Moving Services & Costs

How do I get an accurate removalist quote?

To ensure your quote is 100% accurate with no hidden surprises, use our online form or call our team. For larger homes (4+ bedrooms) or long-distance moves, we can arrange a video or on-site inspection. We will need: Pickup/delivery addresses, home size, specialty items (+75kg), access details (stairs/lifts), and required services (packing/storage).

What does your standard moving service include?

We believe in the red-carpet treatment. Our standard package includes an expert team of trained local movers, professional plastic and blanket wrapping for all furniture, standard disassembly/reassembly (beds/tables), clean company-owned trucks with hydraulic lifts, and a fully itemized quote with no hidden fees.

How much does a removalist cost in 2026?

It comes down to how much you have, how far it is going, and whether you want us to pack. Wollongong to Sydney runs about $750 for a unit and up to $2,600 for a big family home. Local moves are charged hourly. Every quote is itemised.

Local Moves in Wollongong & the Illawarra

Do you do local removals in Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama?

Yes. Local removals are most of our work: Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, Albion Park, Shell Cove, Thirroul and the rest of the Illawarra. One crew and one truck, loaded and delivered the same day, so nothing sits in storage overnight.

How are local moves in Wollongong charged?

Local moves are charged hourly or as a fixed quote, based on how much you have and the access at both ends. Either way the quote is itemised, so you know what you are paying for before the day.

How much notice do you need to book a removalist?

Two weeks gets you your pick of dates, and the end of the month books out first because that is when leases turn over. That said, we have rescued plenty of last minute moves. Ring us and we will tell you straight.

Do you work weekends and after hours?

Yes. We work weekends and after hours for home moves and office relocations, so your move fits around work, school and settlement times.

Packing, Unpacking & Furniture Assembly

Can you pack and unpack for me?

Yes. We can pack the whole house or just the kitchen and the fragile things. Our packers use proper cartons, butchers paper and bubble wrap, and everything is labelled by room so unpacking at the other end is quick. We can unpack for you too, with boxes emptied, cartons flattened and taken away.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes. Standard disassembly and reassembly of beds and tables is part of our moving service, and we pull apart and rebuild office workstations as well. Tell us about anything unusual when you book, like a large wardrobe or a flat pack that needs care.

Do you supply moving boxes and packing materials?

Yes. We supply high density, double walled moving boxes, tea chests, book cartons and Port a Robes for hanging clothes, plus tape, bubble wrap and paper, with free local delivery in the Wollongong area.

How should I prepare for moving day?

Pack and label boxes by room, keep a box of essentials with you, and check the access at both ends: stairs, lifts that need booking, steep driveways and parking for the truck. The more we know when you book, the smoother the day goes.

Secure Storage Solutions

Do you offer storage in Wollongong?

Yes. For when settlement dates do not line up, we have clean, monitored storage units in Wollongong from 10 to 60 cubic metres, with no lock-in contract.

Can you move my furniture into and out of storage?

Yes. We can move it in, hold it for as long as you need, and move it back out and into your new home for you, so there is only one crew handling your furniture.

Interstate & Specialty Handling

Do you handle interstate or regional relocations?

Yes. We run interstate out of Wollongong regularly, plus country NSW. Fixed price quotes with the tolls and fuel already in them, so the number you agree to is the number you pay

Can you move heavy items like pianos or marble tables?

Yes. We are piano removalists and pool table removalists as well as furniture removalists. Anything over 75kg gets rigging gear, padding and crating if needed. Tell us when you book.

What happens if something is damaged during the move?

We maintain the highest standards of safe removals and include public liability and transit coverage. For high-value items, we recommend our comprehensive insurance add-on. If an issue occurs, report it with photos within 24 hours for quick resolution.

Which cities do you move to interstate?

We run interstate removals out of Wollongong to Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Tasmania on our own trucks, plus country NSW.

What is backloading and can it save me money?

Backloading means your furniture shares space on a truck already making the run interstate. If your dates are flexible it is a cheaper way to move, and it is available on our interstate removals.

Will my furniture change trucks or go into a warehouse?

No. Your furniture goes from your old place to our truck to your new place, and it stays on that one truck the whole way. No transfers and no warehouse, unless you have asked us for storage.

Can you move offices and IT equipment?

Yes. We move offices on weekends and after hours so you do not lose a trading day, pull apart and rebuild workstations, and label every cable on servers, monitors and comms gear so it is reconnected properly at the other end.
