Large interwar homes on generous blocks above the Yarra, with mature garden frontages.
The Ivanhoe East job sheet is dominated by large family homes, estate and downsizing moves, and occasional piano or antique-heavy inventories. Driveways do most of the work here. A long or steep one changes the carry distance more than an extra bedroom changes the volume, which is why we ask about it at quote stage. All of it goes into the estimate before you commit — no day-of surprises. We are 26km from our Cheltenham depot.

Services in Ivanhoe East
Every type of move we run here
Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Ivanhoe East move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in established family homes.
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 Ivanhoe East they are shaped by narrow streets & tight frontages.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Ivanhoe East 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
Levels, driveway and the carry distance
Three questions decide a Ivanhoe East quote: how many levels, can a truck park close to the door, and how long is the carry. We ask those before we ask how many bedrooms, because a single-level house with a straight driveway and a two-storey with a long side path are very different days at the same bedroom count.
4
Truck sized to the street, not just the load
Narrow streets around Ivanhoe East rule out the biggest trucks regardless of how much you own. We match the truck to what can actually turn into your street and get out again, and where that means a smaller truck plus a shuttle we price it that way from the start. At 26km from Cheltenham Depot we build the travel leg into your quote upfront — you see it as a line item before you book, not as a surprise afterwards.
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 Ivanhoe East move in about two minutes.
The Boulevard and its side streets have steep driveways and overhanging established trees — a 12T often can't clear the canopy, so we size down and run an extra leg.

What it costs
Ivanhoe East 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 Ivanhoe East
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 Ivanhoe East job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Insurance that actually covers your goods✓Full public liability and goods-in-transit cover, externally audited as an AFRA member.✗Often no goods-in-transit cover at all — the quote is cheap because the risk sits with you.
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 Ivanhoe East flat as to a full house.
Established leafy suburbs — family homes on generous blocks.
Ivanhoe East is one of the suburbs we cover across North East. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between North East suburbs — or out of North East entirely — it is the same team either way. The North East page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
What should I know about truck access in Ivanhoe East?
The Boulevard and its side streets have steep driveways and overhanging established trees — a 12T often can't clear the canopy, so we size down and run an extra leg. Tell us the street when you book and we will send the right truck rather than the biggest one.
How much does a Ivanhoe East move cost?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, 2-hour minimum, then billed by the minute. Ivanhoe East is 26km from our Cheltenham depot, so the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How much do removalists cost in Ivanhoe East?
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 Ivanhoe East moves run on a 10T at around $210/hr, and at 26km 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 Ivanhoe East move take?
A typical Ivanhoe East job runs 5–8 hours, based on the established family homes 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 Ivanhoe East?
Yes. Narrow streets and tight frontages around Ivanhoe East rule out our biggest trucks regardless of how much you own, so we match the truck to what can actually turn into your street. Send a photo of the frontage when you book and we will size it properly rather than sending the biggest vehicle and hoping.
Can you move us on a weekend in Ivanhoe East?
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 Ivanhoe East do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Ivanhoe East and Heidelberg, Eltham, Eaglemont, Bulleen, Ivanhoe and Heidelberg Heights. 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.

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.
