Help lift items from garage into truck

$120

Jerrabomberra ACT 2609, Australia

26th Oct 2026

Seeking 1 - 2 people to assist to move items from a garage into the back of a truck (happy to adjust price based on number of people assisting). The items include boxes, loose items and general household bits and pieces (as shown in photos). The items are all in a central room and ready to be easily loaded (unfortunately I am not able to load due to an injury). Truck will arrive at 9am sharps and I don’t anticipate loading the truck to take more than 2 hours (maximum). 2 people preferred for task but could also complete with the assistance of one person.

Rodrigo packed a truck for me and was fantastic. He was on time, friendly and worked extremely quickly.

Move 2 large heavy planter boxes to backyard deck

$150

Chisholm ACT 2905, Australia

24th Sep 2026

I need 2 large rectangular planter boxes moved from their current location to another area at my home. They are very heavy and will need to be emptied of the soil first, then carried/moved around the side of the house and up a few stairs onto a deck. This is definitely a 2-person job due to the size and weight of the planters. Please bring any suitable moving equipment/trolley if you have it. Once moved, I’d like the soil put back into the planter boxes. Photos attached. I’ve included my hand in one photo for an idea of the size/scale. Job includes: * Remove soil from 2 large planter boxes * Move planter boxes around the house * Take them up a few stairs onto the deck * Position them where required * Put the soil back in Looking for two people who are comfortable moving large/heavy outdoor pots or furniture.

Unbelievable service! Went above and beyond with the job! Highly recommend! Polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable!
