I’m transferring some bulky items from my 2nd floor apartment down stairs to my garage, in preparation for hard rubbish collection in March. I need to move: a dryer (bulky but fairly light), a microwave, planter box (small but heavy), a large rug, some boxes of clothes, a cat scratching pole, old bedding, and some other misc boxes and items that are light but bulky. It must be done on Sunday arvo/evening as I’m about to travel and need these items out of my house beforehand. Expected to take about 1-2hrs, must be able to carry heavy objects and have fitness for going up and down stairs. No transport / vehicle required.

Tarli and her partner were incredibly helpful and efficient at moving household items and white goods into storage for me. Lovely to work with and reliable, would highly recommend!

Move 2 heavy tables

$150

Surrey Hills, Victoria

10th Dec 2025

We have 2 heavy chiropractic tables that needs to be moved from the ground floor to the garage. They are very heavy tables. They need to be taken outside the office(which is in ground floor) and they need to be placed in garage. They need to be moved outside office, then move them through the road and go to the garage behind the office and place them in garage. It only takes about 15 minutes. But need at least 3 people as those tables are heavy.

Very good guy with down to earth attitude
