I've moved more times than I can remember for work and never once have I ever given a review about the removalists but these guys are next level. What has become the norm was removalists that take their time to run up the clock so it costs more, and then I call Gold Coast Local Move and I get a completely new experience. Rob and Tai rock up on time and are the two friendlist blokes you'll ever meet.
They had the truck loaded up in 30 minutes (including dismantling two beds and some other furniture) and the same time to rebuild everything at the new place. That though was only part of the experience

Rob and Tye, the A team, were fantastic.
Moved from Robina to northern Gold Coast. Best value ever, would not consider anyone else for moving.

Rob and Ty (the A team) arrived exactly on time, were very friendly and courteous, never stopped working and we had a great move. We highly recommend them and would definitely call on them again if needed. Jan and Colin Clarke - Hope Island Resort to Halcyon Green.
