We have used Brisbane Removalists twice now for our business moves and they have been very reliable and extremely helpful.
Response from the owner: Good morning, Jenna, Thank you for the review and taking time to actually do this. It is not usually high on anyone's agenda after a move, but it certainly helps us. We are thrilled that you have had 2 successful office moves and that we could help to make the process easy for you. Enjoy your new offices and maybe we will see you again in the future? We wish you all the best for the foreseeable. I will let Thomas and Daniel know. :) Eileen and the team.
Second time I have used Brisbane Removalists and let me tell you, they never disappoint!Thank you so much to Andre and Lucas for today, you were absolutely incredible! Greeted with a warm smile, both very polite, kind and courteous! P.S - what wonderful singers, you are! Haha ;) I was so stressed about the move but you put my mind at ease right away, had great communication the whole way through and both were very thorough! I can't thank you enough, you are both absolute legends! A++Also to Eileen and the team, thank you once again for your understanding and oustanding customer service. Always a pleasure speaking with you on the phone! :)Lauren x
Response from the owner: Good morning, Lauren, What a lovely way to start the day! We love to get such happy clients. We also love to know that our teams are true superheroes, and you got a concert for free! I will have to investigate this. I did not know we had such talent on our teams. I know who to book in for the Christmas party or was that tongue in cheek? I hope that you settle well and that you do not have to move again soon but we will be there for you if you do. I will let Andre and Lucas know that you have given them such a glowing review. We have so enjoyed moving you too and the fun conversations. Makes my job fun too!Cheers, Eileen and the team
Great service from the office and the two young men who came out. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you, James for taking the time to give us a review. I will let Erick and team know that they did a great job. They are true superheroes especially in this heat. :) Enjoy your new home. Eileen and the team.
I would recommend to a friend. I had a stressful day after a removal company cancelled last minute. These guys saved the day by stepping in last minute! Also to mention Jonathan and Marlon were very carful at handling our goods and made it such a smooth process. Such great workers!!In my eyes money well spent.Thanks again,Daniel
Response from the owner: So glad we could help out Daniel and that our superheroes gave you a 5-star service. It was just lucky that we were able to get a truck available given it was a Friday afternoon - Fridays are always the busiest! So happy we did and gave you the weekend to unpack! Have fun in your new home! Take care!
These guys were amazing!! Prompt, polite and very professional and respectful of our situation. From our first point of contact with the lovely ladies in the office to final payment, we could not fault them. We will not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone! Thank you team!! Deb
Response from the owner: Good morning, James and Deb,This is such a lovely message to see first thing in the morning. Thank you for taking the time to do this. We are so glad that we could make your mum's move a less stressful one. We hope that everything goes well with the changes ahead. I wish you all the very best Deb. You were so lovely to deal with. Something we love in the office - people connecting with people. I am glad Erick and David made this move a gentle one. Take care, Eileen and the team.
The gents turned up on time and cheery at 6:45am. Diego (Colombian) and Sebastian (Ecuadorian) were polite, careful with our stuff and respectful of our family. I was super impressed by their meticulous placement of all furniture on the truck (a passer by said the same!) and there were no bumps or bruises on either property or any of the goods or humans (haha). Pay by the hour and very good value. Thanks all.
Response from the owner: Hi Chris and Sarah, Lovely to hear that your move went so well and that our superheroes made it a stress-free day. I am positive that both Diego and Sebastian will be thrilled to see their names in lights but more that you appreciated their care and professionalism. I hope you both had a fun day. We wish you all the very best in your new home. A new home is always a great way to start a new year off! Cheers, Eileen and the office team.
I recently hired Brisbane Removalists based on a friend's recommendation, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Erick and Christian were fantastic from start to finish. They communicated their ETA and arrived right on time. Both were polite, courteous, and professional, making the whole process feel stress-free.What really stood out was how careful and attentive they were with my furniture. Not a single item was damaged, and it was obvious they took the time to ensure everything was packed securely. They worked quickly, without cutting any corners, and it was clear they really knew what they were doing. The whole move went smoothly and was completed efficiently.To top it off, their rates were very reasonable, and there was no surcharge for paying by card.
Response from the owner: Good morning Xavier, thanks so much for such a beautiful review. It was lovely to come back from break to find this. We love to see our teams appreciated for the hard work they do. Erick is a superstar and always ensures his team works carefully and professionally. He is a super team leader. We are also glad you appreciated that our fees are reasonable. We give our best to be a 5 star service without it costing you the earth. We understand the pressures and high costs of moving and struggle it is for everyone. We do our best to make it affordable and minimize costs where we can. We wish you all the very best in your new home and a great start to 2025. It must be great to start off the new year in a new place! Eileen
Erick and Diego helped us with our move last week. They were so professional, punctual and moved all our furniture in record time while having to deal with an apartment lifts and tight timeframes. Could not have asked for better movers!
Response from the owner: Hi Uday, thank you so much for the lovely review. Erick and Diego will be happy to know they helped in facilitating your move without stress. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate their work. We wish you all the very, very best for the festive season and new year. Enjoy your new home! Eileen and the team.
Eric and Diaggo….. my happy Spanish REMOVALISTS….. happy, polite and Professional…. On time… and careful a considerate …. Highly recommended 🙏🙏👍👍
Response from the owner: Thank you Pat! Lovely to see happy customers enjoying their move. I will be sure to let the guys know how happy you were with the service they provided and the smiles!!! I hope they taught you some Spanish while they were there. Thanks for taking the time to review us. It means a lot to us. Enjoy your new home! Eileen
Vanderson and Team from Brisbane Removalist were amazing. They took great care of our furniture wrapping in blankets and were outstanding.We has some awkward items to move and their experience and professionalism was apparent.The team were friendly and dedicated.We had everything labelled and planned where it was to go in the new home which the team appreciated.Would highly recommend to anyone moving home
Response from the owner: Good morning Jeffrey, it is always lovely to wake up to a happy customer! Thank you for your kind words. I will let Vanderson, Santiago and Raphael know that you appreciated their attitude, professionalism and skills. We feel the same about them and their dedication to doing their very best. They truly are fantastic and we value them immensely. We wish you all the very best in your new home and hope you enjoy your first Christmas there. Thank you for taking the time to review us. It really helps us too! Eileen and the team at Brisbane Removalists
Luke and Justin just assisted with a local move, highly efficient, friendly, helpful, above and beyond expectations.Can thoroughly recommend Northside Removals
Response from the owner: Hi Melanie, I love that your move went well - unfortunately, it was not with us. I believe you have clicked on the wrong google link. I just want to make sure Northside Removals get the review they deserve. Credit where credit is due and all that. Eileen and the team from Brisbane Removalists
12h and 4 very hard working men got me from my old place to a new one to call home. They were careful and make the effort to care for my belongings and followed instructions to place all the items where I wanted them in the new place. Unfortunately one glass table top was broken in the process. Other than that, everything went well. This was the second time we book their services to move house and we will go back to them next time.
Response from the owner: Hi Sylvia, thanks for taking the time to review us. We love repeat customers. Happy that we managed to get you into your beautiful new home. I hope you settle well. I know this was a big mission for you. Sorry that the table glass broke. Tempered glass does not like truck vibrations and although the team did not knock the table, it spontaneously exploded. This is a known defect with tempered glass - showers, ovens etc. that just randomly explode. I believe this is why insurance companies do not like to cover glass. It is quite scary when this happens and we are truly sorry that it happened. We hope you do not have to move too soon Sylvia! Feet up and enjoy your new home. Eileen and the team.
Sensational communication, amazing service, and great outcome. Cannot fault and really appreciate the above and beyond attention. Thank you for moving me into my new home.
Response from the owner: Good morning Jeff. What a nice way to start my day. Thank you for such a lovely review. I am so glad we could help you settle without the stress. We do try our best to make moving easy so we are thrilled to have you acknowledge this. I will let Miguel and Andres know that they were true superheroes - time to buy them capes I think! I hope you are through the boxes as you did not have many! I hope you enjoy your new surroundings. Take care. Eileen, Atjie, Thomas and the teams.
I have had the best experience with these removalists. From my enquiry with Eileen and then booking the job was easy, very informative, friendly and very knowledgeable. On the day of the move everything went very smoothly. The fellows Jesus and Javier were friendly and professional and went about their work confidently. I would highly recommend brisbane removalists and would use them again.
Response from the owner: Good Morning Jodie, what a lovely way to start my day! Thank you for your kind words and praise of the team. It is not an easy job that they do and I love it when our clients recognize this. Heavy lifting, long days and heat and they still do it with a smile and a great attitude. We would be lost without them. I will let Jesus and Javier know that you have given then a 5 star review. I hope that you have love your new home and garden and settle quickly Jodie. Cheers, Eileen and the team.
Miguel and Jesus were amazing. Very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Brisbane Removalists. They helped me to move from one 3bdr townhouse to another. I was referred to them by someone else, and I was not disappointed.
Response from the owner: Hi Jaimi, Thank you so much for the lovely review. We rely on word of mouth and our Google Reviews, so we are always happy to have referrals. Glad we made your move a smooth one. Yes Miguel and Jesus are amazing. I will let them know that you were thrilled by their professionalism. We wish you all the best Jaimi in your new home. Until next time...Eileen and the team.

Response from the owner: Hi Irene, and John. Thank you for taking the time to review us and for your email. We appreciate you doing this as this was a big move and no doubt you have other things to do! I have let Vanderson, Javier and Santiago know. Glad we managed to get it all done in record time. We wish you all the best in your new home...once the boxes have been emptied that is! Take care, Eileen, Thomas and Antje.
Great guys did an awesome job and didn't mess around. Great value and service. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Hi Mark, Thank you for the lovely review. Andres and Nicholas will be super happy to see this. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Happy it went well and we could take the sting out of moving for you! Happy landing! Eileen and the team.

Response from the owner: Thank you Ashlee for leaving this review. I will let Diego and Jonathan know. They will love to know that they made your move an easy one. We wish you all the very, very best in your new home. Happy landing! Eileen and the team.
The team did a great job with a high level of service from the initial quote right through to the move itself. Can definitely recommend.
Response from the owner: Thanks James for the great review. We love repeat customers. I believe this must be the 3rd time now. Happy that Guto and Henrique made your move so stress-free. I will pass this review onto them. They will be very happy to see this. I am also thrilled that you appreciate the service we offer and come back to us each time. We wish you all the best in your new place. Happy landing! Eileen and the team.
We engaged this company to move my furniture from Caboolture South to North Lakes. The uplift of furniture into a container went smoothly, the 2 gents handled the furniture with care and although it took a little longer than anticipated everything was packed neatly and the container was taken away and placed into storage for 7 days.On the day the furniture was delivered to our place in North Lakes, the unloading went smoothly and the 2 gents were very polite and helpful placing the items where we requested.Unfortunately French door fridge had dents in two of the large doors. We took photos and reported the damage immediately to Brisbane Removalists admin who took ownership of the damage and assured me they would have the fridge doors replaced.They kept me informed of progress and two weeks later we had new doors fitted to the fridge.I can highly recommend this company as from the outset they were very professional and upfront with costs etc.There was absolutely no hesitation in having my fridge repaired and went out of their way to ensure I was satisfied and happy with the outcome.We have used a few different removal companies and without any doubt, Brisbane Removalists are by far the most professional, helpful and honest company we have ever dealt with.Doug & Bev Whitehorn
Response from the owner: Thank you Doug for your lovely review. We are happy to accept errors - we are only human after all. Luckily these are few are far between. They are also learning curves for us, so that we do things better. I am very happy that despite your fridge being damaged, which was absolutely not what we wished for, that you were happy with the service and our follow up. I am glad that it is all sorted now and that you felt supported the entire way through the process. You were fantastic throughout the process too! We wish you all the very best in your new home Doug. It was truly a pleasure dealing with you. :) Regards, Eileen and the team
