Cost Factors

What Affects Your Removalist Cost in Melbourne?

Our rate is fixed at $100/hr — but the total number of hours your move takes is influenced by these factors.

📐

Volume of Furniture

The more furniture you have, the longer loading and unloading takes. Decluttering before your move date saves you time (and money).

📏

Travel Distance

Time on the road between your pickup and drop-off address is charged at the hourly rate. Most northern suburbs moves are within 5–25km.

🏗️

Access Conditions

Stairs, lifts, long carries, tight hallways, or parking restrictions all add time. Always mention these when quoting.

📦

Amount of Packing

If boxes aren't pre-packed on move day, we can pack for you (add-on rate) — but it adds hours. Pre-packing saves the most time.

🗓️

Day of the Week

We don't charge weekend surcharges. Our rate is identical Monday to Sunday. End-of-month dates fill fast — book early.

🛗

Lifts vs Stairs

Lifts add waiting time. Stairs (especially 2–3 flights) add physical effort and time. Multi-storey moves benefit from a 3-man crew.
