Removalists can ease the stress of moving from one place to another, allowing you to actually enjoy settling into your new home.
It's one of the of the most demanding tasks to shift everything you own to a new location. Usually all the work is up to you if you're lucky, maybe a few choice family and friends. The quickest way out of all the hassle is to hire a removalist. The average total cost of hiring a good removalist service can range from $300 to $3500 for a complete move. You can expect to pay between $75 to $300 per hour to move from a location in the same city.
Using a removalist can be a great option if you can't or don't want to spend your time and effort moving, but they may not be the most feasible option.
Removalists cost a lot and can add up to a sum that could be easily avoided if you do smaller loads yourself.To make sure you move efficiently, here’s what you can do:
Sell off extra stuff; you will get some money to spend and lessen the cost of the move.
Find someone you know with ute; they can come in very handy.
Use options such as Airtasker, UHaul, or consider a backload.
Removalists don't just charge by the hour, and there are many more services that incur fees. Full-service movers are often hired for interstate relocation and usually charge for the distance between the two locations, the load and weight and the number of items. Local movers have a set of prices that they would add to the bill for the services they provide. Removalists charge for different situations; their prices vary based on the features of the location and for packing and unpacking. If you're moving interstate, you can expect to pay $200 to $900 extra, on top of moving from an apartment ($100 to $240) or an office building ($80 to $210). Based on the items and the weight, individual items can cost you $50 to $214 each.
Several factors can add up to the cost of having your belongings moved. Things like access to your house and any stairs, lifts or steep driveways in the way of your home can add to the total cost.
