Not sure if you live outside metropolitan.
They have a couple of their own big reliable trucks. Tough men who get the job done.

I agree, I bet alot of them actually review themselves.
Any business can review themselves, that is why we should all take the time to leave a review for a company when we have a good or bad experience. This way is there are 10 reviews for a removalist and one is outstanding while the rest are terrible, it becomes pretty obvious.
I too used Epping Removals, didnt move very far either virtually next suburb, Darren turned up on time to come and quote the job and the 2 guys who did the job turned up on time 8.00am and had our whole house inside and out packed up and delivered to our new house by 1.30pm. They were really nice guys and would highly recommend them (I am in no way affiliated with them) just was really pleased with their service, you have so much to organise when getting out of one place and moving into the next that it was a stressless experience and happy to recommend them.
We will be using them again in the next couple of weeks, it was the best move we have ever had. I havn't booked them yet,
