The whole process was easy from start to finish. Firstly they actually responded to the online quote request. the others didn't and only responded to a phone request. Secondly the whole thing was organised to suit us by Faith. Thirdly the actual uplift and transfer of our goods was very professional, and efficient. the whole experience was first class - and they were very reasonably priced too. Value for money and outstanding service.

Had my household items recently shipped from Brisbane to Cairns without any hassel. Because of my busy work schedule in Cairns, I didn't have to be present at my storage unit in Brisbane to help with vacating the unit. All items and furniture were wrapped in protective plastic, loaded up and shipped on time. Everything arrived on time and still in perfect condition. Great value for money and would definitely recommend this local company. Have a chat to Faith who is based in the Cairns office, she will look after you and keep you updated/informed on everything you need to know. Thanks for everything Greater Northern Removals I can finally make myself at homeread more

Moved from Cairns to Normanton. Staff were super helpful and understanding. It was my first move and they made it easy. It was the most affordable and professional that I could find at the time of my move. Everything arrived undamaged and on time. Recommend to everyone!

Hi LaureThank you for taking care of my move. I was genuinely surprised about how easy it was to organise and how quickly it all arrived here. The guys who unloaded were great, helpful and careful. Loved the way you kept me informed as well. I'm settling in well and am more organised than I usually am at this stage of a move. No stress for me at all. Once again thank you for making it so easy. CheersDianne

I moved from Cairns to Brisbane and ended up being the customer from hell with an indefinite storage timeline and several attempts at short notice moves. The team were always willing to work with me, despite the challenges and constantly changing plans. My goods were in storage for over six months and it has been returned to me in excellent condition. I was really happy with the price and service received and I will definitely use GN/Chess for future moves. Thank you for making a really stressful process as easy as it possibly could be.read more

The GN Team that relocated us from Cooktown to Clifton Beach were a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism was excellent, very caring for our belongings and were very efficient. Value for money was excellent. We thoroughly recommend using Greater Northern Removals to move you. Gary and Jilinda

I purchased a large, very heavy table in Cairns. The thought of shipping it to the Gold Coast concerned me. I need not have worried as the service provided by GNR was terrific. Very professional administration and the table arrived on schedule in and incredible packing container/box. The delivery boys then took the container apart and assembled the unit for me. I am delighted with the whole experience. Thank you GNR!Duncan Forrest

We recently did a quite difficult move, resulting in 3 different destinations. The team at Great Northern Removals were amazing. They made everything so easy and went above and beyond what was necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend them if you needed a move up North.

The removalists went over and above their duties to help. A real pleasure to deal with Greater Northern Removals.

Highly recommended.I have moved many times in my life , and usually bigger jobs than this , so I have experienced the best and worst.The 3 guys seemed to work seamlessly together and the 2 young guys who brought everything to the room were obliging, polite and still had a sense of humour at the end of the job.There were no complaints and they were attentive to my need to get each box put in the right room in a tidy fashion first go.Our apartment is inside a resort we manage and I would be surprised if any guest even knew such a big task was going on around them as the guys were quiet and focused.The office was extremely accommodating when we kept changing dates for pick up,. for packing, for delivery - for which we were so grateful.Great experience all around – much appreciatedread more

In the past 29 years I have lived in Cairns I have moved numerous times due to renovating properties, selling and building new homes. The first time I moved I was recommended to GNR Removals and I have never looked back. Having moved over 15 times I have met many of the people employed by GNR Removals. I have always been treated with respect, known exactly where my move was up to and kept up to date every step of the way. I have had moves from 5 Bedroom homes to shed clean outs to office relocation's and they have always been on time and on budget. I cannot recommend them highly enough with my most recent move in October 2016 being the same professional and courteous service I received many years ago. I have recommended them to many of my clients, being in the real estate industry, and many have commented to me that it was simple, no stress and thanked me for the recommendation.read more

I have used these Guys to move me locally, and relocate interstate several times over the last 15 years. My services have ranged from a simple pick up of all my goods, through to a thorough wrap and pack of everything from silverware to my fine wine collection. I have "ALWAYS" been extremely satisfied with their service and rates, and would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone. Furthermore, I have indeed passed on GNR's details to many of my friends, who in turn have had the same effortless experience as me. Keep up the Great Work Guys, service, value for money and caring for your clients is what you're all about!!Ray LamariBusiness OwnerCairnsread more

This is the second time we have used Greater Northern and again, care was taken with our personal belongings when being packed and loaded on pickup and unloaded on re-delivery.Staff at both locations were very polite and did the job in as short a time as was possible while taking care.Again thank you Greater Northern. We have already and will recommend GN to others.
