We had Dave & Chris wall mount our 65 inch TV, with them supplying brackets & long cabling. We discussed bracket prices and installation cost over the phone but nothing about number of devices to be connected or cable cost etc. as I wasn't asked and personally didn't think it was important. Dave was immaculate in keeping us informed, extremely professional in his conduct and punctual in keeping appointment time. They did a fantastic job in terms of the wall mount itself and hiding cables, arranging the rest of devices as best they could so it appears neat. My own qualm is with the cost of HDMI cables ($40-60 each) and we needed 4. They told us the cost upfront when they arrived but when we offered to buy them ourselves, they said they'll have to charge us a 'callout' fees for this time and come back, which I feel isn't fair since it puts us on spot and make a decision with information we weren't supplied earlier. I'd have much rather preferred to have been given rough figures around costs (inc. cables) over the phone so there are no surprises on the day. My 2 cents - buy a 3m HDMI cable for every device you have beforehad and call them for installation. The quality of actual work is excellent.

We opted for a Sydney to Melbourne move including full packing plus backload transport service with these guys. Big Mistake! Our experience:

- No sense of punctuality or professionalism (drivers asked us to take delivery at 3 am in the morning after delaying it constantly since the previous arvo).

- Didn't bring enough boxes and complained about excess stuff. This is after their consultant did a physical home visit and provided a quote on the stuff upon checking everything.

- They hire sub-contractors (irrespective of whatever they tell you) who work back-to-back jobs for days in a row and are visibly exhausted, ultimately impacting how they handle your stuff. They even ended up calling random friends/family after one of their contractors claimed to 'have an exam the next day'.

- Damages: Massive cracks across TV screen, one panel for the chest of drawers broken, multiple dents/scratches on the refrigerator & bed, tower fan remote missing and numerous small broken items that arn't even worth mentioning in the scheme of things but add up significantly.

- Did manage to claim a minor portion of our damages, only because we hadn't paid in full before delivery. Turned out to be a blessing as they would've just refused to entertain anything if the payment was made in full.

- Faced repeated harassment on the phone while we took a week to assess damages. They even sent a person to our door unannounced as a scare tactic.

If you think moving home is stressful, try moving with these guys- will give you a whole new benchmark for stress levels. They claim to be operational since 15+ years but the way they handled our stuff proves otherwise. The ABN seems to be registered in Feb 15 too. The quote they provide might be cheaper than most other people but you end up paying with your stuff & immense amount of stress. I'd stay away! Feel free to contact me for more details and/or pictures of our damages.

Approximate cost: $2800

Clearly, the best Indian food I've had in Melbourne by a long shot. Travel almost 20-30 kms to reach here just for the flavour, variety and perfection to which meals are prepared. Overall awesome food.. Recommended!

Approximate cost: $14
