South Melbourne is Victorian terraces and workers’ cottages on narrow streets and lanes, newer apartments, and one of Melbourne’s oldest markets. Getting the truck close and timing around market days make the biggest difference here.
Every move is backed by our Happy Client Guarantee: if you’re not 100% happy, you only pay cost price.
Your choice of price: by the hour from $154/hr, or one fixed price agreed before moving day.

Happy Client Guarantee — not happy, we charge at cost price. How it works

Australia knows
Single- and double-storey Victorian terraces and cottages, many with rear lane access, plus apartment buildings towards Southbank and along the main roads.
South Melbourne Market trades several days a week and fills the surrounding streets. If you live nearby, we’ll suggest a start outside the busiest hours.
Many terraces have a rear lane that’s easier than the front. Tell us if yours does and send a photo.
Some streets are tight for a truck. We work out the nearest legal stop before the day.
Double-storey terraces mean steep, narrow stairs. Large pieces are taken apart and rebuilt at the other end.
Tell us about your South Melbourne home.
Floor, lift, parking: we plan it into your quote so moving day has no surprises.
Moving day comes with three big worries. Each step takes one off your plate, with a promise most removalists won’t make.
“What will it cost?”
Tell us about your move in 30 seconds. Pay by the hour from $154/hr, or lock in a fixed price agreed with one of our moving experts.
Hourly or fixed price, you choose
Typical removalist: Vague estimates, surprise extras
“Will they look after my things?”
Our own uniformed movers, never labour hire. Every piece is wrapped in heavy blankets, fragile items are packed individually, and doorways and floors are protected on the way out.
Fully insured: $20M liability + $250K goods in transit
Typical removalist: Often uninsured
“What if something goes wrong?”
Furniture reassembled and placed where you want it, with unpacking and an end of lease clean if you need them (Sydney).
Step one takes 30 seconds.
No obligation. A real person replies 7am–10pm, Mon–Sat.

Fixed-price moves
Prefer certainty over an hourly rate? Tell us what’s moving and how we get in and out, and a moving expert will send you one fixed price before moving day.

Rooms, big items, anything fragile.

About 15–25 minutes from our Altona North depot
Prefer one price agreed upfront? Get a fixed price for your South Melbourne move. In Melbourne we do removals; packing, cleaning and crate lending are Sydney-only for now.
Short drives where most of the time is careful carrying.
Into towers with loading docks, just across the freeway.
Down to the bay, often terrace to walk-up.
South Melbourne is in the City of Port Phillip: apply there for resident parking permits and book a hard rubbish collection for bulky items.
Trams run along Clarendon Street and Park Street, and the 96 light rail runs to the city and St Kilda.
Avoid market-day mornings near South Melbourne Market if you can. A non-market weekday is the easiest time to park.
