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. 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 moving valuable household belongings. An established removalist understands how to safely transport everything from delicate antiques and family heirlooms to large lounges, dining settings, whitegoods and bedroom furniture.
  • 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, property access and any oversized or fragile items requiring extra care.


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 any preparation required before the truck arrives.
  • 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 that will care for your belongings as if they were their own.
  • 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.

Moving out of home as a teenager can be very stressful, especially if it is because of any negative relationships with parents/siblings. It is, therefore, extremely important that you try not to make any irrational decisions when it comes to moving out at a young age. We are here to make sure that this does not happen, as we want what is best for you and your family by providing some simple tips for moving out as a teenager. Firstly, make sure that moving out is the right move for you. Are you going to be able to afford to live by yourself? Have you organised to move in with anyone else? Are you ready to move away from your family? These are the types of questions we recommend you’re asking yourself before booking with us, in order to avoid the possibility of having to move back home shortly after moving out. It is also important that you communicate with your family and with us regularly to ensure that the move goes as smoothly as possible. This includes figuring out the planning and budget side of things early, so that you can book with us with plenty of time before the move, in case you change your mind about being ready to move out. Lastly, here at Borgas, we are willing to help, so in case you have any questions regarding the move or if you need tips, feel free to give us a call at 8351 0046.

Are you looking to move house this summer and are not sure what to do with your pets? Here at Borgas, we’ll provide you with some simple and helpful tips on what to do with your pets during what can be stressful times. Firstly, it is important that you organise a place your for pets to stay if you do not wish to travel with them on the moving day. This can either be in a shelter, with friends or even with family. It is also important that you speak to your local vet for any recommendations of Veterinary Practices near your new home. Another important thing to remember when moving is to keep your pets (especially dogs and cats) away from the removalists when they are completing their job. It can become a tripping hazard, and when carrying heavy objects, there is a potential that someone, including your pet, may get hurt. Lastly, when moving homes, it is important that any information regarding phone numbers and addresses is updated on your pets’ microchip. This is something which should be planned in advance to the move, as it will minimize the option of having to think about it during the move. It is also important to make sure that your new home has adequate fencing surrounding the home, otherwise there is a possibility that your pets may get lost.
