Price's Removals & Storage Launceston
The crew — Nick, Brodie, Dwayne and team — gets named by customers on almost every job for careful handling and working fast under pressure.
The office side is a more mixed picture: Cathy earns specific praise in several reviews, but four separate customers describe difficulty getting calls returned or emails answered in a reasonable timeframe, which is enough of a pattern to flag as a genuine risk rather than a one-off. If you're booking a move with logistically complex timing — interstate, remote coordination, or a bridged settlement — it's worth confirming communication turnaround times upfront and getting your quote and any delivery address details confirmed in writing before the move date.

About Price's Removals & Storage Launceston
With roughly 26 years operating out of South Launceston, Price's Removals & Storage handles both local Tasmanian moves and interstate work — including Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia runs — with on-site storage between settlements when dates don't line up. The crew that customers name repeatedly tells a clear story: Nick and Brodie are the faces of most residential packing and loading jobs, praised specifically for speed and careful wrapping; Dwayne is the standout for heavy furniture handling and turns up on interstate delivery days almost as often as local ones; Jesse and Aiden are frequently mentioned on multi-person jobs requiring stairs or difficult access; and Kristian draws notice for proactively flagging pre-existing damage before the truck leaves, which reviewers found reassuring rather than defensive. In the office, Cathy (also called Catherine) manages quotes, paperwork, and email correspondence and is singled out by name for making the administrative side feel manageable — particularly useful for customers coordinating interstate moves remotely or on tight timelines. The business suits people who need storage bridged between a sale settlement and a new build handover, those moving into homes with narrow driveways or heavy stair access, and interstate customers relocating to or from Tasmania who want a Launceston-based company handling the destination end.
Best for: interstate relocations to or from Tasmania, homeowners needing storage between a sale and new build settlement, and moves involving difficult access such as narrow driveways or multi-storey homes.

Does Price's Removals handle interstate moves, not just local Tasmanian jobs?+
Yes — reviewers describe moves to and from Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia, with Price's typically managing the Tasmanian end of the job. Several customers coordinating remotely (including from overseas) specifically note that the team handled the on-the-ground side without requiring them to be present. Interstate pricing and lead times are best confirmed directly, as availability can vary.
Can Price's store my belongings between my sale settlement and moving into a new home?+
This is one of the more distinctive things reviewers mention — one customer had their household items in Price's storage for over two months while a new build settled, and others describe split moves where pick-up and delivery happened weeks apart. If your settlement dates aren't aligned, it's worth asking specifically about storage pricing and whether they can do the full pack-store-deliver sequence, as multiple customers found this particularly useful.
Who will actually show up to do my move, and what are they like?+
The names that appear most in reviews are Nick, Brodie, Dwayne, Jesse, Aiden, and Kristian — you can expect a crew of two to five depending on the job size. Customers consistently describe them as punctual, physically careful with furniture, and straightforward to work with. Kristian is specifically praised in one review for flagging pre-existing damage on a fridge handle before loading, which several reviewers treated as a sign of trustworthiness rather than a problem.
What do customers say about Price's communication and admin?+
Cathy (also referred to as Catherine) in the office receives positive mentions in around eight of the fifty reviews we analysed, particularly for clear paperwork and email follow-up on interstate bookings. However, four reviews specifically describe difficulty reaching the business by phone, unreturned voicemails, and slow email responses — enough that it's worth setting clear expectations upfront. Asking for a preferred communication channel and confirmed timelines at the quote stage seems to be how smoother experiences are set up.
Is Price's able to handle moves with tricky access — narrow driveways, stairs, old Tasmanian homes?+
Several reviewers mention exactly this scenario and report positive outcomes. One customer describes a destination with lots of stairs and a narrow shared driveway, another an old house with tight access, and a third a difficult entry that the crew resolved by finding an alternative approach on the spot. If your property has known access challenges, it's worth briefing the office at the quote stage so the right truck size is assigned — one review notes a large truck arrived when a smaller one had been requested, requiring a rebooking.
