    wridgways all the way!

    really can't recommend them enough, between mum and I we've done hobart - townsville, townsville - sydney and brisbane - terrigal, never had a problem with them. always there when they said they would be, kept us up to date, delivered on time, nothing lost or broken..great great service.

    they turned up on the day disassembled the beds and large stuff, wrapped it all up, had the custom boxes for the tv's.

    i will be subscribing to this thread as my DP was offered a job in Qld but the company wouldn't offer relocating costs which was sort of ok seeing not all companies have that in their budget but then they asked could he take a $13G paycut before starting ... well DP didn't wanna work for that 'BIG' company

    having said that we are not ruling out moving there yet so would be interested to know a removalist when the time comes.

    We went through Transcorp, who basically coordinate a lot of smaller companies to get the best deal as far as who's going which direction. We ended up using Griffiths Removals through them, and they were just brilliant.

    ROFL yeh DP said no thanks i already earn more then that in my current job so why would i pay to move there ... and this a big company that makes massive money, what a joke (poor DP was insulted as he is brilliant at his job and certainly not desperate to leave his current one) !

    Efjay i'm so thrilled for you, lots of luck when moving there (wish it was me i'm soooo jealous, lol )

    Totally recommend Allied Pickfords. We just moved from country NSW to Alice Springs. Completely worth it for the day it took to pack (I hoiked heaps of stuff beforehand though), the insurance and the service.

    I used Grace to move interstate. I would not recommend them. My beautiful art deco hall mirror went missing.

    We now use Allied Pickfords every time. They are great. We get them to come in, pack, move and unpack to bench/floor level. Next time, if we can afford it, we might also get them to send in the ladies who put everything away in cupboards and make the beds.
