Rip off. Inexperienced movers go slow and hide broken furniture
Do not be fooled by fake reviews! Google this company!! Google CityMove which is their other company name.
Moving a 3 bedroom house 5km distance. They started on time. Finished only with the employment of additional hired Airtasker workers from 3/4 of the way through in double the pervious move time.
The two inexperienced young men turned up, moved at a snail's pace, used the lift to raise one bag into the back of the truck at a time. I received a small concession on the hourly rate but had to pay Airtasker people and organise friends to c...Read more
ome and complete the move in twice the quoted time. On top of that, they broke a number of pieces of furniture and then hid them under boxes so I wouldn't find out until I was unpacking. Very slow response from corporate which ended up with "We will ensure they get training on how to do their job better". What a joke! It looks like their CityMove website has been taken down, but All About Relocations is still up and operating. I hope that they have closed up shop. As their service was just appalling!! They also got fined twice in 5 years for making fake reviews. https://www.smh.com.au/technology/australian-removalist-company-citymove-fined-for-posting-false-online-testimonials-again-20150730-giniyu.html https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/removalist-company-pays-penalties-for-alleged-false-or-misleading-online-testimonialsSimilar opinion?

What a waste of a good move
After completing a big move, the company blew any advocacy they had with me after failing to resolve a double billing of the job. I get it, sometimes you make a mistake, but after weeks of contacting the company (including the CEO), I received no emails or calls offering a solution to the matter. It feels like they just don’t care at all, so my recommendation is to find someone else who will care.

Efficient courteous service
The move was of a 3 bed house with a 15 minute drive between locations, starting and finishing on time.
The 3 removal men were excellent, hardworking, and careful, ensuring everything went to the right rooms all done with great courtesy and good humour.

Citymove Dodgy (Google it) DO NOT USE
https://www.smh.com.au/technology/australian-removalist-company-citymove-fined-for-posting-false-online-testimonials-again-20150730-giniyu.html
Apart from the ACCC fining this mob TWICE for fake reviews, (Google citymove dodgy), they were a disgrace to deal with. They quoted 4hrs for a job that they then took 8 hrs to do, doubling their bill. The "professional" removalists are backpackers, one barely able to speak English. Save yourself the pain and find another company.

Percy and his team were amazing
My lovely Citymove team moved my mum and I to a three bedroom unit in the Inner West of Sydney. Luckily, the move was not far, but still daunting for my elderly mum. The three team members were extremely friendly, polite and efficient. We were very thankful for their wonderful work and attitude. Definitely service with a smile. On time, fast and efficient. We would definitely recommend them.

Great service and prompt communication
I had to move a few items from one location to another. The service from Citymove was prompt, professional and highly competent. The items were accounted properly and transported safely.

Personable, Careful and Hard Working
4 tonne truck packed to the brim.
The guys did an amazing job!
Didn’t give up to get the furniture out with the extremely tight squeeze and was extra careful not to damage the property.
Appreciated the rush I was in to get to my son for daycare pick up and went the extra mile to unload.
Friendliness was also a bonus!

Couldn’t have been any better!
Sebastian and Diego were lovely, careful and professional and deserve a bonus for the effort they put in today. You wouldn't have a business without these boys; two best movers we've ever had. Arrived at 7am on the dot; they finished a 1 bedroom studio apartment on the third floor (no elevator) in under 3 hours. No easy feat!
Give these guys a raise.

Be warned
2 Bedroom move but with 3 pick up locations. City move was recommended by a friend. But it's not the removalists I am warning you about it's the customer care. I discussed the shrink wrap for mattress during sales call. It even says on its website one is included for free. On the day of the move there was none. Removalists said they don't have it. Called the head office and he says they ran out from the morning job 'but thinking of the dear customer we came to your job instead of getting a new supply'. But they had blankets which are 'not that ...Read more
dirty.' I explained to them it was not about the dirt but hygiene. Bed bugs rats who knows what has been on that blanket. During a subsequent call about another issue (see below) I mention this issue as it hadn't been resolved. Now they tell me my husband had permitted them to load with blankets eventhough they were sourcing the shrink wrapping so not their problem I was told. I ring my husband and he said he wasn't given a choice. It was getting loaded with blankets or not loaded. For my baby's mattress I asked my husband to put it in his car and bring it up. Not risking bed bugs or nasties for a baby. Then came the issue with our couch. During the initial call I asked them could they ensure or note on the system the removalists had to be those experienced with moving kings furnitures as I had been warned when I had my sofa delivered that not everyone knew how to move kings furniture. He said all fine as they are so experienced so no issues. Today the removalists tells me it's electric sofa so has to be disassembled. I said no. It came in one piece delivered by 2 people. No one is doing that to void my warranty on kings furniture. When I called the head office they tried to blame me for needing an extra person. I informed them I previously specifically asked them whether city move knew how to move kings furniture. Long story short short the customer service was happy to waive the waiting time for a third person to arrive to help with the couch and the fees for the third person. That was a nice touch. But how did the call end? It didn't end on a positive note. He kept on making excuses re mattress which I didn't want to hear. He said it wasn't his fault I was having issues with city move. Perhaps I was a little harsh as I wasn't happy with the move at all but a move shouldn't be so hard. So he told me me that he or the complaints team will check the initial calls to see whether I had discussed the shrink wraps and kings furniture in my initial calls. And I said please do so. I'll update the post when the job finishes and will update what I am charged. The pick up was at 1.45 at the third pick up and it's now 5.05. So if I was to move again which I'll do so I will not use city move as it had been extra stressful in addition to the stress of moving. Next time I'll take recommendations of a local ones or the owner operated and run ones.1 comment

Friendly & Efficient Team!
I am writing you an email to say a great big THANK YOU to your team for helping us prepare for the move from Artarmon to Ryde in Sydney on May 25, 2018. Tina was great in coming to meet with me to explain all aspects of the move and all of the packing materials arrived in good condition in plenty of time. On the day, the guys arrived on time and safely and efficiently took all of our furniture and crates downstairs. This was a stairs job at the old site so I would like to say also a big THANK YOU to Rodrigo, Thiago, Caio, and Wendel for doing s...Read more

Interstate a no-go
Had used previously for intra-city moves with no problems so thought I would give them a go for an interstate move.
Despite their website boasting they are interstate experts, the reality is for our move they subcontracted to another cheap removalist. Communication between citymove and the subbie was bad, and trying to get any information out of citymove regarding timing etc was very painful and limited.
Subbie only arrived at 7pm, causing us to change our travel plans with additional cost. Subbie arrived wearing thongs, didn't have any tools...Read more

Great service, fast and careful
Reasonable size move from apartment to apartment - added difficulty of busy complex and small lift/doors. Both movers were kind, efficient and effective.

Move went well. Boys did a good job
Manuel and Renan were brilliant. They did what it says on the truck, moved my stuff with care. They even had plastic wrap to extra protect my king furniture. third time using them - always happy. They aren’t cheap though, but I’d rather a careful move than broken things.

Vinny was excellent. He deserves a raise. He was efficient, friendly and strong as an ox. This is the third time I’ve used city move and can’t fault them.

Hello
I have sent several emails to citymove regarding a move on the 12/06/13. I have also left a detailed account of the events and incorrect noting of the insurance that I did purchase and all the items that were damaged in the move. I have yet to hear back. The customer solutions reply states a response within 2 business days.
Please advise of when I can expect to hear back?
Thanks

The move took 8.5 hours. The removalist took one 1.5 hour break and told us “we dont charge” but at the conclusion of the move they charged me and said talk to the office. And removalist also charged ... Read more
for that “waiting for the third person time”. He said cant do anything on his app so talk to the office. He didnt charge for the third person but that was only for moving the couch into the truck and off the truck - max 15 min as I was moving 5 min away in the same surburb. This is nothing compared to the “toilet” breaks the two removalist took 3 times with the other one just standing still. The removalists were very slow, taking calls numerous times during the move at which time both stopped what they were doing. And one of my DVD shelves did not get unloaded. Dont make the same mistake as me - CHECK THE TRUCK. They also transported my King furniture so badly that one of the pistons on the recliner came off. He did not even know where it came from and yet he was going to dismantle it initially. Lucky I didnt let him. And I have just found out he has ruined one of the drawers to our bed. It’s off the drawer rail it seems. So I cant open it at all. I wont use Citymove next time. And I will NOT recommend them to anyone.
