Help moving a heavy garden pot

$300

Elwood VIC 3184, Australia

6th Oct 2025

Need 1x Carrara Marble Pot moved from Elwood to Canterbury. The pot is empty, but very heavy. Estimated to be 200 - 250kg. The pot is 70cm diameter, 40cm high, and 8cm thick. Located on the ground floor (no stairs), but will need to be turned on its side to clear a 60cm wide door opening. Destination also ground floor with no stairs. Pictures of the pot attached. The narrow access can be seen in the back left of the first photo where the grate is. I understand it was carried into its current position by 2 people for the last couple of meters (to clear the narrow access and put in location). I'd think a heavy duty dolly & lift van would have been used for the rest of the move. Timing for the move would be later in the week, most likely to be Fri.

Great communication through out, and took great care moving a very heavy pot. Would strongly recommend.

We need two people move a three-seater couch from a third storey apartment to the garage on the ground floor. No service lift available.

Very polite and made short work of the job. Many thanks and would hire again.

Pick up and deliver one very heavy item

$150

Armadale VIC 3143, Australia

24th Aug 2025

Long story but im a single parent with kids. We filled up a basketball ring and base with wet sand. We’ve left it behind in Armadale but need it picked up and moved to st Kilda. The base cannot be emptied and the ring is bolted so it can’t be dismantled. I think we put at least 5 bags of wet sand in it plus the weight of the pole and ring so it’s heavy! The base is plastic. It won’t fit in a van or ute so please read the job description! Its so annoying how many will just cut and paste a stock standard message!

Got the job done with no fussy at all! Great work guys!
