Sirelo asks...

What makes your company stand out?

As a privately owned, independent company Biddulphs has a business philosophy of providing clients with an efficient professional service at an economical cost. Operating for over 98years, we have a strong and solid foundation with well trained staff and a reliable fleet. As the largest independent movers in South Africa, we aim to offer the most competitive service in the industry and can reach almost any corner of South and Southern Africa by road directly door to door and not subcontract.

What is your insurance policy? How do you deal with damaged items?

Unlike others in our industry who may only offer GIT with limited cover, Biddulphs offers all risk cover for domestic, office and international removals. More information is available on our website or one of our friendly consultants can assist you at any office.

What is the best advice you would give to customers?

It is important to thoroughly research your chosen removal company. We highly recommend researching past and current performance and independent reviews. Financial risk is also important when you pay for your move and we highly recommend you choose a strong stable company such as Biddulphs that goes through regular rigorous stress tests (e.gg. FIDI FAIM accreditations) and standards (e.g. AMOSA, BAR, IAM, ISO) checks to ensure we remain a leader in our industry.

Big Thank you

Biddulphs International -Thank you!

We recently relocated from South Africa to Australia, and we could not be happier with the incredible service we received from Biddulphs South Africa. From the very beginning, when their team came to professionally pack our household goods, the service was outstanding. Every single box and item was carefully wrapped and packed with great attention to detail.
Our container was shipped in the first week of January, and everything arrived safely at our home in Australia in perfect condition. The team here unpacked our boxes, removed the protective packaging from our couches, chairs, and tables, and made the entire process so much easier for us. We also appreciated that they left certain items packed in boxes, such as books and things we do not currently need.
One item we were especially worried about was a large glass tabletop. Biddulphs built a custom wooden crate for it, and we were amazed and incredibly grateful that it arrived completely intact without any damage.
Nothing was lost or broken during the move, which speaks volumes about the professionalism and care of the entire Biddulphs team. A huge thank you to everyone at Biddulphs South Africa, as well as the staff and agents in Australia who handled everything on this side. Your service, communication, and professionalism were truly exceptional.
We can highly recommend Biddulphs South Africa to anyone planning an international move. Thank you for making such a stressful process such a pleasant experience!

We have used Biddulphs over 45 years and 10 home moves and the recent move between Cape Town suburbs was as excellent as all others and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Biddulphs for the friendly, attentive and professional services provided throughout.

Quote was well priced. The guys arrived on time and as usual the move was done in excellence.
We have used them about 5 times now.

It ended up being the worst business arrangement I have made to date. The movers damaged a few items beyond repair. The persons dealing with the claim make up all sorts of nonsense to avoid paying the value of the items which were included in the insurance. The back and forth has gone on for weeks now and I am appalled by their responses to date. It makes no sense and it changes to fit their pocket alone. This after paying a huge sum for insurance. I cannot recommend this experience to anyone.
