Quick Move offers amazingly low moving rates. However, each home is obviously different so this means each job is quoted individually. Prices are based on the size truck you choose here is a quick list of sizes and rates.

 

The minimum charge varies job to job and it basically covers you for a specific amount of time we set, it could be a 2 hour minimum or a 4 hour, this all depends on the job at hand. We provide that minimum charge during the quotation stage. Please call or SMS us for a free quote now 0487 399 669.

Yes so unlike all other movers we decided to include GST in our prices. Right across all trucks, sizes, and products. We believe excluding this tax from advertising like some, not all but others do and we feel is a sneaky trick to make you think they are cheaper.

For people moving within Sydney to another location in Sydney, the answer is NO. We do not charge any fuel levies or carbon taxes for those simply moving within the Sydney metro. For those moving for example to the central coast will incur a tax levy, this is usually 10% of the total.

In some instances we may charge for complicated access or if we have to climb stairs or walk long distances between the uplift and the truck. The charge is a once off payment of $50 per man, its not always charged and mostly waived depending on the circumstances.

Yes to an extent, meaning we will not charge any extra for your items to be wrapped in blankets. Because it is all part of the moving service. However, if you wanted additional bubble or plastic wrapping. That’s no issue we will offer you a price this will cover the cost of the materials.

For those that are moving within Sydney time will start and finish at your door. Therefore we will not charge any extra to get back home. And nor charge any extra to get to your job. For outside of Sydney, we obviously must charge this.

Yes, we assemble and disassemble bedding and furniture at no extra cost. And we believe this should be standard and all part of the moving services. Because as we are being paid for the time anyway it makes sense.

How do we project an ETA?

Quick Move ETA
Quick Move drivers use the latest GPS tech. And we allow it to calculate the traffic intensity with distance traveled. So then simply provide the customer with an approximate time of arrival or commonly known as ETA. The driver will not take into consideration, road works, accidents, heavily congested traffic, or breakdowns. ETA really does mean just that. ETA is an estimate and we do not make any guarantees to be at any location at any given time.

What does ETA mean and how it affects you?

ESTIMATE time of arrival, notice I capitalized ESTIMATE :). So it’s not to be confused with DEFINITE. There is really no way in the removals industry that a Sydney removalist can give any definite times. In furniture removals, anything can happen. We have had circumstances when we have had to disassemble furniture that took forever. And customers have given incorrect details, this setting us back for the day. To avoid disappointment make sure we have all the necessary information.

ETA is commonly used in the transport industry.

The majority of you would already know this but just in case some of you may think that ETA means something other than what it stands for I have written this short article. ETA is used by our drivers daily. Because the driver may send the customer a text with an ETA once they are loaded and on the way. There are other words that are also commonly used in our industry when referring to times of arrival. Such as approximate, approximate, approx, rough guess, roughly, an educated guess. You know where I am going with this right? 🙂

When will I get an ETA?

The Quick Move driver will simply either call or TEXT you letting you know what time we expect to arrive. Therefore we aim for at least a half hours notice. However, the ETA given is a good indication. So you need to make sure someone is there ready to provide access. We will at all times call you prior to arriving. And you will be able to give us multiple phone numbers and contacts at the booking stage.
