We've Got Answers.

Everything you need to know about booking, pricing, and what happens on the day. No corporate waffle β€” just plain English.

πŸ’° Pricing & Payments
What's the minimum charge?

Our minimum charge is $120, which covers the first hour of work plus travel to your location anywhere in Greater Melbourne. This applies to all services β€” moves, pickups, and rubbish removal.

πŸ‘‰ Even if your job takes less than an hour, the minimum still applies. Most jobs take 1–2 hours minimum anyway, so for most customers the minimum rarely comes into play.
How is pricing calculated?

We keep pricing simple and transparent:

  • Moving jobs: Quoted as a flat rate based on your home size, or hourly for complex jobs. We'll confirm the method in your WhatsApp quote.
  • Rubbish removal: Priced by van load (see rubbish section below).
  • Single item / marketplace pickup: Flat rate from $120 depending on distance and item size.

Surcharges (always disclosed upfront) include: stairs, heavy items, after-hours, and weekends. No surprise fees at the end.

When do I pay?

You pay on the day, after the job is complete. We don't ask for deposits or upfront payment (except in rare cases for very large jobs, which we'll discuss with you beforehand).

Once we're done and you're happy, we'll settle up on the spot.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept:

  • Cash β€” always welcome
  • Card β€” tap to pay via our card reader (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX)
  • Bank transfer (EFT) β€” pay on the day via your banking app

No payment apps like PayID or PayPal required, but we can accommodate those too β€” just ask.

Are there extra charges I should know about?

We're always upfront about potential extras. Here's what may apply:

  • Stairs: $15 per floor (above ground floor, both ends)
  • Very heavy items (pianos, gym equipment, safes): $25 per item
  • Waiting time: $30 per 15 minutes if we're held up on-site (e.g. lift delays, access issues)
  • After-hours (after 6pm): +$30
  • Weekends & public holidays: +$30
πŸ‘‰ All extras are discussed when you book β€” never sprung on you at the end of a job.
Do you provide a written quote before the job?

Yes β€” after you submit your quote request (via our quote form or directly on WhatsApp), we'll send you a confirmed quote via WhatsApp within 30 minutes during operating hours (7am–8pm daily).

The WhatsApp quote confirms the price, service, and time. Your reply constitutes acceptance of the booking. Quotes are valid for 48 hours.

πŸ“… Booking & Scheduling
How far in advance do I need to book?

There's no set minimum β€” we can often accommodate bookings the same day, subject to availability. For busy periods (weekends, end of month, end of lease periods), we recommend booking 2–5 days in advance to secure your preferred time.

Planning a larger move (3+ bedrooms)? A week's notice helps us ensure we have the right crew.

Can I book for the same day?

Yes! Same-day bookings are often available. The fastest way to check is to WhatsApp us directly with your details and we'll confirm availability immediately.

πŸ’¬ For same-day jobs, always WhatsApp rather than using the quote form β€” it's much faster.
What areas of Melbourne do you cover?

We cover all of Greater Melbourne, including:

  • Inner suburbs (CBD, Fitzroy, Collingwood, South Yarra, Prahran, Richmond, Carlton)
  • Inner north & west (Brunswick, Northcote, Footscray, Sunshine)
  • South-east (Dandenong, Springvale, Cheltenham, Frankston)
  • East (Box Hill, Doncaster, Knox, Ringwood)
  • West (Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Melton)
  • Mornington Peninsula (surcharge may apply)

Not sure if we cover your area? Just ask β€” we're generally flexible.

Can I reschedule or cancel my booking?

Life happens β€” we get it. We ask for 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel at no charge. This gives us time to fill the slot.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a $60 callout fee, particularly if our team has already mobilised. We'll always be reasonable about this β€” just let us know as soon as you can.

Do you work on weekends and public holidays?

Yes β€” we work 7 days a week, including public holidays. A weekend surcharge of +$30 applies on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

Operating hours are 7am to 8pm every day of the year (excluding Christmas Day β€” even we need a break!).

πŸ“¦ What We Move
What items do you move?

Pretty much anything that fits in our van safely:

  • Furniture (beds, couches, dining sets, desks, wardrobes)
  • Packed boxes and loose items
  • Appliances (fridge, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher)
  • Garden furniture and outdoor items
  • Gym equipment (weights, benches, machines)
  • Mattresses and bed frames
  • Artwork and mirrors (wrap in advance for best protection)
  • Single items and marketplace purchases
  • Construction waste, garden waste, general rubbish
What items won't you move?

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot transport:

  • Asbestos or asbestos-containing materials
  • Hazardous chemicals, solvents, or flammable liquids
  • Gas cylinders (LPG, industrial gas)
  • Biohazardous waste or medical waste
  • Firearms or ammunition
  • Anything illegal to transport under Victorian law

If you're unsure about a specific item, just ask us on WhatsApp before booking.

Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

We can assist with basic disassembly and reassembly β€” think bed frames, flat-pack furniture, and standard shelving. We carry basic tools for this.

For complex or custom furniture, specialist joinery, or items requiring special tools, we'd recommend a dedicated assembly service. We can point you in the right direction.

What's the maximum load you can take?

We operate a standard Luton van (approx. 17–20 cubic metres), which can handle most 1–2 bedroom moves in a single run. For larger homes, we may do multiple runs or bring a larger vehicle.

If you have a lot of gear, just let us know when booking and we'll advise whether one van is sufficient or if you'd need to book additional capacity.

Can you pick up items I've bought on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?

Absolutely β€” this is one of our most popular services! We'll go to the seller's address, pick up your item, and deliver it to your home. You don't even need to be there for the pickup (though the seller does).

Marketplace pickups start from $120 and vary based on distance and item size. Just send us the seller's address, your address, and a description of what we're picking up.

🚚 On the Day
Do I need to be present on the day?

We strongly prefer someone to be present at both the pickup and drop-off locations to let us in, direct us, and do a final check. This also protects you in terms of confirming everything arrived safely.

If you can't be there, arrange for a trusted person (friend, family member, property manager) to be present. For rubbish removals, it may be possible to proceed with specific access arrangements β€” chat to us first.

What should I do to prepare for moving day?

A little prep goes a long way and helps things run faster (which saves you money on hourly jobs):

  • Pack all boxes before we arrive β€” sealed, labelled, and stacked
  • Clear pathways through hallways, stairs, and doorways
  • Note any parking restrictions or loading zones near your building and let us know in advance
  • Disassemble flat-pack furniture that you know needs to come apart
  • Defrost the fridge/freezer the night before if it's being moved
  • Keep valuables (jewellery, documents, medications) separate and move them yourself
How long does a typical move take?

Move durations vary based on property size, access, and how prepared everything is. Rough guides:

  • Studio or 1-bedroom: 2–3 hours
  • 2-bedroom: 4–5 hours
  • 3-bedroom: 5–7 hours
  • 4+ bedroom: 6–8+ hours
  • Single item / marketplace: 1–1.5 hours typically

Stairs, lifts, long carries, and packing time all add to the duration. We'll give you a realistic estimate when you book.

Do you provide packing materials?

We don't supply boxes or packing tape, but we do bring furniture blankets and straps to protect your items in the van during transit.

For boxes, we recommend checking your local supermarket or bottle shop for free boxes, or Bunnings and IKEA for affordable options. We're happy to recommend suppliers if you ask.

Is my stuff insured while you're moving it?

We take every care with your belongings β€” furniture blankets, straps, and careful loading are standard practice. We carry basic public liability coverage.

However, we're not liable for pre-existing damage or for items that weren't packed or secured adequately. For high-value or fragile items (art, antiques, electronics), please let us know in advance so we can take extra precautions.

πŸ’¬ For specifics on coverage, please ask us via WhatsApp before booking.
πŸ—‘οΈ Rubbish Removal
What types of rubbish do you take?

We take most household and light commercial rubbish, including:

  • Old furniture (couches, beds, shelving, tables)
  • Electronic waste (TVs, computers, white goods)
  • Garden waste (green waste, soil, pavers β€” weight surcharge may apply)
  • General household junk and cleanout items
  • Light construction waste (timber, plasterboard, carpet β€” no asbestos)
  • Mattresses and bedding
  • Office furniture and equipment
Is the tip/recycling entry fee included in the price?

No β€” tip entry fees are charged separately, on top of our service fee. The entry fee at Melbourne transfer stations is typically $15–$40 depending on the load weight and facility.

We'll always let you know what the tip fee came to and show you the receipt. There's no markup on tip fees β€” we pass the exact cost on to you.

How is rubbish removal priced?

Rubbish removal is priced by van load volume:

  • ΒΌ van load: $180
  • Β½ van load: $280
  • ΒΎ van load: $380
  • Full van load: $450

Not sure how much rubbish you have? Send us some photos on WhatsApp and we'll give you an estimate. Tip fees are additional (see above).

πŸ‘‰ For end-of-lease cleanouts or large volumes, we can quote a combined flat rate for the whole job.
Can you do a same-day rubbish removal?

Yes, often! Same-day rubbish removal is one of our most frequent requests. WhatsApp us with your address and a rough description or photos of what needs to go, and we'll confirm availability right away.
