For example:

So moving Three men and a 40 cubic metres will be faster in 2 hours and cost less in $78.75.

Another exemple: 

Two men and a 40 cubic truck $179 per hour, for a bedroom house without stairs, 1 hour from pick up to drop off points – loading time will be 3 hours, travel time 2 hour, unloading 2 hours. And call out the fee for 30 min. Price for this move will be – (0,5+3+2+2)*179 = $1342,5.

Three men and a 40 cubic truck $230 per hour, for a bedroom house without stairs, 1 hour from pick up to drop off points – loading time will be 2.1 hours, travel time 2 hour, unloading 1,4 hours. And call out the fee for 30 min. Price for this move will be – (0,5+2,1+2+1,4)*230 = $1380.

How to Prepare for a Move Most Efficiently

Though relocation might be stressful, it can actually be a smooth process provided one prepares well for it. The following are some practical tips that will help you while moving to your new house, either by using a professional moving service or doing it yourself, handling long-distance furniture moving, interstate furniture removalists, or a local furniture move.

Organizing and Labeling Boxes

• Labeled Boxes: Clearly label boxes with their respective destination rooms. Use tags such as ‘Bed 1’ or ‘Kitchen’ to ensure quicker movement and organization. This is especially useful for movers, allowing them to place items in the appropriate spots without requiring constant instructions.

• Group Items by Room: Whenever possible, combine two boxes intended for the same room, making transport more efficient.

Secure Furniture

• Furniture Removals: Empty all contents from cupboards and drawers to avoid shifting during transit. Securely tape the doors shut. It is generally unnecessary to remove shelves unless specifically requested.

• Remove Items from Drawers: Take out items from drawers and pack them in boxes. However, the drawers themselves can remain in place, as removing them is not necessary.

• Use Professional Furniture Removalists: Hiring experts minimizes risks, as professionally prepared furniture removals ensure safe handling during transit.

Hiring Cheap Furniture Removalists Can Reduce Costs

Get Ready for Drop-Off

• Room Labels: Prepare labels for rooms in the new house (e.g., ‘Bed 2’, ‘Laundry’) and post them on the walls. This allows movers to place the boxes correctly without requiring your constant guidance. A quick orientation will suffice.

Seek Professional Services

• House Moving Services: Consider hiring a professional moving service like Two Men and a Truck. These services are particularly useful for long-distance furniture moving and handling bulky or fragile items.

• Interstate Furniture Removalists: If you’re moving interstate, specialized furniture removalists can safely transport your belongings with minimal risk.
