ME & MY VAN FOR HIRE
Kev regularly steps in when other removalists cancel, and packs trucks with the care of a Tetris expert.
The strongest thread is Kev himself turning up on time, treating furniture carefully, and getting moves done fast, often rescuing jobs other removalists cancelled. Names like Tristan, Damien, Aaron, and Chris get specific praise alongside him. But recent ratings are genuinely inconsistent, with some five-star moves sitting next to angry one-star complaints about charging more than the written quote and damaging heirloom furniture. Four customers in this sample say the final bill exceeded what they were quoted. Given that, your best move is to get a fixed price in writing and ask how overtime, travel, and two-stop loads are charged before the truck arrives. A smaller number also report scratched or broken items, so take photos of anything fragile before loading day.

About ME & MY VAN FOR HIRE
Kev runs this as a true owner-operator outfit, and the reviews show it. He turns up himself or sends a small crew like Tristan, Damien, Aaron, or Chris. Reviews keep using the phrase Tetris experts for how carefully the truck gets packed. They rescue jobs when other removalists cancel at short notice, sometimes same day. The team works until the job is finished, including one move that ran to 8pm. A few reviewers mention never going anywhere else after using Kev multiple times. Recent ratings swing from glowing to angry, so the experience depends heavily on the day. The business handles local moves, interstate deliveries from storage, and tricky jobs with tight access or last-minute timing.
Best for: short-notice local moves around Ballarat, retrieving furniture from storage to a new home, and jobs where a careful pack means as much as a fast one.
