The job involved two pick up points at opposite ends of Canberra and a delivery to the Tuggeranong area. They arrived spot-on the time they said they’d arrive and the team of three were professional, charming and took great care with all the items being moved. I was especially impressed at how they managed to manoeuvre a very steep stair-case at the destination address. Nothing was damaged and nothing was too much trouble for them. An excellent experience.”
