Instead of giving one generic answer, we reviewed anonymised completed-job records with recorded working hours. The numbers below are descriptive of our own job history, not a promise of how long your move will take.
Snapshot date: 2026-08-13. These figures include a mix of move sizes and access conditions, so they should be used as planning context rather than a quote.
Street addresses, customer identity and financial information are not published.
A median of 3.5 recorded hours does not mean every Melbourne move should take that long. A smaller, ready-to-load apartment with easy access may take less; a larger house, difficult access or a longer route may take considerably more. The most useful estimate comes from your actual inventory and access details.
Share the addresses, moving date and main items. We will use the job details rather than a generic city-wide average.
