Moving service

House and apartment removals

Two movers and a truck, charged by the hour, anywhere inside the Melbourne metro ring.

House and apartment removals
$145 per hour, 2 hour minimum

Most Melbourne moves are local moves: Brunswick to Coburg, a Richmond one bedder to a Northcote two bedder, a family leaving Box Hill for Blackburn. We price those by the hour, with a truck and crew sized to the cubic metres you actually have, so nobody pays for a 12 tonne pantech to shift a studio.

The clock starts when the crew arrives at your door and stops when the last carton is in the room you asked for. On top of that there is one depot to depot travel fee, quoted before you book. There is no call out fee, no fuel levy and no weekend surcharge on Saturdays.

What you get

Included in every job

  • Trolleys, blankets and straps

    Fridge and stair trolleys, 40 furniture blankets per truck, ratchet straps and shrink wrap for soft furnishings, all included in the hourly rate.

  • Disassembly and reassembly

    Bed frames, flat pack wardrobes that will survive the trip, trampolines and table legs come apart and go back together. Hardware travels in a labelled bag taped to the frame.

  • Floor and doorway protection

    Runners on polished boards and carpet, door jamb guards on tight hallways, corner protection on stairwells and lift cars.

  • Placement in the right room

    Label your cartons by room and the crew puts them there. Beds are remade in the bedroom, not stacked in the garage.

    You get an estimated cubic metre figure, a truck size, a crew size and an hourly rate band in writing, plus the travel fee.

  3. 3

    Move day

    The crew arrives inside a one hour window, walks the house with you, and confirms what travels and what stays.

  4. 4

    Final read of the clock

Questions we get about this job

Answered by the crew who do it, not a call centre.

Still unsure?

(03) 5550 1203

Monday to Saturday, real people at the Abbotsford depot.

All questions and answers

No. The hourly clock starts at your front door. Travel between our Abbotsford depot and your address is covered by a single 30 minute travel fee that appears on the quote before you book.

We keep going and you pay for the extra time in 15 minute increments. If it is running long we tell you at the halfway point, not at the end.

Yes, between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm, subject to crew availability. There is no surcharge, but Sunday slots book out two to three weeks ahead in December and January.

Empty anything glass, heavy or liquid. Clothes can stay in a chest of drawers if the unit is solid timber. Flat pack drawers travel empty or they twist.
