Airport transfer tomorrow - help with heavy luggage (door to door)
$60
Brunswick West, Victoria
2nd May 2026
I'm moving interstate tomorrow, my flight is booked and I need assistance with my heavy luggage as I'm taking my whole life basically. There are 4 suitcases (2 large, 1 med, 1 small) and they're on wheels but I have a neck and head injury so cannot lift a thing. Really this an Uber driver who actually helps kind of task! My apartment here is also tricky to access - just the doors, lift, parking etc so I can't simply book an Uber because they don't help. Flight is at 3pm, I want to be at the airport at 1pm. And I need the tasker to actually park the car and help me get my suitcases into the airport because I can't lift them onto the trolley. I'll pay for all parking and any tolls (I don't think there are from here but I'd just pay on the spot if so) I checked Uber rates and it's $23 from here - so I'm really just tipping someone for being a decent human.

Professional to lift antique cupboard over bannister in Thornbury
$200
Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia
30th Apr 2026
I hav this antique cedar cuboard 350 wide and 13 long. Its cedar and some hardwood, quite old and a little wobbly but should lift ok. Fairly heavy but can be lifted by two . It cannot get fit up the stairs so it needs to be lifted over balcony which is a steel handrail that is solid but would not want to put too much pressure on it nonetheless as its only bolted to beam . I think it would take 3 people, ropes and or maybe hiring a mchanical lifetre frim kennards for 15o to do safely.
