Faith from the Cairns office was a pleasure to work with, she coordinated everything without any trouble, kept us informed of progress at every step. She made a stressful situation seem trouble free and easy. Thank you.The pick up crew arrived as scheduled, a keen and professional crew who quickly got the house packed up into the container, as was the crew who delivered our household items at the new residence. Everything was unpacked and placed where we asked without fuss or... damage.Considering Covid-19 restrictions preventing interstate travel, the move from Queensland to Tasmania was made very simple, timely and good value for a reasonable price.read more

Terry and his guys did a awesome job getting my gear relocated to remote Queensland Island. The delivery came a week early and one the easiest moves I've had to organise. Thanks for the help. Will recommend to everyone.

Faith in the office, and the 2 young removalists who loaded our stuff in Cairns couldn't have been more helpful or careful . Every item was wrapped in a clear bag and labelled and itemised then wrapped in removalist blankets . I met the truck here , on the Sunny coast and the process was just as careful and thorough . Everything ( that I've unpacked ) is intact and fine . It was a wonderful and reassuring customer experience , I can't recommend Greater Northern Removals more highly .

This company is fantastic. From the beginning they introduced themselves with friendly smiles. They were prompt and more importantly very careful with your furniture. They wrapped everything even stuff that I'd already wrapped in plastic. The guys both in cairns and Grafton were polite friendly hard working and professional. I have moved a few times and no company has measured up to this company. I can't recommend these removalist high enough.

We recently used Greater Northern removals for our move from Cairns to Brisbane. They were the only company that actually bothered to come to our home and make a correct inventory of what was required. They were responsive and professional at every step, we were very happy with the move and would highly recommend them.

We used Greater Northern Removals a few years ago, and knew they had great service so we contacted them again.Same great service from the team in the office, quick quote turnaround and the delivery men were on time, efficient and made us laugh the whole day. It made the arduous task of moving a little less awful! Lol. Thanks again for everything!

We moved all our furniture and car from Palm Cove Cairns to regional Victoria.The price was excellent at least 20% less than dome other big operators. The service was quick and very professional. Everything went to schedule and a very happy ending for us.If I move again it will be with Greater Northern Removals. FIVE STARS.

Asked around and GNR had a good reputation. From first phone call, we felt confident. David was excellent in guiding us through the process. The team who picked up our furniture and the team who delivered were both really careful and we could see they knew what they were doing. The teams were also very cheerful as they went about their business. A very stress free process. Thankyou GNR. Stephen and Gayle, ex Cairns.

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
