Load/unload heavy items x2 strong people needed
$100
South Wentworthville NSW 2145, Australia
15th Aug 2026
I’m moving into a new place. I rented a Hi-Top van and did most of the moving with a friend. However, the heaviest items I now need help with. I need at least two strong people to: First - unload the van at my place. I currently have the rental van loaded with heavy furniture items and need it unloaded into the new place. Second - ride with me in the van to the storage in Gladesville to then lift my final items.. a heavy wide long dresser, heavy queen bed, and storage style heavy double bed frame into the van. Third - ride back with me to my place in South Wentworthville to then unload it into my place. There will be one set of stairs involved. I can help to a degree, but these things left are just too heavy for me even with another strong person - hence I need two strong people. Can be a really quick job. Only time consuming part is driving to the storage shed and back. Just need to return the rental van by 11:30, so probably 9 am start. Will be waking at 7 to see who can help, sorry for posting last minute, thanks for understanding if you’re able to assist 🙏🏽
Thank you! Quick, efficient, and friendly. Cheers!
