Can I use plastic tubs or supermarket cardboard boxes when moving?

Supermarket boxes tend to break or squash with the weight as they were intended to transport the items stated on the box. The lids on the plastic boxes when stacked on top tends to break making them unstable during transport. We understand that you may need to use them but it is best not to pack breakable or important items inside these.

Hi Kylie. We would just like to thank you and your three wonderful workers who did such a great job for us. It was a hot day but they remained cheerful and pleasant and got on with the work. They were careful of all our goods and particularly careful with the piano and electronic organ for which I am very grateful. We also appreciated them taking the extra items through the side gate and down the yard to our daughter’s house. We couldn’t have found better service anywhere I am sure and the price was very reasonable. We are very happy to recommend your company to anyone needing a removalist.

Thank you Janice for taking the time to write the such a lovely review of your experience with using our services. We are so glad our team were careful with the piano and organ as well as the rest of your belongings. We hope you are enjoying your new home and getting settled in.

As we all know moving house is a very stressful time. Greater Newcastle removals arrive on time and started work loading a full 3 bedroom house worth of funiture and around 200 boxes of household items. sweat was pouring from me with anxiety as they started work. I very quickly realized that I needn't worry, as I saw the care and diligence taken by the 2 men. Nothing was a bother as they negotiated moving it all into the truck, With great care and efficiency. A 600 km drive to the destination with my precious and often fragile goods as per, pre arrangement to two different destinations. Where I live and to a storage facility. The same care and friendly disposition at the other ends. Nothing was to much trouble. I am so grateful and appreciative. I can't recommend enough. I hope I don't need to move again but if I did, they'd be the first I contact. Tony and Greg.

Thank you for your kind words Tony and Greg. It was a pleasure moving you both and glad our team completed your removal with care and in an efficient manner. Thank you again for taking the time to review our services, we greatly appreciate it.

Greater Newcastle Removals where the best removal company I have ever dealt with. Very reasonable with the pricing and communication was fantastic. Driver phoned a couple of times to say were they were and what time they would deliver. Cant recommend them highly enough!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Sue, we really appreciate it. Glad your removal went well and our driver kept you well informed of its progress.

Dont move with this company. Damaged multiple items after our carefull packaging but had to replace a bed frame a tv stand and heaps more but thats not the worst part. They have damaged the unit I am living in and ripped a hallway light off the wall and left exposed wiring and cabling with a broken light and a hole in the plaster. I have tried multiple times to contact them its not been nearly 2 months after they asked me to obtain quotes to fix it. I have called every few days to be told they will call me back to still NEVER get a call back and to be told theres no one available to speak to about it. Now im left with $500+ dollars of repairs because of there carelessness.

Have responded to your other reviews that you have left on other sites previously Apologies for the damage caused to the unit by our contractor, he unfortunately was meant to cover the damages however we have since rectified and paid on his behalf, as he is no longer a contractor of Greater Newcastle Removals.

Booked a backload with Greater Newcastle Removals, had issues around the pick-up date, the date and information on the paperwork and what they have said since are at complete odds. When I called to ask what went wrong and why they tried to give me less than 5 hours notice to pack, I was hung up on. The manager told me my issues were ridiculous and left a voicemail suggesting I should be careful what I write in my review. This company won't apologise or even acknowledge when they make a mistake. Not worth your time or money!

Thank you for your review however there are a lot of facts that are missing. Firstly you booked your Backload removal through Palmview Removals who then subcontracted the work to us. Please note you did book a backload removal and backloading is when we have a truck coming through your area and this truck was running 1 day ahead of schedule. You were given 3 options , 1 - call Palmview to reschedule another truck that suited you as they were the company you booked with, 2 - have the removal picked up by us a day earlier, 3 - cancel with your removal with Palmview and go with another removalist. You opted to have the items picked up a day earlier. Due to the fact that we picked up your job a day earlier you were not charged for us to pull your bed down, or the additional walk that the removalist had to walk and there was also no parking so they needed to double park in order to even load your removal on. You were not given 5 hrs notice as the drivers tried to call you after lunch the day prior to them picking up and you did not return their call for hours, and you once you returned the call you opted to be picked up the following day. Therefore you were not given 5 hours notice to pack the 5 plastic tubs on your list.
