St Kilda East VIC 3183, Australia

4th Oct 2026

2 strong people needed to help move into apartment, approx. 2 hours Looking for 2 strong and fit people to help us move into a one-bedroom apartment. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, approximately 30 stairs, so you’ll need to be comfortable carrying bulky/heavy items upstairs. There will already be 4 family members helping with the move, but we need some extra muscle for the heavier items, including: * Washing machine * Queen-size bed/mattress * IKEA Kallax bookcase * Armchair * 2-seater couch * Other boxes/heavier household items as needed Everything will be ready to move from downstairs, so no truck or transport is required. We mainly need help getting the bulky items safely upstairs. Looking for up to a 2-hour commitment, but happy to finish earlier once all the heavy items are upstairs. Ideally looking for people who are fit, experienced with moving furniture, and comfortable with stairs and heavy lifting. Date:Thursday 8 October Start time: 1pm Pickup location: St Kilda East VIC 3183, Australia Removals size: A few items Stairs: At delivery

Move 1 heavy coffee table

$200

Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia

23rd Sep 2026

1 Heavy timber coffee table Pickup location: Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia Drop-off location: Gruyere VIC 3770, Australia I require one piece of furniture to be picked up from a commercial property in Fitzroy and delivered to a private property in the Yarra Valley. The item is a coffee table and needs to be handled with care. It is an extremely heavy and awkward piece to carry and manoeuvre, so will require a minimum of two people to lift. previously it was lifted with three people. The table will also need to be carefully wrapped/protected with moving blankets and securely strapped during transport to avoid any damage. Approximate dimensions: 1.0m W × 1.4m L × 0.3m H Please note the table is predominantly solid oak and is extremely heavy. Due to its shape and construction, it is difficult to turn onto its side for carrying, so it will need to be manoeuvred largely in its natural orientation. Both the pickup and delivery properties have ground-floor access with no stairs. I will need help to place it inside the home of the delivery address. Please let me know if you require any further information or photos to provide a quote.

Zac was great. Very solution based and great to work with
