Move some heavy office furniture into a small shed in the yard. These cupboards are quite heavy. Will require 2 people as I need them stacked. There is a metal framed pool which will need to be taken out of the shed and a large shelf to be removed from the shed and placed in the front yard. Bonus if you are able to clean the shed floor and wipe off a cupboard that’s already in there. Thanks for helping with this heavy lifting. I prefer Friday 2/1 but can be flexible with days.

Adam was fantastic to work with. He moved several very heavy pieces of furniture efficiently and with great care. He arrived on time, communicated clearly, and had a great attitude throughout the job. Everything was handled safely and professionally, with no damage at all. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone needing help with heavy lifting or furniture moving or any other task — thanks again, Adam!

Carry heavy sideboard up staircase

$90

Preston VIC, Australia

30th Dec 2025

I’ve just moved house and have a solid timber sideboard downstairs that needs to be carried up my staircase. It’s heavy and awkward, and the staircase has a turn near the top — so this needs people who know what they’re doing. This is at least a two-person job (possibly three), ideally with lifting straps or other moving equipment to protect the furniture and the walls/banister. I can remove drawers/doors beforehand to reduce weight. Location: Preston Timing: Flexible today or soon Budget: $90 (happy to discuss if it’s trickier than expected) Photos of the staircase and the sideboard are attached.

Jeff helped me move a heavy sideboard up my very awkward staircase. This is a valuable piece of furniture which he took care with and navigated up the stairs skillfully and quickly. He was quick to respond, punctual and completed the job perfectly. I absolutely would use his services again - you can trust that he will get things done and he will do it well :)

Move heavy table upstairs

$100

Malvern VIC 3144, Australia

29th Dec 2025

I’ve a heavy table that I’ve managed to get out of my car and into the building but that’s as far as I could get it. Looking for someone (probably two strong people or we could assist a ding one strong person) to get the table the rest of the way. The table is a wooden square, 1100x1100m and just unnecessarily heavy. Before I scare off potential taskers, I have managed to get it from my ute and into my house before now and yesterday, with some assistance, we’ve managed to get it from ute into another building … we were just super hesitant when looking up the stairs! Will update post with pictures shortly. Thanks for reading this far

Prompt, polite and efficient. Easiest transaction ever.
