Before you move, every Melbourne removalist wants to know
What do removalists do?
Removalists make your move painless! As well as rescuing you from the trouble of packing and moving. Removalists are professional moving companies with experience in every aspect of removals, whether it is packing and unpacking up your entire home from paintings to kitchenware or just moving all of your stuff to your new home or office.
How much does it cost to hire movers?
A variety of factors determines the cost of hiring Melbourne removalists. In the first place, the final price is determined by the amount of time it will take to load and unload the truck and the distance travelled by the removalist.
Several factors influence the amount of time it takes, including the amount of stuff you have, the level of access you have, and any obstacles, such as multiple flights of stairs, steep driveways, or no parking in front of the building. Additionally, if you have large or fragile items that require special care and attention, such as plants, pool tables, or antiques, this can cause things to move much more slowly than they otherwise would.
Hiring professional Melbourne Removalists for a local move will typically cost between $300 and $1,500, whereas long-distance moves usually cost between $2,400 and $5,000. All these prices depend on the size, difficulty and distance of the move.
Do you tip removalists in Australia?
As with any service provider that does a good job, they enjoy being rewarded. However, in saying that, it is not expected and is still a grey area for some people in Australia. Although, if you want to tip, feel free to pass on some extra cash or even a 6 pack of beer to the hard-working furniture removalists.
5 great ways to save on moving costs:
- Pack and unpack yourself.
- Ensure you take apart all of your furniture (such as beds) by yourself.
- Put your boxes on ground level or in the garage so the removalist is not making numerous trips up and down the stairs.
- Make sure there is easy access and parking at your property.
- Any small awkward items like plants, carry them in your own vehicle.

Give advance warning regarding any obstacles or heavy, awkward items
One way to ensure a successful move day is to be prepared and upfront with your Melbourne removalists before the day of the move.
One way to do this is to notify the removalist in advance of any heavy or awkward items so they can plan your removals accordingly. Pianos, pool tables, and other large items fall into this category and may require more removalists on the job.
The second way of ensuring a smooth move is to prepare the moving company for any foreseeable obstacles such as elevators, staircases or parking restrictions. All of these factors can contribute to the complexity of the removal and may need additional planning and time.
