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

There was no communication the week or day before the move. Most people answering the phones in the offices are rude and disrespectful. The offloading was more than eight hours late, with no communication to me. When I called, the person said he would find out what was going on and get back to me, but he never did. I called again, and he promised to find out and return my call, but he never did. On my third call, security answered and said everyone had knocked off and no one was present. After more than eight calls, I finally reached [Name removed by Sirelo], who helped me with the driver's contact details. No apologies were offered afterwards by operations or customer care. The men doing the actual work are fantastic. It is a pity they cannot receive their own review. The team of [Name removed by Sirelo] from Johannesburg and [Name removed by Sirelo] from Bloemfontein were exceptional. They were caring, helpful, efficient, and friendly. But the people handling client communication have made the moving experience very stressful. Because of them, I will never recommend Biddulphs to anyone!Read more

The team on the ground. The team loading and offloading.

Fantastic service from all involved. Great communication. Expected some unavoidable breakages but whole load arrived unscathed. From packaging team in Joburg, to delivery team in Perth, they made a potential stressful process, absolutely seamless. Thank you all!

What a wonderful review to read! Thank you for trusting Biddulphs with your relocation from South Africa to Australia.

Best Start Baby NPO extends our sincere gratitude to Biddulphs for their outstanding service and generosity. From the moment we approached them, the team was professional, responsive, and willing to help. With no hesitation they acted immediately. Their staff ensured the safe and stress‑free transportation of our hospital‑grade breast pumps at no cost. They communicated with us every step of the way.
These pumps are more than equipment they help mothers provide life‑saving breastmilk to vulnerable babies. It is refreshing to work with a company that combines professionalism with genuine care for our communities and the organizations they serve.
Thank you, Biddulphs, for your kindness, professionalism, and commitment to making a difference. We highly recommend your services and are truly grateful for your support.
