What Makes a Great Removalist Company?


Choosing the right removalist can make all the difference between a stressful moving day and a smooth, well-organised experience. Whether you're moving across Adelaide, relocating to another regional town, or moving interstate, selecting a professional and reliable removal company is one of the most important decisions you'll make.


At Borgas Removals and Storage, we understand that every household move is unique. We specialise in the transport and relocation of household furniture and appliances. Customers are responsible for packing and preparing their belongings for collection, while our experienced team focuses on safely picking up, transporting and delivering your furniture and appliances. With decades of experience servicing Adelaide and regional South Australia, including the Riverland, the Iron Triangle and the Eyre Peninsula, we've helped thousands of families relocate safely and efficiently.


We specialise in moving household furniture and appliances and do not transport business equipment or commercial office fit-outs.

Here are the key qualities to look for when choosing a removalist.


A Strong Reputation and Positive Customer Reviews

  • One of the best indicators of a quality removalist is what previous customers have to say. Online reviews, testimonials and recommendations from friends, family or local businesses can provide valuable insight into a company's professionalism, reliability and customer service.
  • Look for consistent feedback about punctuality, care taken with furniture, communication and how any issues were resolved. Even the best companies occasionally face challenges, but what matters is how quickly and professionally they respond.
  • At Borgas Removals and Storage, we're proud to have built long-term relationships with many repeat customers throughout Adelaide, the Riverland, the Eyre Peninsula and surrounding regions. Much of our business comes from referrals, reflecting our commitment to providing exceptional service on every move.


Experience You Can Trust

  • Experience matters when it comes to transporting valuable household belongings. An established removalist understands how to safely pick up, handle, load, transport and deliver everything from delicate antiques and family heirlooms to large lounges, dining settings, whitegoods and bedroom furniture. Borgas Removals and Storage does not provide packing services, so customers should have their belongings appropriately packed and ready for collection before our team arrives.
  • Borgas Removals and Storage has been providing professional household removal services across South Australia for more than 30 years. Our experienced team handles local, regional and interstate household moves, ensuring your furniture and appliances arrive safely at their destination.
  • We also provide secure furniture storage solutions for customers who need flexibility before, during or after their move.
  • Our long-serving staff are another reason customers choose Borgas. Several of our drivers and removalists have been with us for more than 10 years, bringing valuable knowledge, care and consistency to every relocation.


Transparent Quotes with No Hidden Costs

  • A trustworthy removal company should provide clear, detailed quotes that explain exactly what is included in the price.
  • Unfortunately, some companies advertise low prices only to add unexpected fees later for services such as additional labour, difficult access, stairs or extended travel times.
  • At Borgas Removals and Storage, we believe in honest, upfront pricing. We take the time to understand your moving requirements so we can provide an accurate quote with no unpleasant surprises.

To help us prepare the most accurate estimate, it's important to provide as much information as possible about your move, including the volume of furniture and appliances, property access, and any oversized or fragile items requiring additional care during transport. As Borgas does not provide packing services, furniture and appliances should be packed or prepared for collection by the customer before the removal team arrives.


Professional Communication and Customer Service

  • Moving house can be stressful, but excellent communication helps reduce uncertainty and keeps everything running smoothly.
  • From your first enquiry through to moving day, your removalist should be responsive, informative and willing to answer your questions. A professional team will explain the moving process, arrival times and what you need to have ready before the truck arrives. At Borgas, our service is focused on picking up, transporting and delivering your household furniture and appliances. We do not offer packing services, so customers need to have their belongings packed and ready for collection.
  • At Borgas Removals and Storage, we believe great customer service starts with listening to our customers. We work closely with you to plan your move, answer your questions and ensure your household furniture and appliances are transported safely and efficiently.


Insurance and Peace of Mind

  • Protecting your belongings during a move is an important consideration.
  • While Borgas Removals and Storage carries insurance for our vehicles and employees, we recommend speaking with your home and contents insurer to confirm whether your belongings are covered while in transit.
  • If you're storing your furniture with us, we also offer insurance options for goods in storage. Our team is happy to discuss the available cover and help you choose the most suitable option for your circumstances.


Why Choose Borgas Removals and Storage?

  • Choosing a removalist isn't just about finding the lowest price—it's about trusting a team to handle your household furniture and appliances carefully from pickup through to delivery.
  • With more than 30 years of industry experience, professional staff, transparent pricing, secure storage options and a strong reputation across South Australia, Borgas Removals and Storage is committed to delivering a stress-free moving experience from start to finish.
