What Our Customers Say

Jonathan and Julian are my mover today. They both are so great even let me in to their truck. Chatting and teamwork as well is really good with both of them. I hope everyone have a great day and I was so happy with the service. I would totally share it with my friends since it also saves up time, and worth every penny. Thank you!!! Ray Gunawan

I’ve just recently moved from my unit to a house. After 25 moves ( I was in the Army) this was the smoothest most professional job I’ve ever had. We also hired the packing services for our kitchen/dining room & the ladies were fast, fastidious & ensured nothing was broken at the other end. The actual moving team was the best. Again nothing damaged or broken from 2 truck loads & quite difficult access with lots of stairs at each property. Joao, Felipe & Fernando were polite, hardworking, careful & very helpful. If I move again I would want this… Stephen Edwards

Booking was simple, Chris, Chris and the entire removal team were super efficient and professional on the day. Nothing was too hard. They disassembled and reassemble everything with precision. They moved some incredibly heavy items with finesse. A pleasure to deal with. Warren Jacobson

Highly recommend. Entire process for my recent move was a breeze, from the admin staff to the packers themselves. This was all handled expertly and at very short notice, as I was only in town for a limited time to pack up. They even arranged some boxes for me, even though that isn't a standard service offer in Brisbane anymore. Genuinely impressed and will use their services again. Thank you to all! G Williams

I highly recommend hire a mover!!!! Yesterday we started moving at 12:00, two men were very strong and efficient, pushing six 104 liter boxes at a time on a trolley. And they have very good protection to every inventory, TV and mattress and all wrapped with bubble wrap, cling film and blankets layer by layer very well. It's worth mentioning that when we arrived at our new home we found out that we needed to move things from the truck to the ute in order to get down to the garage via ramp (this was due to my negligence).

We used the Brisbane service and the boys were so efficient and friendly and strong! They can life an eggchair by one person, and they know what they are doing. No hidden fees, no bullshitting or messing around, efficiently loaded all our stuff faster than we expected! Also the manager Rueben in Brisbane is super friendly and easy to talk to Olivia Yu

My second time using Hire a Mover and I would totally recommend them to anyone, personal or business. Fabulous customer service and reasonable prices. I also love the environmentally conscious approach. Most importantly, my belongings were moved safely and efficiently and I was less stressed by the process !! Sylvia Pam

This is my third time using Proficient Removals/Hire A Mover, and every time it's 5 star service. Booking with Rubens was easy, and Felipe and Guilherme on the day were fantastic. Moving day was scheduled to be 95% rain, but nothing was an issue for the guys. They worked quickly to get the furniture moved in, keeping everything covered/protected. 100% recommend them! Claire

Claire

Brilliant. We undertook a large renovation on our house and it involved both internal and external painting. The painting is absolutely faultless and has completely transformed the house. Anthony provided invaluable advice when required and he and Jason were thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to deal with. They always cleaned up at the end of the day and left no mess. There is one last stage to go and they will be back early next year when we get to it. Thank you so very much for making what could have been a difficult process smooth and manageable. Juliet

Just moved places from Croydon to Marrickville in record time. Started at 8am, and all done by 12pm. These guys are unreal. Diego and Gui (I’m sorry if I misspelt your name!) were awesome, professional, and great to have a chat with. Would highly recommend. Quinlan Semenetz

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Bookings may be cancelled or re-scheduled more than 24 hours before their start time without penalty. Bookings cancelled within 24 hours of the start time are not eligible for a refund or re-schedule and will incur the full fee.

Do you supply boxes and packing materials?

Our packers do not bring boxes or packing materials. These need to be supplied to them by you. Should you require this, we can provide all necessary equipment. We have different packages for different-sized homes, and all packages are discounted by 10% when purchased in conjunction with our packing services.

Our packages include appropriate quantities of boxes and packing materials for homes of all different sizes.

Boxes and packing materials are delivered Monday – Saturday. To check delivery availability times, click here.

Who are the packers?

Our packers are well-trained mature ladies that are experienced in packing and unpacking homes. They are friendly, polite, and professional; and all have passed police checks.

Is there a minimum booking?

We have a minimum booking package of 2 packers for 4 hours. This can be used for either a pack or unpack and costs $680.

How long should i book

Every property is different and therefore have different packing and unpacking time requirements. However, as a rule of thumb:

2 packers can pack / unpack 32-40 boxes in 4 hours (a typical kitchen plus 1-2 other rooms)
3 packers can pack / unpack 60-75 boxes in 5 hours (a typical kitchen plus 3-4 other rooms)
4 packers can pack / unpack 96-120 boxes in 6 hours (a typical kitchen plus 5-6 other rooms)

Can I add extra time?

Yes. You’re able to add additional packing time above our minimum package of 2 packers for 4 hours. Additional time may be purchased in increments of 15 minutes, and will be charged at $85 (incl. GST) per packer per hour.

Additional time may be pre-purchased or requested on the date of the pack/unpack (subject to the packers’ availability). We recommend pre-booking if possible to avoid disappointment.

When should I schedule my pre-move pack or post-move unpack?

We recommend scheduling your pre-move pack for 1-2 days (for regular homes) and 2-3 days (for large homes) before your moving date. We recommend scheduling your post-move unpack for the day after your move.

These timeframes ensure you’re able to utilise extra assistance if required, and that your move is completed without obstruction.

Do I need to be home?

It’s strongly advised that someone be home for the arrival of the packers. Our experienced packers are more than able to get the job done independently, however, you or a nominated person should be available via phone in the event that there are any questions.
