Where do I start? Whats one of the most anxious times in life - moving...! Do you know whats not? Entrusting Brisbane Removalists with the move. I've moved (way too) many times in my life - and this was, by far, one of the "best" moves i have done. Alex and Giovanni were outstanding - from the moment they arrived, to when they drove off - nothing was an issue - all strategically taken care of - no bumps, no scratches, no dents nothing (a far sight better than previous where fridges were dented and washing machine trashed without so much as a sorry). What made it 100 times better was their attitude - laughter, fun and legit enjoyed themselves - even for a Saturday morning! Thank you Brisbane Removalists and a MASSIVE thank you Alex and Gio! Chris B
Response from the owner:What a gorgeous review Chris. It was lovely enough that you took the time to ring but to also write this has made my day and I am sure Alex and Gio will be thrilled. I am glad we could make your move full of fun and laughter. I hope you enjoy your new home and that you do not need to move again any time soon - we will of course be happy to help but who needs the stress of moving! Take care Chris - Eileen and the team. :)

I had a move yesterday 31/03/2026 , I had multiple addresses over half of Brisbane. I had 2 really nice people turned up Kevin and Jeff . They were on time , everything was great work. Jeff and Kevin were very polite, could not help me enough. Great work and for me over in short time in peak hour traffic. This is my second move with Brisbane Removalists, I will be using them again.
Response from the owner:Hi Greg, Thanks for the review. Kevin and Jeff will be very happy to see this. We will put them on your upcoming move if we can. Love to hear that the teams are the superheroes we hold them to be. It is a tough job to do day, in day out, but they always do it with a smile. We are very grateful to have such great young men on our teams. We will chat soon. Eileen

I thought the Brisbane Removalists did a great move . The company keeps in touch, first move in a long time I didn't have to chase the movers . The removalists that did the move were, on time, moved quickly and carefully. No breaks or losses , and where finished a lot sooner than I thought it would have taken.
Response from the owner:Good afternoon, Greg, thanks for the lovely review. Glad your small move went perfectly. Always tricky with risky objects but our superheroes did the job! Thanks for taking the time to review us. Eileen and the team.
This is my second time using their service and it was so easy and quick. Guys came on time, took care of all the heavy lifting and moved us to our new place within half a day. Thanks :)
Response from the owner:Thank you Alana...We love return customers! It means we are doing something right! Thanks for your lovely words. We wish you all the best in your new home and a lovely Easter. Till next time??? Eileen
I chose Brisbane Removalists because of the positive reviews. If you want efficient and friendly, you can't go wrong. I mean, who sings when they're lugging heavy furniture? These happy guys, that's who! I would recommend them to anyone. And if you want to feel as though you're in good hands from the get go, Eileen is your person. So helpful.
Response from the owner:Hi Christine...thank you for such a lovely review. Love it! Our superheroes can even sing....that I did not know! I am thrilled your move went well and that you enjoyed our services. I hope you settle well and quickly and those boxes disappear quickly! Happy landing!!!! Eileen

Excellent service - from our first phone call to the completion of a small move across town, all members of the team were great to work with.
Response from the owner:Awww Thanks Tracey. You were a pleasure to move! I am glad Erick's team could help you. I will let them know you appreciated them. Thanks for taking the time to write a review especially for such a small move. We appreciate this. Have a lovely evening. Eileen

Had a great experience with the guys from Bris Removalists (shout out to Juan & Sebastien!). They did a great job, were lovely guys & very friendly (& patient lol!). Love that a local Brissy business is being supported & when you call you're speaking to one of the owners (thanks for your help Eileen!). Wouldn't hesitate to use again, thanks BR!
Response from the owner:Hi Caz, love to hear that we made your move a breeze. Juan and Seb are wonderful and full of life. I think you have to be patient in this job - it is not for the faint-hearted and it means a lot to us when we know that our teams are appreciated for all the hard work they do. Really appreciate your support for our business and what we are trying to achieve here. Enjoy your new home and the wonderful adventures this brings. Eileen and the team at BR

In a word, brilliant, hardworking and knowledgable, did the job, with good humour and a big attention to detail, could not give bigger recommendation of Hallei (may have gotten the spelling wrong but one strong and pleasant individual) and his team mate the ever optimistic and energetic Thomas ... great guys and so was their their helper in the initial upload ... can't recommend them strongly enough ..
Response from the owner:Good morning, William, it is lovely to come into the office with this to start the day. Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. It is really valuable in supporting our business, so we thank you! I will let Javier, Thomas and Jhon know that you appreciated their energy and great attitudes on top of their superpowers! We wish you all the very best in your new home and hope that it ticks all the boxes. It was lovely dealing with you throughout the process. Settle well and enjoy the next step in the adventure that life is! Eileen, Thomas and our superhero team.

Brisbane Removalists assisted us with our recent office relocation in Hendra, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! As this was my first time organising an office move, I was naturally a little nervous, but the team at Brisbane Removalists made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Eileen supported me through the booking process and ensured every detail was covered. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable, she guided me through considerations I hadn’t even thought of, and highlighted things other companies hadn’t mentioned. I genuinely felt at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. On moving day, we had four fantastic removalists take care of the relocation. A special shoutout to Chris, Kevin, Horhay and Sebastian for their professionalism, hard work and the care they took with our furniture and office equipment. They kept everything running smoothly and made what could have been a stressful day feel effortless. We highly recommend Brisbane Removalists for any move, particularly office relocations. Thank you again to the entire team!
Response from the owner:Hi Brittany, what a lovely review. Thank you for posting this. We do a lot of office moves and they can be tricky in the city with so many rules. Many do not realize this when they book. We always have to look at height restrictions, loading zone rules, building rules for lift use etc. Much better to have all this ironed out before move day so there are no surprises. We are thrilled your move went to plan and that there was no issue parking at the second after all. Very hard to organise from another city on top of that so great job at your end too. It was lovely working with you on this. All the best Brittany. Eileen. Thomas and the team.

Eileen’s team helped us move house and they were fantastic. The three guys were punctual, well organised, incredibly strong, and handled a huge number of boxes with ease. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble, they even helped take a few items for donation and disposal. Really impressed and happy to recommend Brisbane Removalists to anyone needing a reliable and hardworking moving crew.
Response from the owner:Hi Dan, thanks so much for a lovely review. We really appreciate the time and effort as we all know that this is the last thing on your mind when you have just moved home. I will let Seb. Thomas and Jesus know that you have appreciated their hard work. So glad we could help you transition into your new adventure with a little less stress. Happy landing Eileen and the team. :)

This company is amazing! We had a move booked in and unfortunately had to reschedule due to issues with the real estate agency and bond cleaning. They were so helpful and helped us reschedule for another date without any additional costs! Thank you team!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Bree, thank you for your lovely review. It is par for the course to have to reschedule with so many variables with moving. We do it regularly - our planning is a moving tapestry even to the point of sometimes having to find on-the-day solutions for settlements that fall through after uplift. I am glad we could help and that this took away some of your stress. We hope that when the dust settles you can start your new adventure stress-free. Eileen and the team.

We had a tricky move, based on a very steep drive way and also a 3 story town house. Andre and Brad were great, with their infectious attitude and can do approach. Would definitely book again for my next move.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the lovely shout out to the team. Some moves are tougher than others, and that is why we have superheroes! I am glad that they did not lose their fighting spirit! I am sure that you all had fun! Nothing like a challenge to charge one's will. Enjoy your new adventure in your new home. I will pass on your review to the team. Eileen.

We were very pleased with the whole operation moving us from Brisbane to Hervey Bay. The Guys, Javier, Thomas & Vanderson were exceptional, they were on time every time, very efficient, nothing was damaged & they were all very polite and extremely likeable. The whole experience went very well & we would certainly recommend Brisbane Removalists to anyone who is moving. Ruth. & Vic
