I recently had the pleasure of hiring A&R Removalist Company to assist with my move into a new home, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their exceptional service. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free moving experience. First and foremost, the team at A&R Removalist Company was incredibly professional and courteous. They arrived promptly on the scheduled day, ready to tackle the task at hand. Their friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, and I felt confident that my furniture was in capable hands. The movers demonstrated an impressive level of expertise and skill throughout the entire process. They handled my belongings with the utmost care, ensuring that each item was properly wrapped and protected. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail when it came to fragile items, as not a single piece was damaged during the move. What truly set A&R Removalist Company apart was their efficiency and organisation. They worked diligently, wasting no time in loading and unloading my furniture. Their strategic approach to packing the truck maximised space and minimised the number of trips required, saving both time and money. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to complete the move without compromising the quality of their work. Furthermore, the communication from A&R Removalist Company was outstanding. They kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring that I was aware of their progress and any potential delays. Their transparency and willingness to address any concerns or questions I had made the entire process even more seamless. Overall, I cannot recommend A&R Removalist Company enough. Their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service truly exceeded my expectations. Moving can be a stressful experience, but thanks to their hard work and dedication, my transition into my new home was made effortless. If you're in need of a reliable and efficient removalist company, look no further than A&R Removalist Company. They are the epitome of excellence in their field.

Very friendly team Packed our house neatly into containers for rail shipment AR price was a little higher than a Brisbane offer but We chose AR as a local operator and were pleased that we did so And we are pleased to recommend them for any Cairns move We are now awaiting delivery and trust that the offload will be handled in the same manner by their Brisbane partners Thanks Kevin and Kerri

Cassandra Blyth
A&R Removals Townsville provided friendly and helpful initial contact over the phone. They took the time to refer to information provided on my online moving form in order to clarify any areas that were needed so as to ensure a smooth delivery. After the initial phone call, I felt very comfortable and reassured that the delivery of my overseas shipment would be professionally delivered to my home. The delivery staff were very professional, friendly, communicative, focused and fast - I will definitely choose A&R Removals Townsville should I need support with another move in the future, as well as, confidently recommend their services to others.
Mitch Kirgan
These guys were very receptive for organising the painful process of moving home. On the day of removals, the crew were very professional and even better at the job. Caring for my furniture, taking the time to dismantle and protective wrap, especially that of my large table, bench and hall table.

The guys turned up on time, where polite & courteous at all times. They were amazing at packing the container & took care with the removal & packing of our furniture prior to loading. The end result was that all our household goods where packed ever so tightly into the one container. Tetris has nothing on these guys, honestly.

I used A & R removals in May 2023 to move me from Mission Beach to the Depot in Ipswich. These guys and girls are amazing. Best removals company Ive dealt with in my 30 yrs of using removal companies. Professional, prompt, flexible, affordable and super friendly. Don't even consider anyone else waste of time. The manner in which they dealt with me on the actual day of moving was like a dream! I think I proposed to one of the guys I was so grateful! Like knights in shining armour they arrived in their big truck to take my stress away. Ray gets a personal shout out! Your amazing and thank you for helping me to start a new life with as much ease that was possible. From the very first call you were my help whenever needed. Amazing. They don't make humans like this anymore Im sure. Thanks team your all-stars!

Sandra Walden Pearson
The incomparable removalist company! From Deb in Accounts to Darren, Operations Manager, AR made moving (a typically stressful experience) seem seamless. AR goes the extra mile consistently - for this company, that's just BAU. For the person moving, it is a gift. And George? He is a Legend - truly a Superstar?? AR is in control every step of the way. In AR I placed my trust and confidence. AR proved it could not have been better placed. George, Darren and Deb: incomparable individuals who constitute an incomparable team. AR is truly the incomparable removalist company.

Our move with A and R was seamless from beginning to end. Roxy in the office was always on hand to answer all our questions and with a complicated move with some things going to store and a piano we were impressed that everything got to where it was meant to go and was packed perfectly. All the boys packing and moving at both ends were easy to communicate with and professional. Will definitely move with you again. Thankyou Services: Moving-related packing , In-state moving

Straight upfront about costs and conditions. Truck arrived on time. The driver asked exactly what I wanted and did it.

Just wanted to thank George and Josh for their down to earth friendly professional attitude. We had some large heavy furniture and they carefully manoeuvred each item so as not to damage either the walls of the house or the furniture. They assessed and wrapped each item correctly for storage. We were very happy with their pre-planning on how to efficiently move everything and their inventory of items.

Packing and Uplift: Townsville 31 Jan 2019 The two lads who came to prepackage everything were absolutely brilliant. They treated everything with respect and were very efficient. They assisted me with knowing what I could and should pack. They did it all with great humour. ???????? definitely a double thumbs up! A big thank you to Matty and Scotty! 1 Feb 2019 This was the day these guys went above and beyond. Despite it being 100yrs extreme rain weather event they packed everything quickly and carefully. They put a lot of effort into keeping everything dry and were extra careful with the furniture moving around doors and hallways. They kept up the good humour and kept my spirts up when I realised that we were moving house in a crisis monsoon wet times. They showed how utterly awesome they were when I had to go drop the car off at the trade-In only to discover I had a front flat tyre. In biggest Townsville rain ever these three guys changed my flat for me when I was just about to throw the towel in. Our house is on a hill so without blocks the car rolls back and twists the jack. These guy got out in the pouring rain, sorted that out and changed the tyre and made jokes so I wouldn't loose spirit. They got everything sorted and allowed me to get going to the car drop off. Then they went back to moving furniture right away! Absolutely Legendary! Biggest thanks to Matty, James and Chandler. We would definitely recommend A & R Removals Townsville because their team go above and beyond for their customers.

I used A&R Removals Cairns to move me to Brisbane and everything went very smoothly. When I decided to move back to Cairns , I had no hesitation to A&R to do my move back and also I decide to use them for storage of my belongings for 9 months while building a house. Nothing was a problem and their rates were very reasonable. Thanks you , great job and the staff were excellent

Moving is stressful and you guys made it easy. No one else local replied to my requests for booking availability and you called me back promptly. I even got to speak to a real person.

No phone call to advise 24hrs before arriving. Rang when 5 minutes away. Goods not received yet, so I won't comment on packing or transport.
Ana Slav
Took a little too long even though I packed most items
Anais Coker
The movers were great. But there was poor communication, lack of information, I told them it was a first time using a removalist and no guidance was given during the process. No timeframe or anything. I was told during the quotation that it will take only 3/4 days to move from Cairns to Brisbane, and after my furniture was taken they told me my delivery date was 2 weeks after. So not 3/4 days anymore. We had already traveled to Brisbane with my one year old and had no furniture, we had to spend more money on hotel, which we had planned for a few nights but not two weeks. When the furniture arrived, after emailing them to tell them that our drive way was too small and they could park outside they still came with the big truck (the movers didn't received the information) which didn't fit in our drive way and had to wait a whole extra day for them to have a smaller truck. Which we had pay another night at the hotel. The movers in Cairns and Brisbane were great, quick and hard workers, very nice and professional. It's just the lack of communication, guidance and miscommunication between what it is said in person and what's said in an email that have created a lot of trouble and extra spending.
Tania Pascoe
Thank you for your flexibility with our uplift. I know we made it harder than it should have been with all the extra items. Unfortunately dropping and damaging my treasured piano is not a good memory and forgetting my kitchen fridge in the uplift topped off a very stressful day. However I did appreciate you arranging the pick up of the forgotten fridge so quickly.
Nick Nesbit
Shawn james
Like most removalist, in a hurry and not being careful enough with our furniture
Emily Burt
Utilised A&R to move some large furniture from one suburb of cairns to another. No plan or timeframe was ever communicated with me, and follows up had to be instigated be me. When asked about time frames was told they'd call me back and they never did. I understand some computer problems may have been impacted usual service. Bit pricey for what I needed - but was on a strict time frame. Everything was moved in one piece.
Scott Bass
Jon Symes
As one should, I requested three quotes for my transfer of household goods from a lockup to my home garage. The disparity in the five quotes that I ended up getting was surprising considering that the distance between both properties was only eight kilometres. I based my one star rating not on the A&R service but rather based on finding their quotation more than double that of the successful bidder, who incidentally performed the work professionally and without a hitch. I therefore noted that they, on this occasion were "Too expensive".
Cindy Thwaites
We paid extra for a shipping container to avoid our possessions being loaded and reloaded during inter state move. This was a waste of money as our belongings were still unloaded and reloaded during the journey and our fridge and new barbecue were badly damaged along with several other items arriving with scratches, even the enamel lid of washing machine has a large chip. This would have needed quite a bump to achieve. The manager in Cairns doesn't care and just said we should have taken out insurance. Insurance should be for if the truck has an accident or fire. It should not be required to pay for carelessness by their staff or contractors. I will be lodging a claim with QCAT tomorrow. Very disappointed with this company and would definitely not recommend them to anyone. Service: In-state moving

Not very good very late broke my stuff and will not answer the phone to fix it
Andrew
Terrible. Disappeared for 3 hours mid move. Very slow. Complained the whole time. Said they'd pick boxes up, never turned up. Cannot recommend less
Ken Oath
Ive had to use them a few times with my moves for work. Something always gets broken. Little thought goes into the unload. 100kg of gear on top of a microwave, dents and scratches on white goods. Really really really disappointed AGAIN with the service. I wouldn't recommend them to an enemy.
matthew howard
Had a guy come around to quote me to move internationally, everything was all good and I was happy with the verbal quote so he said he would put it to paper and have it to me in the next week. After several calls I was still promised it was coming the next day. It was two weeks when I decided I need to get another company to step in. The other company was able to give me a door to door quote within 2 days. It's now 4 weeks since AR promised me a quote that they new was urgent. I leave in two more day and I still haven't gotten anything back from them despite my calling them to enquire. What a Joke of a company. Not to mention lady who answer the phone is never professional. Moving is stressful enough, then to deal with you clowns.
John Davies
Can't take us too far!! Too far to come down from Townsville for a quote (one hour drive) four other companies did. ??
