I have used Moving Mates twice. The first time was 3 years ago, they could not have been better, I gave them a well earned 5 stars. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, we were moving again. I automatically called up Moving Mates, unfortunately this move did not go well.
The first move was harder, we moved from a steep block to a steep block, the second move was from steep block to flat block.
The first crew fully loaded the truck and minimised driving time, this new crew barely filled the truck, wasting time on more trips.
The first crew were very skilled and really active, the new crew required a lot of direction and ambled about slowly.
The first crew moved boxes and all our stuff including outdoor, garage and shed things, the new crew moved no boxes, moved most of our internal furniture but not our washing machine and a few other things. They didn't move anything outside, in the shed or garage.
In the end they moved much less stuff AND they charged me more. I can not recommend them any more, they did a poor job moving far less for more money.
I have tried to communicate with them on this but the owner (Joao Damiani) has ignored most communication, he only sent me 1 email saying they did a good job.
great experience: DJ and Mark were very professional, everything went super smooth. highly recommended.
Approximate cost: $550
Today DJ and Andrew moved me from Banks to Greenway - it was tough going and quite a big job. They were very friendly and efficient. They took excellent care and had respect for my belongings. Nothing was too much trouble. If I had to move again I would definitely use them and I won't hesitate to recommend moving mates to my friends. Marilyn.
The movers were quick and efficient and moved me in minimum time, was happy with the service, no negative comments so would recommend to friends if they needed moving service.
The guys were really careful with our furniture, they went upstairs disassemble beds and were very friendly. On delivery the beds were reassembled and was easy. Would recommend them anytime.
Our move days was the hottest day and we found the movers to be very friendly and helpful with our move.
Glad we didnt have to do all the heavy lifting was well worth it
I moved home and found the moving guys to be friendly and professional. I didnt have a problem with Moving Mates service and would recommend them to friends and family.
They were great, no issues at all,
We were very happy with everything Moving Mates did and will be already using again for another move soon.
Our move was made easy by Moving Mates and we found the removalists to be on time for our Interstate move.
Happy to recommend them
Hi Guys. I have been very impressed by your service.rnFirstly you contacted the sender, Ben, to check when he would be home for you to pick up the bullbar.rnSecondly, you then contacted me with a competitive quote, and promised me that the bullbar would be delivered early this week. Your boys did all that and I have the bullbar, so I am 100% happy with your service.rnThank you so much. If I need anything in future, or my friends do, I will happily recommend you.rnAgain, thanks.rnRobert

Hi Chris,
You have been spoken to on serval occasions regarding your cancelation breaching our Interstate terms and conditions. We do our best at Moving Mates to work around any changes to bookings as we understand circumstances can change how ever your booking was made over 6 weeks before hand and last minute cancellations over easter weekend has left us with no other option.
Please feel free to contact our office should you have any further concerns.
kind Regard
I tired many times to get a refund which they owe still $1500 they have constantly said they would negotiate only to go silent or make excuses and cannot be trusted..A lot of the positive reviews seem a bit fake
The guys are very helpful and provided a great service, we are really happy with the move and would use again.
Thanks again Moving Mates

We moved from Sydney to Melbourne and with such a big move we had some worries about our furniture, but the guys at moving mates were really great !
They were ontime at pick up and carefully wrapped all my items and in kept in close contact with me when they arrived in Melbourne and where even waiting for me to arrive which i really appreciated!!
This is a great company and we have recommened to our frineds who have already used Moving mates as well and also very happy.
High recommend
Moving Mates guys were extremely helpful and assisted through the move in an efficient and polite, friendly
I really appreciate all their hard efforts and great customer service.
I have used Moving Mates a couple of times in the past few months, the service is great and boys are fantastic !
They are on time and never any damages which makes things stress free
Great Service, well priced and really friendly guys
They arrived at the correct time and took care with a few fragile that are irreplaceable to us.
We were really happy with move !
The service was amazing the guys were on time and really efficient. Everything was done according to the plan. In the past we used another company that didn't work out as well as Moving Mates, so now we are very pleased.
The move was good, the original guy who was supposed to help us was changed and the new one did an excellent job.
Everything with the movie was excellent, very gentleman the two guys and helpful too. The only suggestion I would like to say is more feedback between the Moving Mates team and the customer after the move.
The guys took all my belongings without any damages, they took care of fragile and delicate things. Making sure that the move was complete in a professional way.
The guys worked very well and fast, we were fascinated with their services. Thank you to all the Moving Mates staff.
I definitely recommend their service. All the 3 guys were efficent. We had a lot of things to move and took them nearly 3 hrs to load but they were relentless.
Thanks.
This happened to me as well. When I started to question what was happening I get an aggressive message from Joao Damiani demanding immediate payment.
I will never use them again. They are not professional movers
