When "small removalist" actually means "small"

A lot of removalists price small moves as if they were full house moves, which is why customers with a studio or a few pieces often overpay. Our pricing structure has a 2T van (from $160/hr) and 4T truck (from $180/hr) sized specifically for studios and single-item pickups, and no small-load surcharge — same base rate as bigger jobs.

2-hour minimum applies, then billed by the minute. So a studio move that takes 2 hrs 15 min costs exactly 2.25 hours' worth of labour, not a rounded-up 3.

Good fits for the small-moves service

  • Studios and one-bedroom units, apartments, granny flats
  • Room-only moves — student moves, sharehouse changes
  • Single-item pickups — one couch, one fridge, one wardrobe
  • Marketplace or Gumtree pickups where you need reliable transport
  • Furniture consolidation — moving pieces into storage
  • Downsizing — where only some items are coming to the new place

Small removalists vs hiring a ute and doing it yourself

For a couch and a few boxes, DIY looks cheaper on paper. Here's the full picture.

Why small jobs still get full-size standards

Sized to your load

A 2T van or 4T truck for small jobs, so you're not paying for empty space.

Every minute counted

A job that takes 2 hours 15 minutes costs 2.25 hours — never rounded up.

Wrapped and strapped

The same blankets and protection as a five-bedroom move, even for one item.

Insured and accredited

AFRA accredited with current public liability cover on every job, big or small.

Common questions

Small removalists Melbourne — FAQs

What's the minimum charge for a small move in Melbourne?

Two hours at the truck's hourly rate — $320 for a 2T van or $360 for a 4T truck with two removalists. After the first two hours we bill by the minute.

Do you charge extra for small loads?

No. There's no small-load surcharge. A single couch is charged at the same hourly rate as a full house move.

Can you pick up a Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree item for me?

Yes. Give us the pickup address and seller's contact details, and we'll collect and deliver it. Confirm with the seller that the item is ready to go before we arrive, so you're not paying for waiting time.

Is a van or a truck better for my move?

A 2T van suits single items and very small loads. A studio or one-bedroom usually needs a 4T truck. The instant quote calculator recommends a size from your item list.

Do you handle stairs and apartments on small moves?

Yes — stairs and lifts are routine. Tell us about stairs or lift bookings when you book so we can plan the time accurately.

Can you move a few items into storage?

Yes. We can collect a few pieces and move them into our secure storage, or to any storage facility you've chosen.
