A small, tightly held pocket of double-fronted Victorians overlooking Princes Park.
Most of what we move in Princes Hill is family homes changing hands within the pocket, and downsizers moving out after decades in one house. Terrace staircases here rarely take a queen bed assembled, so our crews carry the tools to dismantle and rebuild as standard rather than treating it as an extra. All of it goes into the estimate before you commit — no day-of surprises. We are 21km from our Cheltenham depot.
21km from our Cheltenham depot. Regular territory for our crews — we are here several times a week.
Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Princes Hill move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in heritage terraces & period 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 Princes Hill they are shaped by permit & time-limited parking.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Princes Hill 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
Doorways, staircases and the things that will not fit
Period homes in Princes Hill were built before three-seat modulars and king beds. We check doorway widths, the turn at the top of the staircase, and whether anything needs to come apart or go out through a window. Getting that wrong on the day costs hours; getting it right at quote stage costs one phone call.
4
Truck sized to the parking, permits sorted
Where Princes Hill 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. At 21km 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
Wrapped, loaded and inventoried
Everything soft goes in blankets and stretch wrap before it leaves the room. Beds, tables and flat-pack come apart, and the fixings go in a labelled bag that travels with the crew leader — not loose in a drawer that ends up on the wrong truck.
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 Princes Hill move in about two minutes.
Pigdon and Garton are narrow with permit parking on both sides. We usually arrange a temporary parking bay with the council for anything larger than a 4T.

What it costs
Princes Hill 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 Princes Hill
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 Princes Hill job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Liability for damage to period fabric✓Insured, with crews briefed on plaster, leadlight and original floors — the things a Princes Hill period home cannot have replaced.✗Commonly capped at a token figure per item, or excluded entirely for anything described as "fragile" or "antique".
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.

Princes Hill is one of the suburbs we cover across Inner North. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Inner North suburbs — or out of Inner North entirely — it is the same team either way. The Inner North page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
What should I know about truck access in Princes Hill?
Pigdon and Garton are narrow with permit parking on both sides. We usually arrange a temporary parking bay with the council for anything larger than a 4T. Tell us the street when you book and we will send the right truck rather than the biggest one.
What do removalists charge in Princes Hill?
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. Princes Hill is 21km 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 Princes Hill?
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 Princes Hill moves run on a 8T at around $200/hr, and at 21km 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 Princes Hill move take?
A typical Princes Hill job runs 5–7 hours, based on the heritage terraces & period 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 Princes Hill?
Yes, and it is worth planning. Permit and time-limited parking around Princes Hill 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 Princes Hill?
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 Princes Hill do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Princes Hill and Carlton North, Parkville, Northcote, Brunswick, Carlton and Fitzroy North. 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.
