Use another removal firm
We used this company twice after they were recommended to us. First experience was excellent hence we used them again to move our stuff back to our renovated house. The second experience couldn't have been more different. They arrived late, persuaded me to take an extra worker (who they just happened to bring along) to speed things up and then took much longer to do the same job in reversal. The guy in charge was very rude and had no reasonable explanation why the same job cost me over $500 more than before. The management couldn't have been less concerned when I complained. Just a dreadful experience that left us feeling awful and totally ripped off. There are plenty of other removal firms out there, use one of these...

Disappointed
Moved in early December 2017 and had two laptops go missing in the move (3 bedroom house, same suburb), not recovered - I lost two years of baby photos of my son. No one from management ever called me back, even just to express their concern or empathy. I had to call repeatedly just to get them to check and confirm that they hadn’t been left behind in the truck “by accident”. Very disappointing experience, would not recommend.

Ripped offMelbourne
- Verified customer
I have never felt so ripped off in my life
Absolutely disgusting. It was a large house move (5 bedrooms, 3 living areas), and furniture was in storage for 4 months in between houses. Original quote was for 7 containers. I was charged for 8. When I asked why they would not give me an answer. Then they said any containers over 5 was charged at more than the 75.00 rate.... What??? Have you ever bought 5 of something, and had to pay a higher price for the sixth seventh and eighth??? Then they tried to charge me a higher rate for all the containers. They blatantly try to rip you off. Also c...Read more
harged a higher rate moving it back in. I had a quote for the move, and they just made up prices as they went along, they did not reference the quote. First they did not take off the deposit from the price of the move, said they would take it off when I moved it from storage. Then when I moved it out of storage, I had to pay another 100 deposit, and they also refused to take that off the account. It took phone call after phone call to get the deposit back. I have never left a review on the internet, but they were blatantly ripping people off. Please Please read the bad reviews, you know they are not made up. Anyone can post a good one (including them.....) On a positive, the guys who did the work were friendly and hard working. Please, if you do one thing this year, make it using another removalist besides Shelley..don't take any notice of the lovely girl at reception who gives the quotes, you won't deal with her again once they have your business... its the horrible people you deal with after that will make you wish you had never used them... please read through the reviews.. the bad are sooooooo bad.. its all about getting ripped off, i can handle bad service, but not being stolen from. Happy to put up the email from them if you want to read it.... it shows how dishonest they are.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Dishonest, Arrogant And Scared of VCAT
Furniture removal (for 3 bedroom home) was from Point Cook to Point Cook.
I was billed inappropriately, the charges were not as per Shelly's email confirmation.
The total of overcharge was $210.00
1. The hourly rate was changed from $114.00 to $128.00.
2. A $25.00 toll fee was charged but there was no toll involved.
3. A 2% credit card surcharge was applied to debit card transaction.
4. My deposit of $100 was not deducted from the total charge.
I communicated by email with Shelly Removals for two months in attempts to recover the overcharge. Replies from Shelly were arrogant, and the information provided was scant. Shelly scoffed at my notice of intention to lodge a complaint with VCAT.

They overcharge and are slow terrible experience
After being quoted by email and by phone we arranged for a 9am move, yes they were an hour late and pretty slow after 2 hours the truck was loaded with our i bedroom furniture and i was asked if i would like to pay cash or card, i handed over my card which was charged before i had chance to ask the cost. Being quoted $95 per hour plus $270 for storage i had already paid $100 deposit i was charged another $928 big shock and was told that i would get an itemised account that i could question. Alas after 6 emails and 2 phone calls no itemised acco...Read more
unt has been forthcoming what a disappointment..after 7 days i received an itemised account it was a 2 hour unloading of the house and 3 and 1/4 hours to get to storage and unload it plus petrol levy etc gst nothing like the quote indication. Would I recommend this company? No way, absolutely not, terrible.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Long long delay
Scheduled to arrive between 1 - 3 pm, ended up arriving at around 7 pm. I rang up several times in the intervening period and got responses that were either misleading (will be there in 30 - 45 minutes) or did not shed any light on when they will be arriving. I realise that my job was a 'small job' (2 hours) but if they find such a job uneconomic/low priority then they should either refuse to take it on, make the minimum price higher, or be honest with the customer in advance about possible substantial delays spanning many hours.
Having said that - the actual removalist employees (two of them) when they arrived were very good. They were careful and courteous, and I certainly do not blame them for the delay.

Terrible - didn't turn up!
We waited over 3 and a half hours and they never turned up. I ended up postponing our move which was a huge inconvenience. Very disappointing and frustrating.

What a shame
EDITED REVIEW
Upon receiving an amazing service from Shelly (see review below), I was excited for them to move my girlfriends home too thinking we would be impressed again.
The experience was night and day I'm sad to say and Shelly really dropped the ball on the second one. It seems obvious now looking at these reviews of excellent and terrible and I now know why they don't allow comments or reviews on their facebook page.
In trying to rectify the situation, Shelly aren't very interested now that they have our money.
Such a shame and a let down to their staff who do a great job, fingers crossed they realise and work for someone else.

Is this a removalist company or a scam?
Booked in for 1-3pm pickup for a three bedroom house. At 3pm with no word from them I called to find the what was happening. The office staff said there was a delay and that she would get back to me in 10 minutes; 45 minutes later I called again as she hadn't go back to me. Numerous calls during the afternoon resulted in them saying they don't have communication with their drivers, that they would get back to me (and never did). I had to leave at 5pm to relieve the Carer I had organised for my Mum who has dementia. I requested a refund on ...Read more
my $100 deposit and they said they would but a week later I am still waiting. No communication, no service, no apology for stuffing me around. I am starting to wonder if the whole thing is a scam. Avoid this company at all costs.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Couldn't have been more smooth
Moved a two bedroom house. Was organised for 2-4pm, but Shelly's called me to see if I could do it earlier on the day, the communication was great. They called to organise a quote quickly, and the two guys on the day were helpful, professional and pleasant. Everything was loaded and unloaded quickly and with care. Would definitely recommend.

Still waiting 2 hrs later
I am absolutely disgusted by this company. I booked a removal hrs 12-2 however as I write this review at 4pm I am still waiting. No customer service. Not a single call from the company to state they would be late. When calling I was told they would be 1 hour late and due at 3pm however at 3.30pm still no follow up call or men to move my house. It is now 4pm with not a call from customer to tell me where my drivers are. I have taken a day off work to accommodate this move. Absolutely fuming. The lady that I called on numerous occasions was rude, miss informing and absolutely shocking at providing any for of customer service.

I recently had Shelly Removals relocate my belongings to our new house, and I couldn't ask for better service, they were fast, punctual, and I had no damage to my property. I would thoroughly recommend them.
