If I have an option I would have given rating 0.Think before anyone hire this moving company, Debra booked with Simply moving at 2pm infact I requested to send by 12pm she nicely said yes I will out a note and send that as requested but I got call on the day from Sima she said truck will arrive 2 to 4 on and also not which I have booked, that had a worst experience ever with this company service, removalist came 4:20pm made many damages, not professional at all and also took 7 hours just to move few prepacked items with in 650 meters distance. I never had such a bad experience ever in Australia. This company did not care about my concerns which I have raised few times in email. Never ever use this company. Even I said I will complaint to consumer court or legally this matter even Simply moving (Emma) team replied I can go ahead and do which means they never care about customer pain and also not willing to resolve issues. Even they manipulated invoice all damages are listed already which I am not aware. Not why these guys are in the Australian market doing business without professional manner. I will be taking these guys legally to resolve the issue.Read more

Very dishonest company
We got a quote for 135 per hour, the guys took 3 hour to do the work, 30 minutes before they finish moving everything the guy come up with the invoice for $610. My husband paid everything and try to contact the company and get some explanation. Why the price was so different from what they told us before.
My husband also paid 100 dollars as a reservation before the moving start.
We call the the company the lady in the phone. I believe she is the receptionist asked my husband to send a email explaining his issue because she wasn't able to resolve the matter. We sent the email, but I got no answer or explanation for what reason they were charging $ 710.
A few days after, we got back only $100 and explanation of anything.
I would never recommend this company to anyone.
Very dishonest people.

I rang and booked a removal with a different company, but when our removalists arrived it was in a truck for Shelly Removals. They seemed not to really know what they were doing, and there was a lot of faffing about and I'm not really sure how our move took 7 hours.
The removalists also put a hole in the wall of the house we were moving out of. Despite my housemate seeing it happen, they pled ignorance when I asked about it. There was even a sticker on the damage that made it look like they had tried to conceal it. I asked them what I should do and they said to take it up with head office.
At our new house, we had issues with the meter box and had no electricity. The removalists asked me to sign for payment, which I did... in a dim hallway. Despite me having asked about the damage to the wall, the removalists had noted on the page that there was no damage caused by them. They did not tell me about this. I had to request a copy from the office to find out.
When I rang to lodge my insurance claim, the girl who works in claims was supremely rude and unhelpful. She informed me that they would not honour our insurance claim, since we could have been the ones to damage the wall. This makes NO sense, given their policy that clients need to claim damage within 72 hours after the move. Why 72 hours if you're then going to say that the clients could have done it? They offered to pay a small sum as a gesture of goodwill, however, it was around 1/7 of the total cost of the damage.
The whole reason I didn't use someone off Airtasker or Gumtree was that I wanted good insurance - just in case. It cost me a LOT more than expected - in terms of the move AND my lost bond. In the end, I probably should have just used AirTasker.
Disappointing, stressful and expensive.

Booked 3 men and an 8 tonne truck as advised by Debra during the initial phone call. I overestimated my furniture so as to not receive a suprise bill at the end. Was quoted approx. 2 hours to load, 5 hours all up. Job took 7 hours and then they added on time because I went to get the payment (something I was initially told I could do because they would tell me half an hour before the job finished of the price). Furniture damaged, seal on our fridge ripped, expensive mattresses arrived dirty, sofa arrived dirty and informed the guy. He wrote it on the invoice/receipt. They left our large screen TV and other items behind and wanted to charge me to go back and get them. Furniture and boxes just shoved in rooms, tv's left laying on the floor, boxes broken and opened. They couldn't care less because they had another job to go to. I called their customer service twice on the day to firstly express my concern about the time it was taking (Debra told me it wasn't good enough and she would check with them why they were taking so long) and secondly to express my dissatisfaction of items being left behind and I was told to put it all in writing and attach photos of the damage which I did. Debra also told me that they SHOULD go back and get the TV and not charge me for it.
After this debacle, to add insult to injury we find out we are missing a carryon luggage bag containing Nike sneakers, our son's GoPro and other items which I alerted them to.
I received the following reply from Sima Vaknin:
'Thank you for your below email but you didn't pay the guys and they had to wait for another 30 min which we charged you for.
They left the items in the property that way as unfortunately you didn't want to pay the bill and called the office and abused Debra over the phone. Nothing was mentioned about damages and therefore we didn't do any damage'
I replied to this email from who I gather is the owner, pointing out that I had been overcharged, that there were damaged items written on the invoice and that I would prefer to resolve this privately without the need to go to VCAT I received this, again from Sima Vaknin:
'Please proceed to VCAT as you hold the guys for extra 30mins that you have paid for as you said you are going to the ATM and the guys waited for you.
At the end you paid for them waiting for you and at the end you paid on card...we are paying for this waiting time and charge it as well from you.
No damages were mentioned during the move and nothing was noted on the invoice about damages.'
DO NOT hire these people! All the promises at the beginning during the initial phone calls but at the end of the day you'll be out $$, your furniture will be damaged, left behind and stolen. Please find attached photos showing damage and the items I did initially notice damaged written clearly on the invoice...which has somehow magically disappeared from their copy. Edited to add: we are reporting the theft to VicPol.

Moving in my experience is one of life's major hassles. With the expert help from Shelly Removals we accomplished it reasonably well and I live to tell the tale! We moved in Jan 2015 in Melbourne. The guys from Shelly turned up on time and worked efficiently with good humour. I moved over two days using a smaller truck the first day with 2 men and on the second day had the 20 tonne truck with 3 men. On the first day I moved plants and outdoor furniture -garden equipment, basically everything from the garage and outside. The guys were really helpful and placed everything in the new house in the correct spots as I decided where they should go. The next day they moved the inside furniture which included heavy antique furniture, piano and some very large mirrors. It was my choice to move over two days as the distance travelled between the old and new house was not far was not far and eased the pain from my point of view. All arrived in perfect condition. This is the second move I have made with Shelly Removals and would use them again. I would highly recommend their services.Read more
