Moving On

If you’re reading this, you’re likely to have used a removal company at least once in your life. Whether it’s from country to country or just condo to condo, finding the right fit can take the pain out of moving. We asked readers about their removal companies, and why they recommend them.

Melissa McMaugh, Australian

Sir Move recently performed a local move for us – one that had some additional complexity. We needed to move into a smaller apartment on a temporary basis prior to our expected international departure, so the move involved splitting our belongings into two groups; those items that we would live with, and others that needed to be packed for export and stored in our unit.

The Sir Move team provided an excellent service from the beginning to the end, and they used an organised and methodical approach that was critical to the success of the move. I also have a special custom-made bookshelf unit that I was concerned about during the dismantling, moving and re-installing processes. Our move supervisor was wonderful; he took great care with this item, and even fixed the cupboard door fasteners that had been broken by our previous mover. I was very grateful to him, and I would recommend the team at Sir Move without hesitation.

Andrea, Canadian, and Alan Barry, Irish

We were moving from a condo to a landed property, and, as we have a collection of wine, fine wine glasses, artwork and some antique furniture, we needed a company we could have full confidence in. Alan also has a large collection of books that are heavy and a lot of work to move. We chose Allied Pickfords because of a friend’s recommendation, as well as their good reputation.
