What the Rates Include
Every local move covers wrapping in heavy-duty blankets, loading, transport in our own trucks, unloading and furniture disassembly and reassembly. We bring trolleys, tools, free bubble wrap, mattress covers and shrink wrap. There is no call-out fee.
Local moves are charged by time at the published half-hour rate plus GST. The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when unloading is finished. Packages 1 and 2 have a 2-hour minimum; Packages 3, 4 and 5 have a 4-hour minimum.
What Affects the Final Cost
The rate is fixed, but the time on the job is not. These practical details make the biggest difference:
- Stairs. Every flight slows loading and unloading, especially with heavy items.
- Parking. If the truck cannot park close to the property, every item travels further.
- Lift access. Apartment buildings with a single lift or restricted goods-lift hours add time.
- Travel distance. Longer drives between pickup and delivery add to the total hours.
- Packing. If you want us to pack, that is a separate service priced on top of the move.
