Buying furniture is exciting, but getting it home can be a real hassle. If you’ve just scored a heavy couch from Facebook Marketplace, finding the best furniture delivery in Brisbane can save your back and a lot of stress.

We’ve rounded up teams that know how to handle bulky items properly without the drama. Some also double as moving services, which is handy if you’re moving a full load instead of just one piece.

A few can even help move items into a self-storage space if your new place isn’t ready yet, making things way easier when timing doesn’t line up.

So here’s our honest look at the best options right now to help you get everything moved safely and simply.

1. Deliver ONE

Website: https://deliverone.com.au/

Area Served: Brisbane

Contact: 476 267 641

Hours: Open 24 Hours

Transporting big furniture can be a real headache when couriers just dump things at the front gate and leave you to deal with it. Deliver ONE makes it way easier by bringing your items inside your home, right where you want them. 

They’re a family-owned crew that handles everything from quick couch pickups to full office moves across the region, so they’re pretty flexible.

What’s great about them is that they’re fully insured and keep pricing clear. I actually used them last month for a heavy concrete table, and they did an impressive job. They took it apart, carried it in carefully, then put it back together in my lounge.

The only downside is that their delivery windows can be a bit wide. You might need to stay available most of the day. Good thing they send regular updates, so you’re not just sitting around guessing when they’ll turn up.

Lovely and communicated well

Pav was efficient to reply and quote. Reasonable price to deliver approx 30km distance from Daisy Hill to inner city Brisbane. Delivery people, Jieye and Jonah, were lovely and communicated well. Very easy overall. I would recommend them and will probably use them again 🙂

A professional delivery 

I can’t complain about the service I received today from Deliver One teams. My couches are so heavy and it wasn’t easy to lift them upstairs but they were able to do it. Pav is an easy going very professional person. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a professional delivery 🚚 they will never be disappointed with their service. Thank you so much for your service l will definitely contact you in future if l need a delivery.

2. Man with a Van Brisbane 

Website: https://manandvanbrisbanetransport.com.au/

Address: Unit 3/40 Rose St, Kalinga 

Contact: 431 316 304 

Hours: Monday – Sunday: 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Finding someone reliable to pick up your online marketplace buys can feel like a bit of a gamble sometimes. Man with a Van, run by Manuel himself, keeps things simple as an owner-operated service with no subcontractors involved. 

That basically means he’s the one handling your items directly. He’s got a roomy van, so he can move anything from a single chair to a full house load.

It’s also great that he’s got solid experience moving tricky stuff like pianos and big fridges, so awkward heavy lifting isn’t really an issue. And if you need it, he can even help with packing and supply materials.

I love that his pricing is pretty straightforward, with free quotes and no hidden fees popping up later. 

The only catch is that he only has one van, so he can’t take on huge volumes in one go. And same-day bookings can be hit or miss depending on how busy he is.

Careful with all my items

Manual communicated well throughout the process confirming arrival times, etc. He was careful with all my items, covering them with blankets. He helped me offload on the other side. I will use Manual again and I highly recommend him for any of your furniture removal or delivery requirements.

Our furniture was delivered safely to our new house

Manuel was friendly and communicative. He was prompt to arrive and loaded up the van with our furniture quickly and efficiently. He helped us get our fridge down our annoying unit block stairs and all our furniture was delivered safely to our new house. Thanks!

3. Optimove Removalists

Website: https://www.optimove.com.au/removalists-brisbane/

Address: Level 22, 127 Creek St

Contact: 1300 400 874

Hours: Open 24 Hours

Moving expensive or delicate items really calls for a team that knows what they’re doing, and Optimove leans heavily into that. 

They’re AFRA-accredited Australian Furniture Removers Association-accredited (AFRA), so they meet proper industry standards. They also stick to trained in-house staff instead of sending random subcontractors into your home.

Every job comes with free transit insurance and unlimited shrink wrapping, which definitely helps take the stress out of moving fragile stuff. 

My sister used them last summer when she bought a premium lounge suite online, and she said the 2-person crew was very careful with every edge and corner. Everything arrived without a scratch, which she was really happy about.

However, some customers have noted inconsistent handling on certain jobs, with a few cases of minor damage or missing parts. Others felt the jobs ran longer than expected, too, bumping up costs since they charge hourly.

The communication & delivery of service provided reassured me

First time using removalist I needed the extra hands to help move bulky & heavy furniture. Optimal scheduled Peni & David both very friendly & amazing men from start to finish displaying professional workmanship &  efficiency, they made the job look effortless. I would highly recommend Optimove. The  communication & delivery of service provided reassured me that my belongings were in good hands. I am very pleased to have used Optimove removalist, I would use them again.

Everything from the booking process to delivery day

Best removalist we’ve used in Brisbane to date. Everything from the booking process to delivery day. Special thanks to our removalist crew Hina, David and Loti! Great guys and were exceptional at ensuring the move went smoothly and handled our furniture with the utmost care. Will definitely use again in future.

4. The Van That Can Pty Ltd

Website: https://thevanthatcan.com.au/

Address: PO Box 39, Mermaid Beach 

Contact: 1300 826 226 

Hours: Monday – Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Choosing a transport team that actually knows furniture logistics can make a huge difference, especially with nicer pieces. 

The Van That Can is trusted by premium retailers like Freedom, Cult, and Coco Republic, so they’re used to handling higher-end stuff properly. 

They wrap items in double-padded blankets and custom plastic wrap at no extra cost, helping keep everything in good shape during the move.

They also go a bit further than just delivery, since they can assemble furniture for you and even handle rubbish removal on the spot. 

I love that you’ll get a 30-minute heads-up before they arrive, which is helpful so you’re not stuck waiting around all day. They’re also pretty flexible with jobs, whether it’s flat-pack pickups or second-hand Marketplace finds.

The downside is that there are occasional late arrivals and not much communication from the head office. And because they bill hourly, a few people have felt unsure about how time is tracked during the job.

The pick up & delivery were done very smoothly

Earlier this week, Rob & David from The Van That Can moved furniture & household items from temporary storage back to my home after some renovation work was completed.  The pick up & delivery were done very smoothly, items were handled with great care & the whole job  was given thoughtful consideration.  The professionalism, efficiency & friendliness shown by Rob & David were much appreciated & for me this made the process free of stress.

I have used The Van That Can previously for household moves & those experiences were similar so, I again thank this company & highly recommend it.

All courteous, thoughtful and managed the job well

We have difficult access for furniture delivery in our townhouse and The Van That Can fellows were all courteous, thoughtful and managed the job well. We would recommend them to any one needing the services they offer. We will certainly be calling them again to help us!

5. Shift Buddies 

Website: https://www.shiftbuddies.com.au/ 

Address: Unit 29/97 Creek St 

Contact: 411 713 380 

Hours:

• Monday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

If you’re the type of person who hates watching the clock while movers carry heavy furniture around, Shift Buddies might be worth a look. 

Their fixed quotes mean you know exactly what you’re paying upfront, so there’s no stress about surprise fees popping up later. 

They’ve grown into a 5-truck operation, which gives them the capacity to handle everything from bulky furniture to more delicate antiques.

What I like is that they can take care of almost everything in one go. They also offer packing and even rubbish removal.

They service regional and rural areas that many movers won’t touch, which is a big plus if you’re outside Brisbane. Plus, you can jump online and get a quick estimate before booking.

The main drawback is that they seldom inform clients about delays. A few also felt their jobs took longer than originally expected.

Delivered it and placed everything in its correct place

had the guys move us from nudgee to our new house at parkinson.

absolutely outstanding service from start to finish Marcus and zade were pleasant and very efficient turned up on time moved all our furniture with care and delivered it and placed everything in its correct place without any dramas or fuss.

He picked up late this afternoon and delivered tonight 

Matt has twice now provided absolutely amazing service.  The first time was a lounge suite and today was a desk which he picked up late this afternoon and delivered tonight  –  I only contacted him this morning about this job.  Matt and his team deserve every success with their business.  Highly recommend.  🙂
