Choosing a moving company is never just about trucks and tape—it’s about trust. Your belongings aren’t just “stuff.” They’re pieces of your life: that couch you splurged on after your first big promotion, the bookshelf full of your childhood reads, your dog’s favorite blanket. So when it’s time to move, you want a team that treats your things like more than just cargo. Girls on the Move does just that.
Do They Show Up on Time?
Yes. Every time I’ve used Girls on the Move, they arrived early, not just on time. One reader, Lisa from Bryanston, shared how she booked them for an 8 a.m. slot and by 7:45, they were parked outside, ready with gloves on. There’s something reassuring about knowing a team takes punctuality seriously—it tells you they’ll respect your time and your plans.
Are They Careful With Your Belongings?
Let’s get honest: anyone can load boxes. The real test is whether your things arrive in the same condition they left in. When I moved from Rosebank to Melville, Girls on the Move wrapped every mirror, lamp, and picture frame like it was headed overseas. Not a single item scratched or broken. They even flagged a box that was improperly sealed (my fault), fixed it, and labeled it clearly—no rolling the dice when unpacking.
Are They Professional but Personable?
Yes—and this might be what sets them apart most. From the initial phone call, you’re dealing with people who get it. They understand moving is stressful. You’re juggling everything from utility transfers to saying goodbye to neighbors. The crew chats with you, explains what they’re doing, checks in as they go. You’re never left wondering where your stuff is or what’s happening next.
Do They Offer Transparent Pricing?
You’re not looking for a cheap move—you’re looking for value. Girls on the Move is upfront about their pricing. There are no surprise surcharges for stairs, parking, or “extra care” (which should be standard anyway). One reader mentioned getting a written quote that matched the final invoice exactly. That shouldn’t be a luxury—it should be the baseline. With them, it is.
What Do Their Reviews Say?
It’s one thing to take my word. Look at their Google reviews: five stars nearly across the board. But don’t just skim them—read them. You’ll notice a pattern. Words like “efficient,” “friendly,” “respectful,” and “organized” come up again and again. When dozens of people independently use the same language, it’s a sign you’re onto something solid.
Do They Handle Moves of All Sizes?
Not every move is a three-bedroom house. Sometimes you’re moving a studio flat or just a few items. Girls on the Move doesn’t give you the cold shoulder for smaller jobs. Whether you’re downsizing, relocating your home office, or sending a few things to storage, they treat the task with the same care and planning.
Is This a Team You’d Use Again?
Without question. I’ve recommended them to friends, family, even colleagues. The feedback is always the same: “They made it easy.” Isn’t that what you want? Not just boxes moved, but stress removed?
Have you had a moving company ghost you at the last minute? Or worse—show up with a crew that acts like they’d rather be anywhere else? What would it be like to feel confident before the first box is lifted?
Girls on the Move isn’t the only moving company in Johannesburg—but they’re the only one I’d bet my Le Creuset collection on.
