At A & R Removals, we understand that moving is one of the most stressful events of a person’s life. Hence, we supervise and coordinate with you regarding your move from start to finish.

You can tell us where you want the items, then we will collect the used packing materials and leave you to enjoy your new home.

Recently I moved from Victoria to Cairns. The removals King & Wilson in Vic arranged for A & R Removals to unload at the unit when my goods arrived in Cairns. Thank you to Steve and Patrick for the friendly and professional manner in which you carried out this work and for collecting the empty boxes some weeks later. I really appreciated all help given to me. Well done.

The incomparable removalist company! From Deb in Accounts to Darren, Operations Manager, AR made moving (a typically stressful experience) seem seamless. AR goes the extra mile consistently - for this company, thats just BAU. For the person moving, it is a gift. And George? He is a Legend - truly a Superstar AR is in control every step of the way. In AR I placed my trust and confidence. AR proved it could not have been better placed. George, Darren and Deb: incomparable individuals who constitute an incomparable team. AR is truly the incomparable removalist company.

Moving is stressful and you guys made it easy. No one else local replied to my requests for booking availability and you called me back promptly. I even got to speak to a real person. The removalists on the day were great, and assembled beds and moved furniture until I was happy in my new place. If I have to move again Ill be choosing you guys. Excellent work all round!!

Our move with A and R was seamless from beginning to end. Roxy in the office was always on hand to answer all our questions and with a complicated move with some things going to store and a piano we were impressed that everything got to where it was meant to go and was packed perfectly. All the boys packing and moving at both ends were easy to communicate with and professional. Will definitely move with you again. Thankyou

I used A & R removals in May 2023 to move me from Mission Beach to the Depot in Ipswich. These guys and girls are amazing. Best removals company Ive dealt with in my 30 yrs of using removal companies. Professional, prompt, flexible, affordable and super friendly. Dont even consider anyone elsewaste of time. The manner in which they dealt with me on the actual day of moving was like a dream! I think I proposed to one of the guys I was so grateful! Like knights in shining armour they arrived in their big truck to take my stress away. Ray gets a personal shout out! Your amazing and thank you for helping me to start a new life with as much ease that was possible. From the very first call you were my help whenever needed. Amazing. They dont make humans like this anymore Im sure. Thanks team your all-stars!

A & R removals were fantastic with my move from Mission Beach to Cairns. Well priced and very efficient with the both pick up and drop off. Great care was taken and all necessary furniture was wrapped, I didn't have a single broken or damaged item. The lads did an amazing job, even with the 2 flights of stairs at the drop off location! Highly recommend!

I used A&R Removals Cairns to move me to Brisbane and everything went very smoothly. When I decided to move back to Cairns , I had no hesitation to A&R to do my move back and also I decide to use them for storage of my belongings for 9 months while building a house. Nothing was a problem and their rates were very reasonable. Thanks you , great job and the staff were excellent
