2 People Needed Tonight – Heavy Rug & Furniture Move
$280
Southbank VIC 3006, Australia
11th Aug 2026
Two people needed TONIGHT – remove large rug & heavy desk + put new rug down Looking for two strong, experienced people to complete a furniture moving/heavy lifting job at Australia 108 in Southbank tonight. The main job is replacing a large 3.5m x 2.5m rug underneath our lounge room furniture. This involves: * Moving a large sectional couch off the existing rug * Carefully moving a large TV cabinet with an 85” TV on it enough to remove the rug * Removing and rolling up the existing large, heavy rug * Taking the old rug down the goods lift to the building’s hard waste room * Laying a new rug in its place * Moving the couch and TV cabinet back into position * Taking a very large/heavy dismantled desktop and heavy metal desk legs down to the hard waste room as well We have a trolley available for transporting the items through the building. Must be completed tonight before 10pm, as the goods lift access/hard waste room closes then. Two people are required for this job due to the size and weight of the items. Please note there is no parking provided. Street parking nearby is limited. Wilson Parking at Eureka is approximately one block away and is probably the easiest option. Please only offer if you can provide two people and arrive with enough time to have the entire job finished before 10pm. Pickup location: Southbank VIC 3006, Australia Removals size: A few items Stairs: No
Abdul was great - friendly, professional and really helpful. He was happy to do a few extra things to help us out, got everything done quickly, and made the whole job feel smooth and easy. Great communication throughout. Would definitely hire him again.

Moving several heavy items downstairs into garage storage
$250
Kensington VIC 3031, Australia
6th Aug 2026
We are emptying our home in preparation for it to be painted. We need to move a king mattress, couch, fridge, entertainment unit and tv x 2, dresser, and a couple of other pieces down stairs into the garage, where they will be stored whilst the painting happens. There is no removing of any items from the property. It is a task of moving items from the house down into the garage (therefore, no Ute/truck required, just two people with strength and coordination!). The stairs have a turn at the bottom. It will not be a problem, but it’s worth knowing, as it’s a tight space.
Help me move a large heavy marble table

Lift 85" TV onto console, fit stand + anchor to wall
$180
Prahran VIC 3181, Australia
30th Jul 2026
Timing: Friday 31 July from 5:00pm. The delivery window is 1:41–4:41pm so I can't pin the exact minute the carton lands — 5pm is the safe start, but if you're close I can ping you when it arrives if you want to knock out job earlier. Moving in Friday and need a second pair of hands for one job. Should be well under an hour. The TV is a Hisense 85" — 1.89m wide, 34.6kg bare panel. It gets delivered in the carton that afternoon and left at the door, still boxed. What I need: Two-person lift out of the carton (I can be person #2). Panel face-down onto the packaging so the centre pedestal can be fitted (7 x M5 screws, all supplied in the box). Hisense's own manual specifies two people for this and they're right — it's a 1.89m panel and I'm not risking flexing it on my own. Lift it up onto the media console — 1.9m wide, 52.5cm high, solid pine. Anchor it. Console strapped to the wall, and the TV strapped to the console. I already have 2 x Perma Child Safety TV & Furniture Anchor packs (4 anchors total). Plasterboard wall — please bring a stud finder and a cordless drill. No wall mounting, no bracket, no TV going on the wall — it sits on furniture. I'll do all the cabling, Wi-Fi and tuning myself afterwards. Ground floor, street frontage, parking permit, no stairs, easy access.
Spectacular service, would recommend

$400

Move heavy items from one apartment to another in the same building. Reserved dedicated lift will be available. No Stairs. Specific items listed below: 1x queen size bed - take apart, move and reassemble. Not actually heavy but I can’t do it on my own 2x queen mattresses 1x large tallboy (very heavy - hardwood - will likely need to move individual draws separate to unit) 1x electric sit stand desk 1x 50” computer monitor 1x 3 seater sofa 1x tv entertainment unit (120cm) 1x 90cm round dining table 1x washing machine 1x fridge (medium size - fridge on top (single door), freezer below. 2x large tvs - 60” and 50”. No specific time - morning or afternoon is ok - but must agree time up front to ensure lift booking can align Remove cupboard door in new apartment (door covers where fridge goes - it is not an integrated door, just really annoying!), put in storage cage in level b1 and take door up from carpark for old apartment and attach.
Chris and Sunny were absolutely amazing. Communicated well, were punctual but most importantly, they worked so quickly and carefully. The best movers I have ever used. I would recommend them to anyone and will be using them in my next move.

Urgent / ASAP preferred. I need 2 boxes containing a sofa moved up to my apartment on level 1. There are 5 stairs to go up to the foyer, and then there is a lift to level 1.

Please also note you will need a second person as I cannot assist. Pickup location: Collingwood VIC 3066, Australia Removals size: Apartment Stairs: At pickup
