HQ let us down - no bed to sleep in
We arranged to have our things moved from Sydney to Northern NSW. I was told that my things would arrive the next day later in the afternoon. Based on this, we planned to set up our bed as a first priority later on arrival day. However, it appears that the driver and assistant were booked with too much to get done in one day. We had a call from the driver in the afternoon saying that he was very tired and would not be able to make it that day. This caused us a problem, as we had no where to sleep. I booked us into a motel and then sent the bill...Read more
for $117.30 to HQ, only to be told that I needed to read the small print (they actually referred to this) and they 'will not be held accountable' for late arrival. Put this in the context that I paid $1930.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Do Not Use This Company!
Do not use this company! They quoted me for 2 hours and took 9 hours. They quoted me $350 and charged me $1200. They put a hole in my wall, tore the legs off my dining table while loading onto the truck, dropped my couch from the truck onto the street and tore the fabric off the frame, dropped 2 drawers of a chest onto the street and damaged both, scrapped a white bookshelf on the street and damaged my outdoor table in 10 different spots. I tried to contact the office manager all day with no response. Finally contacted another manager and him a...Read more
nd I agreed that I would not pay for the job until they called me to discuss the whole ordeal and reimbursement. The drivers left several of my items on 2 different levels of my building and 2 storage cupboards on the street. They went ahead the next day and charged my credit card without my permission. In excess of 15 calls, text messages, voicemail messages, emails and photos and no one called me calling me back. I finally got through to someone after several days and the manager Verity told me that they will not respond to me and will not do anything about the damaged furniture. Currently sitting with Department of Fair Trading. I've already been told they don't have a leg to stand on.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Horrible. Unauthorised charge and they stored credit card information without permission.
Starcity Removals stored credit card information without my permission when I paid $100 deposit, and made unauthorised charges on my card even before the end of the removal service. They charged me 8.5 hours of work (including call out time) without permission at the 6th hour and refused to communicate when I asked them. The removalists took advantage of this unauthorised charges to slow down their work progress when they could have done it faster. In the end, only 8 hours of work was done (including the call out time) and Starcity Removals refused to return the extra half an hour charge. The two removalists were careless, and made a big dent on the side of my fridge and also left obvious scratches on my tiles.

Great service and very professional
Highly recommending this company if you are seeking a removalist company. James and Michael were very helpful and professional.
No furniture was missing and nothing was damaged during the move. I was very happy with everything!!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
We’ve had the worst experience moving with them. Some of our stuff was missed and some damaged. Despite telling we received someone else’s boxes there was no response. IRRESPONSIBLE and INCONSIDERATE

Highly Recommended removers.
When looking for a suitable removalist company to move our 5 bedroom house from Central coast NSW to Victoria we extensively researched several companies and obtained multiple quotes. I found star city removals to be slightly more expensive than some other companies but the difference in price was so small that it was inconsequential. The service I received from Verity made the difference in choosing star city.
My biggest worry however was how reliable the removalist would be as I have heard some horror stories in the past about other companies...Read more

Great service
I had to reschedule the move last minute and they easily did so for me, no fuss. They moved a large 2 bedroom apartment (including fridge, dining set, couch and queen bed) halfway across Sydney in amazing time, they arrived exactly on time and were done in about 3 hours from start to finish. No damage on the items or the apartments, everything wrapped up and the bed disassembled and reassembled in place. I didn’t have to do a thing. I have a back injury from a previous move that expected me to do half the work on each end, so it was such a relief to leave it in their hands. James Troy and Jacob took care of everything, they were great.

A great start, poor service, refused to reply to requests
After going through an on-line truck hire website, various emails and short-listing three trucking companies, I chose StarCity Removals to ship about 6 m3 of boxes, a kayak and a long bundle of bamboo (all up 10 m3) about 800km from the North Coast to Sydney. My son drove up to bring me back to Sydney. We loaded up my son's car and waited for the truck to arrive - it arrived over three hours late and after dark, had no loading lights, didn’t know about the kayak and bamboo on the order sheet (and photos had been supplied) and couldn’t fit the...Read more
m in. After jiggling with a small kayak off my son’s car and cutting the bamboo, the cargo was finally squeezed in, and we were on our way. StarCity then debited my account plus a surcharge before the truck arrived, even though I had pre-arranged to pay cash to the driver (they did refund promptly though). Loading/unloading the truck was very easy - on and off from/to a flat surface about 5m away. I asked the company to review the contract price, then they would not answer emails. After going to Dept of Fair Trading, the company offered to pay a token refund, but never did when I didn’t agree to not using social media.

Beware! Beware! Beware!
I had a recent removal with StarCity Removals for a 2 bedroom apartment job from Melbourne to Brisbane. Aside from the initial booking and the full prepayment I made, nothing went according to plan.
When they arrived they spoke to my building manager and said they had a 12 meter long truck and they couldnt fit it on the street at the back of the apartment building and they drove off saying they couldnt collect my furniture.
I liaised with [name removed], the Sales Executive, who organised the booking and he advised it would need to be re-book...Read more

Fantastic move experience
We moved from Toowoomba to Sydney and StarCity movers did a great job. It was a 10/10 experience. Danny and Brenden were brilliant - they were punctual, competent, quick and friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better service. If I move again, I'll definitely use their services.

We have moved over 15 times and this was the best and easiest by far. Danny and Brenden were great. I recommend them.
4 bedroom house and we moved from ACT to Port Stephens. The move was on time and nothing was a problem. We had a lot of heavy furniture and moved into a town house.

Extremely disappointed with service provided
We relocated from Brisbane to Newcastle and paid over $4000 for our move!! The removalists arrived on time and were working well. I wasn't well and had to be rushed to hospital with post surgery complications within the first 2 hours of their arrival. This meant that my partner had to stay in Brisbane with me, instead of driving to Newcastle. He had to give the keys to our house in Newcastle to the removalists and trust them to unpack without us. They were paid to put beds together and place furniture and boxes in correct locations.

Star City Removal is Terrible. Never go with this company
I relocated from Brisbane to Victoria with this company. I got a ripped sofa, scratchy fridge, damaged vacuum cleaner and lost my white board. I asked to transfer my car, after payment I didn't get a proper response in terms of my car location, when I receive it. They are so rude and always harsh on me. They are so unexperienced and unprofessional. With this company, you will loose your money, stuffs and at the end no response from them. They just want money, and don't provide a good service. Terrible company. going to lodge my claims through the other agencies.

good removalists, questionable head office
I will start with the positives,
-the 3 guys they sent Brendon, Garry and the short stocky guy with brown shaved hair were excellent at their jobs and good blokes.Cant speak highly enough of them
-our goods arrived in the same condtion as they left
NEGATIVES
-we weren't informed of what time they would be arriving til the night before and for an interstate move when a lot of planning needed to be done on our end that was no where near enough notice.
-head office debited our card on 2 occasions with out consent. Illegal and unprofessional.
Not sure if id recommend them based on the uncertainty of not being informed earlier and having time to adequately plan

Fast services
I did a removal from my unit in Melbourne to Sydney. It was booked in pretty much last minute but was done overnight which is great. I will recommend to friends & family for their removals.

Friendly and professional service
Starting with Verity with her friendly prompt replies to Danny and Ben who treated our possessions with the utmost care and respect that made our move stress free.
They were so helpful with the placement of our items, it was such contrast to another company that we had used in the past.
Their professionalism is a credit to them and a huge asset to StarCity.
Many thanks to such wonderful service.

Friendly and always keep me posted
Ben and Adam were great! They make my move from Canberra to Melbourne so easy (around 30 boxes). They picked the boxes late but they told me earlier enough for this change so it's all good. Arrived on time and finished in an hour. Helpful and friendly people. Sarah who was the initial contact to confirm this job was nice as well, efficient and professional. Thank you once again for all your help.

Excellent Service, and Professional
We moved locally last Wednesday (29/05/19) with the help from both Chris and Jai at Star City Removals. Found them both to be very friendly and professional in assisting with the move. They worked through their own lunch time to ensure that we were moved into our new place so it gave us time to set up before the girls came home from school. There was no damage to any of the furniture and always were able to find a solution to the 'problem' if the furniture was unable to fit into the house. We are grateful for their professionalism and expertise. I would recommend them to anybody wanting to use their services and will be using them again the near future.
