Customer reviews
Very Professional in removals. Very happy with the work. No breakage. All removal carried out in time. Excellent.
Have used Home Move a few times and the service has always been top notch. Movers are careful, experienced, and efficient. They are especially good with their time/cost estimate. A+
Friendly, professional service! Came recommended from a friend, and I'd recommend also.
I was a little apprehensive using a removalist, but after reading up on reviews and talking to Vlad I was sold. The guys were absolutely amazing and took very good care when handling our stuff. Nothing was too much for them and were so friendly. There were some mishaps with building access but they were solutions focused and figured out a way to deal with the cards we were given. Vlad was excellent to deal with as he was very quick to respond to calls and emails. I will definitely be referring them to friends and family! Great job guys!
Sebastian was an absolute pleasure! He was friendly, astute, moved fast but carefully, knew what he was doing, communicated well. 10/10 for Seb! As an ex removalist, it was awesome to have someone who knew what they were doing and had a good laugh while doing it. Pay rise for Seb ASAP
We used HomeMove for our recent office relocation. They were fantastic from the first interaction to the last! Punctual, efficient and nothing was too much trouble for any of their staff. Amazing effort and the price came in at something like $30 more than they quoted even though we had a lot more to move than initially thought. Can not recommend them highly enough.
HomeMove were a dream to work with. They had everything packed in under an hour, and were very friendly/easy to communicate with. Everything was transported securely and the whole process was smooth and simple. Will definitely hire again. Thanks!
Can't express how happy we were with HomeMove Removalists. They were friendly, hard working and so careful with our furniture. They plastic wrapped all of our light coloured and fabric pieces and used heaps of blankets and mats for our furniture so that nothing was scratched or dirty. They provided us with a heap of Port-A-Robes so all our clothes went straight from the wardrobe to those which made it so quick and easy to move our clothes. It was a stress free and enjoyable day despite having the pressure of a same day settlement. I highly recommend them.
We had a really great house move experience with the Home Move team. The guys were calm, professional and friendly, and so efficient that they finished way earlier than anticipated! It could not have gone more smoothly. Thank you so much.
Was extremely happy with the service from HomeMove. The guys were professional and very patient under extenuating circumstances. They took great care and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
Great service, great communication up to and during the move, reasonable charges. Friendly team.
