Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh they are shaped by permit & time-limited parking.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh 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 parking, permits sorted
Where Oakleigh has permit or time-limited parking, the truck has to fit the legal spot — not just the furniture. We size accordingly, and where a council permit or a reserved bay is needed we tell you which one and when to apply, because those take lead time and the fine does not care that you were moving. 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
Packed to the room it is going to
We load by destination room, not by size, so the unload runs in the order you actually want it. Fragile items are wrapped individually, wardrobes travel on port-a-robes rather than folded into boxes, and the inventory is checked off as the truck fills.
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 Oakleigh move in about two minutes.
Family streets are forgiving. Eaton Mall commercial has restricted parking.

What it costs
Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh
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 Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh flat as to a full house.
Long-established family suburbs, Monash University, and Melbourne's biggest multicultural belt.
Oakleigh is one of the suburbs we cover across South East. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between South East suburbs — or out of South East entirely — it is the same team either way. The South East page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
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 Oakleigh moves run on a 6T at around $190/hr, and at 10km 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 Oakleigh move take?
A typical Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh?
Yes, and it is worth planning. Permit and time-limited parking around Oakleigh decides where the truck can legally sit, which decides your carry distance. Photograph the signs outside both addresses and send them through, and we will tell you whether a council permit or a reserved bay is worth arranging.
Can you move us on a weekend in Oakleigh?
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 Oakleigh do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Oakleigh and Hughesdale, Murrumbeena, Glen Huntly, Chelsea, Carnegie and Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh?
Yes to both. We can drop cartons, paper and tape ahead of your Oakleigh 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.
How far in advance should I book a Oakleigh move?
Weekday moves usually book within three to seven days. Weekends, month-end and the last week before Christmas go faster and are worth locking in two to three weeks out. If your building needs a lift booking, that lead time usually sets your date rather than our availability.
Matty and eric were amazing! Lovely guys and Super efficient! Awesome job thanks Easley Peasey we will definitely use you again for future moves!

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.
