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

Amazing service. I would recommend in a heartbeat. They took such care with our house items and were lovely to deal with. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Hi Kerrie, lovely to hear such praise. I will let Jose and Giovanny know that you thought they did an awesome job. I wish you well with the next adventure and we will be there to help if you need us again. I hope they managed your tricky drive. Eileen and the team at BR
The guys were great. On time, friendly and no nonsense. Picked up our household of furniture and delivered it safely to our new home. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi Karyn, thank you so much for your review. Super to hear that our teams are efficient and made your day as stress-free as possible. I hope you settle well in your new home and enjoy making new friends and connections. Take care, Eileen and the team from 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.
Friendly and efficient - highly recommend
Response from the owner:Hi Gerard,
Thanks for taking the time to review us. Very happy we made your move a successful one. We wish you all the best in your new home. I usually wish you new adventures but given you have just moved up the road I am pretty sure your surroundings are very familiar! 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 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
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Vitor and Ruth. We are thrilled to be part of your new adventure. I am glad it all went to plan and that you had a perfect move. Take care and we wish you all the very best in Hervey Bay. Enjoy the great sunsets. Eileen and team
Brilliant! - Arrived on time, courteous and respectful, no time wasting, billed as expected, took on additional tasks as needed to complete the move.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gaz and Rose, for such a lovely review. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are super happy that we made your move so easy and that it went to plan for you. We wish you all the very best and a wonderful Christmas and start to the new year in your new home. I hope the boxes are all unpacked before Christmas! Eileen and the team

Aileen went way beyond ‘above and beyond’ to get my move slotted in in a very tight timeframe - she quite literally made it possible for me to get out of a difficult living situation, all while being so patient and kind when things didn’t go to plan.
The moving teams they sent out were wonderful, just lovely guys who got the job done carefully and quickly and had all the needed equipment etc.
I’m very grateful to Aileen and the team - their service made a huge part of a really hard situation just that little bit easier to deal with and that’s worth its weight in gold.
Response from the owner:Hi A., we are just relieved that we could help out and support you in this difficult time. It was a team effort. Thanks to another lovely customer who helped us by pushing her move back, we were able to make it work. I wish you all the very best for the future and a fresh start. I am sure 2026 will be a more positive one. You deserve it. Have a lovely Christmas. Eileen and the team.
What hard workers and knowledgeable great to deal with !!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Smiley. Really happy to have made your move possible and that the team did a great job. :) I will let Erick know. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Cheers, Eileen and the superhero team!

We used Brisbane removalists for moving our pharmacy and lab to a new location. We liked their punctuality, professionalism and best of all, the customer service and communication. However, we ended up paying much more than what we expected.
Response from the owner:Hi Maryam. thank you for your lovely review. We always appreciate clients taking the time to do this. We are glad our professionalism shone through. We do strive to maintain this at every stage of the process. I am sorry that you ended up paying more than you expected. We gave you an estimate of 5 .5 hours and it took 6.5 plus you had $60 packing material added on the job. It is extremely difficult to estimate a job, but it is standard that this can go either side, which we make clear. The difference can be due to unknown access issues, and in your case, the extra care needed for extremely expensive laboratory equipment and ensuring we delivered it safely. We are super happy that we did this perfectly, as it was a high-risk job. We wish you all the best in the new clinic. Have a wonderful Christmas, Eileen and the team.

Really appreciate the great service — highly recommended! 👍😊

From Eileen who took my call and turned an impossible situation around, to Vanderson and Sebastien who tirelessly moved us into a warehouse during a very humid day, I can not recommend a moving company more enthusiastically! They were so responsive and incredibly professional and a joy to have working in your space! Thank you so much for all your help yesterday! 💪
Response from the owner:So lovely of you to have taken the time to review us Jodie. Glad we could turn your last minute let down into a positive. We really do have superheroes and they are the backbone of our success. Thanks for giving them a shout out. I wish you all the best for your event and hope that it creates awesome memories for you. Congratulations! Eileen and the team.

Brisbane Removalists have been incredible in moving us today! We have had the best experience from our initial enquiry, booking, arriving on time with a courtesy call half an hour prior, and understanding multiple drop offs along the way.
Our family have been very happy with how easy this emotional move has been made for us. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to thank the team and their efforts. We appreciate the positive feedback. We are just really happy we could help out under the circumstances and make it easier for you. We wish you all the very best. Take care :) Eileen and the team.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lily for a lovely review. Glad our superheroes could help out and that we could get you moved last minute. We wish you all the very best in your new home. Take care, Eileen and the team

For a commercial office relocation I contacted several removalist for quotes and Eileen was the most helpful and professional, hands-down.

Eileen was great to work with especially as I'm based in another state and I was managing the Brisbane office relocation.

The removalists were on time and had the job completed swiftly and our company staff in attendance couldn't speak more highly of Brisbane Removalists.

Another tenant in the building we were vacating appreciated the review our staff gave of Brisbane Removalists and requested I forward the contact details for Eileen, which I promptly did - also forwarding to the Property Manager for the building for other tenants moving in or moving out.

Thanks to all of the crew at Brisbane Removalists.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for such a lovely review Mel. It was such a pleasure dealing with you throughout the process too. We appreciate the word of mouth...this is what we rely on the most - happy customers! I can't wait to find out more about that old safe! Hope our paths cross again. 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.

10000/10 Breno and Joao were an absolutely incredible team together. They were on time, so friendly, and very good at their job. They took such care with all my items and were very cautious of my walls when delivering into my new house. Moving is usually such a stressful process but they made the day so exciting and fun, and I would 100% use them again!
Response from the owner:Another glowing review for Breno and Joao. They ARE true superheroes. Thank you for putting their names in lights and thanking them like this. Being a removalist is a tough job and we are very thankful that we have such great teams that do the hard slog day in and day out. We love it when they get the appreciation they are due. I am sure they had a great move with you too. It really makes a difference to their day being appreciated for their efforts. Enjoy your new home! Eileen and the team.
