Common questions
+How long will my house move take?
A studio takes 2–3 hours, a 2-bedroom 3–5 hours, a 3-bedroom 5–7 hours and a 4-bedroom 7–10 hours. We give you a realistic estimate on your quote call.
+Do you move on weekends?
Yes, 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm. Weekend rates may vary slightly during peak season — ask when booking.
+Is there a minimum booking?
Yes — most jobs have a 2-hour minimum, charged in 15-minute increments after that.
+Do you charge a call-out or fuel fee?
A half-hour call-out fee each way applies to every local move (depot to pickup, drop-off back to depot) at the truck's hourly rate. Interstate and long-distance jobs may include additional travel time and fuel — always disclosed upfront.
+Can you handle stairs and tight access?
Yes. Please mention stairs, narrow doorways or lift access on the quote so we bring the right crew and gear.
+What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Free reschedule with 48 hours' notice. Same-day cancellations may attract a small fee.
+Do you provide packing boxes?
Yes — buy them from us at cost, or add our packing service to have everything packed for you.
+Is my furniture covered if something breaks?
We carry $10 million public liability insurance on every job. Full transit insurance is available and strongly recommended for high-value items.
