Our rate is fixed at $100/hr — but the total number of hours your move takes is influenced by these factors.
The more furniture you have, the longer loading and unloading takes. Decluttering before your move date saves you time (and money).
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.
Stairs, lifts, long carries, tight hallways, or parking restrictions all add time. Always mention these when quoting.
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.
We don't charge weekend surcharges. Our rate is identical Monday to Sunday. End-of-month dates fill fast — book early.
Lifts add waiting time. Stairs (especially 2–3 flights) add physical effort and time. Multi-storey moves benefit from a 3-man crew.

A 3-bedroom house move in Melbourne typically costs between $500 and $750 with Movers R Us, based on 5–7 hours at $100/hr.
