Knowing how much space your items will take up is incredibly important when moving. It helps to:

Frequently asked questions
How much does a removalist cost in Sydney?
A typical range for removalists in Sydney is between $60 – $110 per hour per removalist. The price can differ substantially given the length of time the removalists have been in business, the area they typically work in, the level of competition around and the state of the market.

What services do removalists offer for home removals?
Removalists often do a lot like local moves, interstate moves, packing, boxes, storage and sometimes offer specialist services like piano moves and art moves. Of course, removalists often have specialities like in other areas – some might be experts in oversize or heavy items; others are more experienced with high end furniture. That’s what makes it somewhat hard for people who only move once every few years to find the most appropriate provider for them.
How can I save money on my house move?
Apart from comparing and saving money on service providers, some clever ways to minimise the cost of your move include:
- Making sure the truck can park as close as possible to the location of loading in and out furniture
- Having all small items boxed up and ready to go
- Having all furniture dismantled as much as possible
- Doing some of the work yourself and/or asking for help
I need help preparing for my house move?
Great – that’s what we offer! Feel free to self-help using the Happly platform or book in for a concierge call where a real live person can help you to book everything in and give you as much, or as little, advice as required.
How long should it take to move house?
Typically the actual move won’t take longer than a day but be prepared to spend up to 100 hours planning, booking and arranging your move. The Happly platform is designed to bring this down to a few minutes with a few clever clicks. We may not be able to pack boxes, but we can pretty much do everything else!
What areas in Sydney do you service?
We service everywhere in Sydney from the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Hills district, Western Sydney, Sutherland Shire and everywhere in between. We can even help with outer areas like the Blue Mountains.
Why should you book a removalist online?
Moving house involves a whole lot of tasks such as booking your box delivery, your removalists, cleaners, packers, electricity and gas and more. Often these service providers need to come at a set timeframe given settlement might be occurring, or the end of a lease. Plus there are significant cost differences. By having everything in writing, there’s far less rooms for issues or surprises on the day and just part of the reason why booking everything online using Happly is the smart choice.
