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.

on Sirelo

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.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that our team’s training and organisation made your move seamless. Handling a first-floor to first-floor transition requires a specific rhythm, and we’re glad we could get everything wrapped and moved without a single item missing or damaged. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew! Team Biddulphs

A very professional agent came to assess the shipment and was always available providing updates all the way. The driver too was very professional and mature providing updates all the way.

Moved from Johannesburg (South Africa) to Harare (Zimbabwe)

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We are so glad to hear that our consultant and driver provided the level of communication we strive for. We believe that staying 'available and providing updates' is key to a stress-free move, and I’ll be sure to recognise both of them for their professionalism and maturity. We appreciate your business!

Cost effective as they were able to offer door to door experience using a groupage (shared sea container) rate.

Moved from Cape Town (South Africa) to Mount Lawley (Australia)

Thank you for the review! We’re so glad our groupage (shared container) service helped make your move more cost-effective without sacrificing the convenience of a door-to-door experience. It’s one of our favorite ways to help clients save money while still ensuring their belongings are handled professionally every step of the way. Enjoy your new home! Team Biddulphs
