive my freedom of speech.
Naturally I will have no further dealings with this company. Good luck to you if you do.

Highly recommended! Cannot Thank Transcorp enough! – I cannot recommend Transcorp highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble, from the moment i rang to enquire the sales rep Liliana did everything to accommodate me and make our move as smooth as possible. She walked me through step by step even assisting with taking my inventory over the phone as I walked from room to room to avoid having to fill… Read more · 1
out confusing and time consuming forms at a time I was already extremely overwhelmed. Liliana and Transcrop handled everything from furniture removal, pet transport, car carrier and even storage on the other end. Through the whole process, nothing was ever too much hassle and they worked with me and accommodated every change, concern and request. I cannot thank Stan, Liliana & Lynn enough for helping me, my family & fur babies to relocate, making what was an extremely stressful and worrying time, a breeeze. They took all the stress and worry off me and allowed me to just focus on myself and kids. Thank you Transcorp for helping us start our new life stress and worry free.
Fantastic Removal Experience All-Around – Would absolutely recommend using Transcorp Removals for your moving needs whether it be interstate or locally! Amazing people who do incredible work. My experience was a fantastic one all around, my partner and I moved from Hobart to Melbourne, 2 bed unit to a 3 bed home. Starting with the initial phone call and quote done by Lilly, I was very… Read more · 1
impressed by the customer experience, service and value supplied. I even added on additional items after the first quote and Lilly was lovely helping me to save as much money as possible while adding what I needed, the price was significantly cheaper then other removalists I was quoted by, saving over $1000 in insurance and over $500 in the removal itself (mind you I had contacted with 2 weeks to move and it normally takes more time then that, so they were able to ensure the timing was perfect also. Goods moved 1 day before move out and receiving my goods 1 day after move in.)
The move itself was easy and stress free, my grandmother was at the pick up and said "the boys were very lovely, quick and thorough and obviously knew what they were doing", which was amazing to hear as I was worried not being at the property, but they left the house perfect with no damages on the way out getting the job done well. The move in was even better, we were notified by text every step of the journey to let us know when the goods would arrive and received a call from the gentleman at the time they had advised of arriving to let us know they were here. 2 absolute legends of men moved my entire 3 bed home in with ease asking where I would like items to be stored and carrying heavy items up the stairs where necessary. They then went through a sign off sheet asking me to confirm everything was delivered appropriately (which it was) and again leaving no damage to the property or my items. I feel bad that all I bought them was a coffee and a water, wishing now I had bought them a case of beer!!
Thank you to everyone at Transcorp Removals as it was an amazing and pleasant experience all-around, and this is coming from someone who worked in Removals for 8 years themselves.
If you have read this far along, you should at the very least enquire about a quote on your next move and know you'll be in safe, experienced hands.

We had a fantastic experience with Transcorp Removalists. They were on time, professional, and communicated clearly from start to finish. The team handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made the whole process feel stress-free. Pricing was very fair and transparent, with no surprises, and the service exceeded our expectations. We… Read more · 1
really appreciated how organised and respectful the team was throughout the move.
Highly recommend Transcorp Removalists and would absolutely use them again.
Transcorp were genuinely phenomenal! I lived in a very remote part of the NT and was moving halfway across the country to interstate. These guys were able to put a move together for me in under a week. That was despite very short notice (as my I cancelled my original removalist, who would have taken about 2 months to get to me), wet weather and… Read more · 1

My relocation was between Melbourne & Cairns with a full 20’ container and included 4 weeks’ storage. Overall the service was excellent; friendly and efficient. The loading and unloading team did great jobs, including specific requirements on some furniture. The head office team on initial planning, ongoing communication and after service resolution were very professional and attentive. Show details · 1

I had used them for a move from Adelaide to Sydney 11 years ago and that was a very good experience. Their standards have declined significantly since then. The booking team are good but the business manager quoted a ridiculous sum for a move from Sydney to Brisbane. Thank god we did not use their storage facility or they would have charged even… Read more
more. The packing was sloppy with the tops of my kitchenware in one box and the other bits and pieces in other boxes. When asked whether the quote was for cubic meters, there was no clear answer. The business manager askef for another huge sum when we asked if we could add our old sofa,so we thought we would have to leave it behind. However, the driver of the truck, said he could take the sofa at no extra cost as we really did not have eniugh to fill the truck- he obviously was thinking in cubic meters! Arrived much later than the expected time at the storage facility; bad communication about arrival time. So a sad decline from previous great standards and a terrible experience.

Never Again – We moved from QLD to Tasmania with Transcorp in December 2024. Lots of items broken and damaged and one expensive item outright stolen by the contracted movers Transcorp engaged. Transcorp not interested in fixing the issues or replacing the items despite a hefty $20,000 moving bill. It's like pulling teeth. 3 months in and we are still nowhere.… Read more
Transcorp now using the excuse that we signed off on everything being there when they dropped the contents of 2 shipping containers off. How would anyone know that there was something missing until everything was unpacked? Just ludicrous. Now I have to report the theft to the Police, now 3 months after the fact because I gave Transcorp the time to fix it and really all they did was waste my time. Do not use Transcorp.
Don’t risk using this company – I booked this company 3 weeks before a scheduled move. I have a daughter with a disability and I had a compression fracture in my spine from a fall. After an extended phone call with a customer rep dates and times were agreed upon and booked. 4 days later when no booking confirmation was received, I rang to check. Oversight, I was told. Email… Read more
arrived but times weren’t mentioned. I sent an email to point this out. Further email received, confirming times. Red flags already. On the scheduled day of the move…..they don’t turn up. No communication. I had to ring. Apparently truck broken down but driver hadn’t bothered to tell head office. No idea when replacement truck will arrive. No apologies, no compassion. Caused an enormous amount of stress. I cancelled all bookings and found another removalist who came within the hour, thank goodness. Would give zero stars if I could.

We have had some disastrous moves in the past, but Katrina and the crew who handled our move from start to finish deserve a platinum award! Moving a complete home and workshop interstate from Qld to Tas is a nightmare and we had to juggle load size and several times we had to add or subtract an item or two, but Katrina made the various… Read more · 1
adjustments, so that part of our move it was basically a stress free time. Shipping availability caused delivery to be a couple of days late, but we were updated along the way, so were ready when the truck arrived at the renewed time. 100% happy with the whole operation.
Booking my move of a 2-bedroom house from Logan to Melbourne was a breeze. Lynne answered all my thousand questions and guided me through the process. The removalists in Logan and Melbourne were diligent, careful, and a pleasure to work with. My furniture arrived without a single scratch. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to use their services again. Show reply
Milan was an absolute legend delivering my new couch, I live rural and he’s truck didn’t fit in my front gate so he loaded everything onto my Ute and helped me drive up and unload into the house in a couple of trips. He went above and beyond for my delivery, very thankful! Show reply
After a couple of Incredibly frustrating interactions with other far inferior transport companies I got hold of Lilly at Transcorp.

Lilly listened,… Read more · 1
responds immediately, is Flexible, very competitive, accomodating to my particular moving needs, and has thought of every possible angle ahead of the game. Compared to the day spent trying to understand the nonsense from a competitor I am overjoyed to have found Lilly and Transcorp.
Perfect from start to finish for my move from Vic to Qld. Paul (Manager) did a walk-through my house to give a quote and I amended this quote a few times without any additional fees (as I kept within the m3 allowance). Monika who took all my calls and queries was very patient. Items were collected on time and stored for 3 weeks at the end of the… Read more · 1

The people at Transcorp are exceptional in making sure your move is as stress-free as possible. We are so happy with all of our interactions, from the booking stage through to the move itself.

particular, I'd like to give a shout-out to Lilly in the Office and Simon (transport arrangements). They've both gone above-and-beyond to provide excellent service. I would easily recommend Transcorp for your move!
Transcorp were great. The support was amazing and really patient. While you figure out all the moving pieces of a move interstate. Super patient and response to phone calls and emails.

The whole team has been an absolute treat to work with. Changing pick up days and even not having a delivery address until after booking was no hassel.
