Jeff and Julian worked so hard getting all my gear moved. Thanks so much for all of your help!! Efficient and diligent.
Response from the owner:Hi Angela, thank you so much for you lovely review. Very happy to hear this. I will let Jeff and Julian know. I hope you enjoy your new home. Gald it all went well. You now have the weekend to get rid of all those scary boxes! I hope the team drew smiley faces on them for you! Eileen
Eric and Nicholas were absolutley amazing for my move I thuink I ordered a Truck slightly small but they got everything in professinally except the bike which Nicolas road over to the new house as I didnt really know the directions. This blew my mind. Incredible guys to be around for a few hours. Thanks Boys
Response from the owner:Hi Travis, thank you for your wonderful review. I will let Erick and Nicholas know that you appreciated their efforts. They are true superheroes without the capes. That is awesome that Nicolas rode your bike over! Maybe I need to buy them capes! :) Enjoy your new home Travis and thank you for taking the time to write this. Eileen and the team
Thank you so much. The boys were amazing. We were very happy with the way they handled our furniture and also their happy disposition. Thanks again.
Response from the owner:Hi Kari- Ann, thank you so much for the lovely review. I will let Vanderson and Thomas know that they did a great job. :) Thanks for using us for a second time. We love return customers. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Happy landing. Eileen and the office team.
Nicolas and Andrea were fantastic. Efficient and careful. No hassles or stress at all throughout the whole process. Both were very calm and considerate of our time too. Having everything in a shipping container with the option for overnight storage made our tricky settlement time frame simple and flexible. Would highly recommend
Response from the owner:Good morning Francarlo, lovely to start our day with a great review. :) Thank you! So happy we could help take the stress away from double settlement. It is the best way to go to overnight store or even for the week just to be able to clean and not have the pressure of moving out, settling and unloading on the same day. This safeguards you too if settlement does not go through as expected. I will let Nicolas and Andres know that you gave them 5 stars. Thank you for taking the time to review us and appreciate the team. Eileen, Thomas and Antje.
Fantastic job. On time and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks Doug, just what we love to hear. I will let Jeff and Jaime know. We wish you all the very best in your new apartment. I hope it has a good view! Eileen and the team
Antje and her team went over and above with my last-minute booking and unusual situation. Their service was excellent and friendly. An all-round terrific experience. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi Heidi, so happy to hear this. I am glad that we were able to sort your move out for you last minute. I hope that you settle well into your new home. I will let Antje, and the superheroes, Vanderson and Jefferson know how happy you were. Happy landing! Eileen
I highly recommend Brisbane Removalists. Their teams are awesome and amazing. They completed impossible tasks within short time to empty the whole house stuff including few sheds for my dad. It was a very tough job and it’s not only indoor furniture removal but also all other heavy metal machines and tools. Assisted with throwing all unwanted rubbish to skip. Those superheroes worked long hours and were still very energetic with patience full of smiles. In addition to above, the company has fast communication, quick response, and flexible adjustment to provide and adopt customer’s needs. I would give this company 6 stars out of 5. Overflow.
Response from the owner:Xie xie nin, Jane. I am so glad we could help. You were an amazing customer and one I will always remember. Despite the big job you were always so upbeat and positive and full of energy. We loved working alongside you. It was a mammoth task, but we all got there in the end. You were a superheroine too. I am sure you are thrilled this is all over. Take care and we will see you again soon when we deliver your containers! Hope you had a relaxing weekend after all that. Eileen and all the teams that did this job.
Fast, efficient, polite and friendly tram. Price and timing as quoted. Very happy with my second go with these guys, recommend.
Response from the owner:Good morning, Glen! Thank you for the lovely review. You are our 700th review. Reason for us to celebrate. Thank you very much for taking the time to recommend us. We really appreciate this and love having return customers. Enjoy your new home and maybe we will see you again one day down the track. Enjoy the weekend despite the rain - no excuse not to spend the day inside unpacking! Cheers from the BR team. I will let Ignacio know. Eileen
A huge thank you to Igor and Jefferson such friendly helpful guys. They were on time smiling ready to go. They not only moved all my furniture quickly and efficiently but also helped fix a screen door that I had broken that morning. Highly recommend this team thank you guys.
Response from the owner:Hi Michaela, so happy to hear this and that the team went out of their way to help with your door. I will absolutely let them know that they were true superheroes today. We wish you all the best in your new home. Take care. Eileen
Excellent service, great to work with Brisbane Removalists, highly recommend them
Response from the owner:Hi Valentin, thank you for your lovely review. Glad we could help out and make your move a stress-free one. I so enjoyed chatting with you. I really hope you settle well and enjoy your new home. I will let both Camilos know you gave them 5 stars. Eileen
Very professional and polite. On time and great communication with regard to the process. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you, for the lovely recommendation. I am glad we could sort your container move. I am sure this took a lot of stress off you with no double handling needed. I will let the teams know that you have given them a 5 start rating. Enjoy your new home. It is a great place to live. Happy unpacking. :) Eileen
Great experience - very helpful and did a great job
Response from the owner:Hi Larinda, Thank you for the review. We appreciate you taking the time to write this. We wish you all the best in your new home. I hope the unpacking does not take too long! Cheers, Eileen and the team.
A pleasure to deal with! We kept having to add stops along the way but it was no trouble for the team. Highly recommend and we will be back for our next move!
Response from the owner:Hi Harley, thank you for taking the time to review us. I am really happy it all went well - it was a full-on day given the drive, but it ran like clockwork. I will let Vanderson and Javier know that they were true superheroes. We look forward to the next move Harley. Enjoy your long weekend. Eileen, Thomas and Antje. :)
Excellent and friendly service.
Response from the owner:Good morning, Corrina, thank you for reviewing us. We love to see happy customers and love regular customers too. I hope you settle well in your new home - maybe we will see you again soon. :) I will let Juan and Esteban know that you gave them a 5-star review.
I can not recommend this company more highly. We had booked another removalists who did not turn up. We frantically rang around to find someone else and called Brisbane Removalists and they were fantastic. They called to tell us what time they would arrive and the guys worked so hard. They were very careful with all our belongings. Nothing was a problem for them and they took the stress out of our move and we are very grateful for finding them.
Response from the owner:Hi Greg, we are so happy we could help out. :) It is stressful enough moving without being left in the lurch. We are lucky that we have a good number of trucks and drivers to be able to accommodate when this happens. I will let Vanderson and Thomas know that you were super happy with their work. Thank you for taking the time to let them know. We wish you all the very best in your new home Greg and hopefully you won't need another removalist for a while. Take care, Eileen and the team.
Cal and Diego were really great and friendly, I've had removalist nightmares in the past, but these two kids were great thank you john
Response from the owner:Thank you, John, thrilled for you. This is our goal. I am sure Diego and Cal will be happy to know that they have renewed your faith in moving companies. Thank you for taking the time to thank them. They love getting 5-star reviews! Enjoy your new home and hopefully the unpacking is all done or nearly! Eileen and the team.
I just wish I could give 10⭐️!
From the initial phone enquiry through to completion of the actual move - every step was efficient, smooth & hassle free!! I have moved many times in my life & this one was so professional & cost effective - Kudos & much gratitude to the Team at Brisbane Removalists
Response from the owner:Hi Narda, the best part of my job is the connection I have with clients. You stood out from the beginning as being awesome. I am so happy that your move was to your expectations and more, as this is our goal. Moving is super stressful, so anything we can do to make the day go smoother, the better. I love it when, at the end of the day when calm descends on our very hectic office, that I get to spend more time with customers. I loved our chat. I wish you all the very vest Narda for you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. I will let Erick and Nicolas know you gave them 10 stars. :) Eileen and the team.
I’ve used Brisbane Removalists before and always they are a great bunch of bananas.
Reliable, easy to work with and respectful.
Thank you for the seamless move
Response from the owner:Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to review us. Part 1 done, Part 2 still to go. The worst is over -see you for round two. Eileen :)
Exceptional, reliable service from start to finish!
Eileen was extremely helpful, friendly and professional, and provided me with an estimate that ended up on-the-money despite being a 2 3/4 hour drive by car between locations, with a reasonably high degree of difficulty and many potential delays!
Friendly, polite and respectful muscle-nuggets Jaime and Jose arrived early for both pick-ups (and left right on the estimated time), worked super fast despite the very solid and heavy cabinets and lounge suites that had to go out a small apartment's tight entry doorway/small balcony and down 17 steps.
The MANY fragile furniture items (e.g. 57" TV, heavy glass dining and coffee tables, glass shelving, tops and display cabinets) were wrapped so well and handled so carefully that not a thing broke or was marked during the whole process.
All-round, 100% satisfaction for a job extremely well done - thank you Brisbane Removalists...based on my experience, I HIGHLY recommend you to anyone who wants their furniture moved efficiently, safely and very affordably! 👏🏆😃
Response from the owner:What a lovely review to start the day with Karen. Thank you! I am sure Jaime and Jose will be thrilled to see this. I will make sure they read this. I am so glad the move went well. It was a bit of a tricky one, but this is what we do on a daily basis, so the teams are used to it. It is always great to see the teams' efforts being acknowledged as it is far from an easy job so thank you for taking the time to do this as I am sure it is the last thing anyone has energy for after a long move. We wish you all the very best in your new home and happy we made it smooth sailing for you. Eileen and the team.
I wanted to give a massive shout out to Diego and Camillo T from Brisbane removalists
These two guys are incredible, they helped moved my Dads furniture during the week

Response from the owner:Hi Julieann, thank you so much for the lovely review. I am so happy we could help out and make a difficult day better. Both Diego and Camillo are absolute troopers and have a lot of pride in their work and show great sensitivity and respect. I know this was an emotional day for you on more than one level, so we are really happy that it went so well. I hope the clock keeps chiming Julieann. You have no idea how this story, made my day!
