Over 50 years of experience in moving families, individuals and businesses
From Post-War Migration to Global Relocations
Founded in 1970 as Overseas Shipping Services, OSS was created to support the surge of post-war European migrants to Australia. Many of these hardworking families would return to their homelands every few years, taking whitegoods, televisions and other goods to share with loved ones.
Through the 1980s, OSS evolved into a full-service international moving company, expanding beyond Europe to meet demand across the UK, New Zealand, South East Asia and Hong Kong in the lead-up to the 1997 handover to China.
OSS is proudly owned by Andrew Sorrell and Bob Wray. Andrew migrated to Australia from England in 1969 and became the first employee of OSS Melbourne in 1972. Bob, a former insurance broker whom OSS was a long-term client of, invested in the company in 1984 before becoming an equal partner in 1998.
Together, Andrew and Bob have guided OSS for decades, ensuring the business remains focused on excellence in international moving.
“The secret to the success of OSS has been specialisation from Day One in the international side of moving. Our staff are well-trained, and our crews are consistent because they are 100% focused on international packing, handling and stowing.”
– Bob Wray, Founder, OSS World Wide Movers

We moved our household goods from Wellington to Brisbane. OSS movers picked up the Brisbane end. They were helpful, facilitated storage and access to items in storage with little fuss. The move into our apartment was handled with care. Josh, Justice and Shane were really friendly and made the move in really easy, putting shelves together and advising us on where to place our furniture. Great job, thank you!
Pick up in western Sydney by Suni and Chris. They did an awesome job, very professional, quicker then expected and explained everything clearly. Cheers guys
Turned a daunting interstate move into an easy fix which went seamlessly and very efficiently. What a wonderful crew and expertly managed and directed. Could not have wished for a better outcome. Thank you so much Bob and all the team. Very well done. No hesitation recommending OSS,

The team from OSS Brisbane were so great throughout the entire process of my grandparents recent relocation from the Gold Coast to Auckland, NZ.
From the first phone call, to the emails, phone follow ups and their moving team, everything was kind and professional.
It was also incredibly cost efficient and competitive with other moving companies.
Thanks team :)
I’ve got the crew packing today all my items.
What an awesome and efficient crew. Respectful and willing to go the extra mile, even unboxing some items I had forgot to put aside for my daughter.
Thank you so much Cortney, Ali and Jay
We highly recommend OSS World Wide Movers. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. The teams in both New Zealand and Brisbane were fantastic to deal with, and their pricing was very competitive. Most importantly, all of our belongings arrived safely with no damage or breakages. Thank you for making our move so smooth and stress-free!
Crazy how fast and careful Josh put all of our belongings into bubble wrap and into boxes. Every box labelled and every piece of furniture disassembled on which room it came from. Across a day he put the majority of the house ready for our move. The next day Matt and Justice came and put it all into the container ready to move across the Tasman.
The whole process Josh communicated what was going and where he was up to. Cameron in the office quoted the whole process and gave step by step on what was to come next and when the guys would be onsite.
Outstanding communication and outstanding service. If I am coming back to Aus you could put money on who I would be making the call to.
Thanks Josh, Matt and Justice for caring about my personal belongings as much as I do.
OSS packers and removalists were excellent! Very prompt, friendly, and great at communicating throughout the pack and move process.
Would recommend to anyone who is considering moving across continents.
