Being faced with shipping my furniture from Australia to the UK was a daunting prospect, but OSS made it easy. They were professional and extremely helpful and reassuring from the beginning. I was kept informed at all stages and now my furniture and personal effects are in my new home in the UK. Thank you OSS.

I used OSS to relocate from Sydney, Australia to Abu Dhabi, UAE in August, 2025. From getting consultation and quotation to scheduling and packing up home goods, OSS was very professional and helpful which made my move a lot less stressful. I have spoken to several relocation consultants but only Metua Carson at OSS was able to provide the most… Read more
accurate information and was always responsive to any questions I asked. My shipment arrived in about 2 months and everything was in perfect condition with no damage. I can’t thank OSS enough for providing such a smooth, stress-free relocation process and I have no hesitation to use them again in the future.
Brilliant communication Very helpful emails and reasurance given for the moving of our house hold contents
Absolutely brilliant service from Mish, Melissa,Josh and Shane, well Done.
Excellent communication & quality customer service – OSS World Wide Movers helped me move my 100 cubic feet of belongings from Taipei (Taiwan), to Melbourne (Australia). Throughout the entire process their move manager Jacqueline was in regular communciation wtih me, providing information about the ship's location and advising me ahead of time concerning steps such as customs and quarrantine. The… Read more
ship was delayed leaving port, but arrived within the estimate I had been given. Jacqueline was particularly helpful when it came to understanding customs and quarrantine requirements, and communicating with their officials.
The delivery driver arrived promptly and unloaded every package with professionalism, courtesy, and care. He was extremely prompt and very cheerful despite being burdened with the task of unloading everything solo, up and down a long driveway.
I would definitely use OSS in the future.
My Packing Team! – I would like to thank the boys who came into my home yesterday and packed it up to ship to New Zealand. Cory, Ben and Nathan did an amazing job and helped me with random questions I had. Added something to pack if they had already done the area. They literally worked with me being annoying. Awesome work! And highly recommend.

It was an excellent experience. I do 100% recommend this company. Everything was so professional and comfortable. Every clue was so professional, friendly, and polite. The relocation consultant was so nice. She was so quick and accurate. I was also… Read more
impressed by their honesty. They have overquoted the freight, and immediately after they have realised it they informed me and paid me back! Three guys came to deliver my belongings. They were so nice, cheerful and quick, friendly and polite . At the beginning of this journey, the consultant told me that they were not the cheapest but I would never regret. Yes, that was right. 100% happy!
Follow-up · One guy came to my (ex)house to pack my belongings. He was very quick but meticulous! Even a small item, such as a Sakecup (diameter around 5cm), was wrapped nicely. Every box was itemized and labeled. There was no damage during the transit at all. On arrival, three guys worked efficiently. My place was well covered so that there would be no damage in the place. They packed all used packagings took them away. My new place was clean!
Move from New Zealand to Australia (whole house contents). Staff in New Zealand were very helpful and efficient they organised everything I asked for. Packers were quick and friendly, pickup went without any problems. My belongings had to go into… Read more
storage for about 9 months and OSS organised that without any problems. Delivery to my new house in Australia, again was very quick - about 3.5 Hours) and there was no damage any of my belongings. The tean again were very friendly and accomodating.
In conclusion a a very positive experiance with OSS. I would fully recomend then to anyone who needs this type of service.
Follow-up · No subsequent problems, All is good.
OSS supported me with a move from Sydney, Australia, to Basingstoke, England. Two bedroom apartment (and a puppy via JetPets!). It's fair to say moving country is a very daunting experience and I had no idea where to start! I contacted multiple… Read more
companies but OSS stood out from the start - knowledgeable and friendly staff (Sam!), easy and clear to understand process, and step by step support. I found it very hard to understand the volume of goods I would be transporting but Sam came to my home to complete a survey which also gave me a quote based on additional optional goods which was super helpful. My survey was also 100% accurate and the price / volume quoted from the survey was what was packed and shipped. The packers who came to my home were extremely efficient and professional, and I was super impressed with their service. The communication was good once my goods were uplifted and arrived in the UK in a reasonable timeframe. From there, customs clearance took a couple of weeks (expected) and the delivery process in the UK was simple and efficient. OSS also helped me arrange to transport my puppy via JetPets and they were fantastic too. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the service provided and would strongly recommend OSS to anyone making an international move. Special thanks to Sam who was super helpful along the way and answered all my silly questions with kindness and patience!
Follow-up · Since my original review I’ve now moved and unpacked my shipped goods. I was astounded that out of so much kitchen waste, glass items and breakables, there was just one minor damaged item! Considering the journey from Australia to England I think that’s amazing. Well done OSS.
In-depth reviews
We used OSS World Wide Movers for an international relocation (Australia to Gibraltar). The experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We were initially sold a maximum estimated storage/transit timeframe, but our shipment sat for months with repeated reassurances that dispatch was “imminent.” Updates were vague and inconsistent,… Read more
and we frequently had to chase OSS for basic information. What they communicated and promised us was never delivered
When our belongings did finally arrive after six months, multiple furniture items were damaged — those that were severely damaged were unfixable. Several pieces were chipped, smashed, or structurally compromised, and sentimental, irreplaceable items were broken. We were explicitly instructed not to pack anything ourselves because OSS would handle "professional" packing.
After all this and despite extensive photographic evidence, OSS refused to assess responsibility, stating that because advanced transit insurance was declined, the matter would not be reviewed “regardless of the nature or cause of the damage.” Damage was repeatedly described as “normal transit movement,” even where the extent of destruction was clearly inconsistent and not caused with minor vibration or wear.
The most concerning aspect was the position taken by OSS that service quality and packing standards are irrelevant if insurance is not purchased. Insurance may determine financial recovery, but it does not erase a mover’s responsibility to pack and handle goods professionally. The refusal to separate insurance coverage from basic duty of care was embarrassing on their account, and frustrating and disappointing on ours.
OSS referenced industry standards, but in our case there was no meaningful accountability when the outcome fell well short of professional expectations and denied all accountability.
Bottom line is that we lost thousands of dollars worth of precious items that we worked hard to obtain all because OSS does not respect the property of their customers nor how long it takes to get there. They possess an inflexible, dismissive approach to responsibility once problems arise, and while we cannot pursue legal action any further, we would not recommend OSS World Wide to anyone.
Move from France to Australia. We had used OSS in 2012 when we left Australia, everything went very smoothly that was the reason we decided to use OSS for our return to Australia. Initial contact was with Blacktown office, Nic Sorensen was a great help and guided us thru the start. He was professional and made us feel at ease. From Pickup,… Read more
packing and service was excellent. We were located in a fairly remote area in the mountains south west France. No problem to locate us, 2 chaps from Valencia, arrived on time. They were so careful with packing, crockery, glasses items of value. Very polite and packed and left within a few hours. We were very comfortable with the experience. We were contacted thru the shipment process, again professional and on the ball. Shipment was due to be delivered 16th July. Aaron called and confirmed delivery would be between 8.00 am and 10.00am. Delivery was made approximatley 9.20 am. Everything looks as it left France. We have not unpacked but feel everything will be fine. Thank you OSS and all involved in our move, it was a No hassle experience. Cheers Sonja& Michel Elorri
We engaged OSS to facilitate moving our belongings from Australia to Canada. The initial meeting was thorough, an agent came to our house and walked through each room and what we would and wouldn't want to take. A quote and different options were provided within a few days. We moved a 3 bedroom house, family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The… Read more
removalists on the OSS side were quite good, professional and packed up the house rather quickly.
There were some unfortunate concerns post arrival in Canada, however these seem to have been with the receiving company. These concerns were addressed by our OSS contact quickly and effectively.
In regards to our belongings, only a single glass item was damaged, given it was glass sent by sea over a several month journey, we understand this can happen. We did take out insurance just incase prior to departure, and are awaiting claim response so can't comment on this aspect. Our other belongings were quite well packed and didn't have damage. We were allowed to keep the shipping boxes for our kids to play with.
I would highlight that when we raised our concern with OSS, we received replies from several team members, all of whom seemed to empathize with us and act to expedite a resolution. Which is a sign of a good business in my personal opinion.

Misha who done the quote was great came out to our place in person (2 hour drive) to go through everything, offering different options. Misha was very clear about everything, and communicated well. Then the boys came out to pack and wrap, done expert job. They were very respectful and helpful, turned up on time, great job. Geoffrey Airs. Show details

Also very good communication and best of all, all our stuffs were undamaged! I would highly recommend OSS World Wide Movers for your international moving of stuffs. Cheers! Sylvester & Kate
My household items were picked up in the last week of March 2025 for an international move to the UAE. After several months with no delivery and no clear updates, I requested that the shipment be re-directed to Singapore. Again, after months of inaction and no progress, I asked for the items to be returned to Australia. I was then charged… Read more
additional fees to send and return the items from Singapore, with the explanation that the shipment was already on board a vessel. It has now been over 10 months since the original pickup, and I am still trying to get my belongings back. Throughout this process: Communication has been unclear and inconsistent Responses are slow and often vague No confirmed delivery dates are ever provided Responsibility appears to shift, with little ownership of resolving the situation
OSS International moves are stressful enough, and this experience has significantly added to that stress. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company due to the prolonged delays, lack of transparency, and ongoing uncertainty around delivery.

We recently moved from South Africa to Queensland Australia, a 3bed 2garage home needed to be packed up, shipped and unpacked on the other side of the world. The service from OSS was just amazing grom start to finish. The partner company they work with who packed up our house was well trained in what can/cant go to AUS, and communication and… Read more
planning was seamless. The shipping, transfer and unloading of boxes at the final destination was so quick. Our agent Gabbie was intouch with updates before we could even think to ask for them. Any shipping delay was communicated and the professionalism was top tier. Unpacking day was so quick. The team was on time and prepared for everything. We were honeslty blown away by the great service. They truly understand the stress of a move this big and try their best to make it as easy as possible.
I moved form NZ and Anu assisted us with the process. Simply amazing, always prompt to help and assist. But not much assistance required as he always kept us posted on the status and next step. The delivery team was also friendly and efficient. Quick in, unpacked and out!

We moved internationally 4 times within 5 years. Every time with OSS and I can't praise them enough. Communication is excellent. Colleen & Jacqueline have been amazing at answering all questions. Then the packing and unpacking teams. Sunny, Carlos and their colleagues have been AMAZING. In our last move, we found out that our bed didn't fit… Read more
upstairs. The team helped us swap bedrooms (side tables, chest of drawers, beds) without complaint and very efficiently.
International moves are challenging, but we are glad we had OSS guide us through the process and deliver an impeccable service.
Thanks guys!
I cannot speak highly enough of the team at OSS. Jacqueline Marks especially was absolutely fantastic she is not only professional in all aspects, but she also kept us informed completely of our furniture from NZ to Maroochydore. The delivery crew was equally as great, nothing was too much trouble, and they were extremely helpful, in and out without any fuss.
My experience was exceptional from meeting with Jacinta (Relocation Consultant) who walked me through every step, always available to help when I needed questions answered. Gabbie also part of the team helped me with invoicing and payments etc. OSS Insurance also provided all the documentation required. The OSS team who packed me up Darren, Amber… Read more

furniture and goods from 2 locations. Gabbie has been excellent in keeping me up to date on progress and any requirements needed. The move from the Gold Coast to Wanaka has been seamless for the Australian part ,thanks to these very professional members of the team. My thanks and I hope the same standard of service applies on the other side.
Follow-up · Completion of the move was as professional as the begining. Communication from OSS was clear and relevant, Communication and completion by the NZ team at NZ Movers was exemplary, all delivered and in place with minimum stress under the circumstances. I would recommend OSS for any removal and relocation of house hold goods any time. On our experience.
Excellent service. Our mover was Shane Lyons. Can’t speak highly enough of him. The company was excellent throughout but Shane was exceptional. So professional and skilled. Extremely friendly and kind. Would highly recommend this service to anybody needing an overseas removal company. 5 stars.
