Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Highett move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in apartments & unit blocks.
Six steps, in order, from the moment you enter your address to the moment the crew leaves.
Steps three to five are the ones that change from suburb to suburb — and in Highett they are shaped by driveways & off-street parking.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Highett address and the calculator returns a real number in about two minutes, built from the same pricing our crews are dispatched on. Our team then reviews the enquiry personally and comes back the same business day.
2
Your date, locked with a written quote
You get the truck size, the crew size, the hourly rate, the call-out and the surcharge (if you are moving on a weekend) in writing before you commit. Nothing on that sheet changes on move day unless you change the job.
3
Stairs, lifts and the walk to the truck
For Highett unit blocks the question is how far the front door is from where a truck can legally stop, and whether there's a lift or a stair flight in between. That carry distance is the number that moves your quote — not the postcode. We map it at quote stage so the estimate you get is the estimate you pay.
4
Truck sized to the load, parked at the door
Most Highett properties take a full-size truck at the door, which is the cheapest possible configuration — short carry, one trip, no shuttle. We size to your inventory rather than defaulting to the biggest truck, because you pay for the truck you book. Your crew leaves Cheltenham Depot minutes away, so the truck is at your door at the start of your window rather than an hour into it.
5
Protected first, loaded second
Floor runners and doorframe padding go down before a single item moves. Mattresses go into covers, screens and mirrors into purpose-made cartons, and the load is built heaviest-first so nothing shifts on the drive.
6
Placed, reassembled, and signed off
Beds go back together, furniture goes where you point rather than where it lands, and the crew does a final walk-through with you before they leave. Billing stops when the last item is placed — we bill by the minute after the two-hour minimum, not in rounded-up half hours.
That is the whole process — no step six-and-a-half.Start at step one and you will have a number for your Highett move in about two minutes.
New townhouse developments often have shared driveways and body corporate parking rules; we coordinate with the manager.

What it costs
Highett removalist costs — work it out now
Pick your home size and where you are going. These are the same truck rates, call-out and
two-hour minimum our crews are dispatched on — so this is an indication, not a teaser.
For a real quote against your actual addresses, the calculator takes about two minutes.
Indicative only. Your real quote depends on the actual drive between your two addresses,
stairs, lifts and carry distance. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges are per crew member.
Why it matters
AFRA accredited vs a cheap quote in Highett
Anyone can put a truck on a website. AFRA — the Australian Furniture Removers Association —
audits members every year on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling.
Here is what that difference looks like on a Highett job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Certificate of Currency for body corporate✓Issued on request, usually same day — standard paperwork for Highett unit blocks with a body corporate.✗Frequently not held at all. Uninsured operators cannot produce one because there is nothing to certify.
Written quote before you commit✓Truck, crew, hourly rate, call-out and any weekend surcharge in writing before you book. Billed by the minute after the two-hour minimum.✗Verbal estimate over the phone, then a "the job was bigger than expected" conversation at the end of the day.
Vehicles and equipment✓Owned, maintained fleet of 20+ trucks with blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes on board as standard.✗Hire truck booked that morning, with equipment charged separately or simply not carried.
Who actually turns up✓Uniformed, screened, trained employees. The same crews week after week, not a different pair each job.✗Subcontracted or casual labour with no background screening and no accountability back to the company.
If something goes wrong✓A documented complaints process, externally audited every year as an AFRA member, with an escalation path that ends at a named manager.✗No formal process. Your options are a chargeback, a bad review, or small claims.
Cancellations and no-shows✓A depot, a dispatcher and a backup truck. If a vehicle breaks down we send another one.✗One truck and one driver. A breakdown or a double-booking means your move simply does not happen that day.
Pricing after the job✓The rate you were quoted, billed to the minute. No fuel levy, no stair levy, no "heavy item" surprise.✗Low headline rate, then call-out fees, travel time, fuel surcharges and equipment hire added at the end.
Easy Peasy is an AFRA member and a registered NDIS provider, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. The same standards apply to a one-bedroom Highett flat as to a full house.
Melbourne's bay-facing south-east. Family suburbs, beach clubs and heritage housing.
Highett is one of the suburbs we cover across Bayside. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Bayside suburbs — or out of Bayside entirely — it is the same team either way. The Bayside page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
Do you handle Highett townhouse move-ins with body corporate rules?
Yes — the newer Highett townhouse developments have shared driveways and parking rules that we coordinate with the building manager before delivery day.
How much do removalists cost in Highett?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, with a two-hour minimum and then billed by the minute. Most Highett moves run on a 6T at around $190/hr, and at 2km from our Cheltenham Depot the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How long does a Highett move take?
A typical Highett job runs 3–5 hours, based on the apartments & unit blocks we move here most often. Stairs, lift waits and carry distance are what move that number, which is why we ask about access before we ask about bedrooms.
Do you handle the parking and access issues in Highett?
Usually very straightforward. Most Highett properties take a full-size truck at or near the door, which keeps the carry short and the job on the lower end of the estimate. We just need to know the driveway takes truck weight and that nothing overhangs the approach.
Can you move us on a weekend in Highett?
Yes — Saturday and Sunday slots are available and they book out first, so give us as much notice as you can. Weekend work carries a surcharge paid per removalist (+$11/hr Saturday, +$22/hr Sunday on a two-removalist truck), and it is shown on your quote before you commit rather than added afterwards.
Which suburbs near Highett do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Highett and Hampton East, Cheltenham, Mentone, Black Rock, Brighton and Brighton East. A move between two neighbouring suburbs is one of the most common jobs we run — short drive leg, same crew, same hourly rate.
Are you insured and AFRA accredited?
Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is an AFRA member, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover, and we can issue a Certificate of Currency on request — usually the same day, which is what most buildings and body corporates ask for before they will release a lift booking.
Do you supply boxes and do the packing in Highett?
Yes to both. We can drop cartons, paper and tape ahead of your Highett move, or send a packing crew to do the whole house. Blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes are on every truck as standard — you are not charged extra for the equipment that protects your furniture.

Very easy to deal with from booking to packing and unpacking the truck. The removal team of David and Oscar were very thorough and careful but also efficient. Highly recommended.

Chris and JP from Easy Peasy Removals were terrific. They were very pleasant and polite and careful with our belongings, moving all our belongings carefully including some large antiques. I can really recommend Easy Peasy. They made our move so much easier.
