Here's what's typically included when you book a moving service on Airtasker:

Move furniture to your new home or apartment

Furniture movers can help move and transport your household items such as beds, wardrobes, sofas and couches, dining tables, and bookcases. Your mover can help disassemble furniture where needed, securely transport them, and then reassamble them if needed.

These services are ideal for house moves, apartment relocations, or moving individual pieces of furniture within your home. When posting your task, you can include details like access, stairs, and item sizes to help match with the right local mover.

To make settling in easier, you can also book services like furniture assembly, so a Tasker with the right expertise can meet you at your new place and help set everything up. Many people also arrange a move-in or post-move clean to get their new space ready to enjoy right away.

Move fragile items to a secure destination

Fragile moving services are designed for items that need extra care during transport. This can include moving pianos you’ve played at family gatherings, moving pool tables that have hosted countless games with friends, or moving artworks and antiques collected over the years. 

Experienced movers use protective wrapping and padding materials like bubble wrap and packing paper, and secure loading techniques to help reduce the risk of damage from common moving mistakes. Describing your fragile items clearly when posting your task helps ensure the right equipment and experience are provided.

Move your belongings to a storage facility

If you need to store items temporarily or long-term, nearby movers can move your belongings to a storage facility of your choice. This option is popular when renovating homes, downsizing, between leases, or preparing a property for sale.

Your mover can pack and unpack your items to help keep them protected during transport and storage, and then help lift and unload your heavy items once they reach the storage facility. You can arrange to move a full household or just selected items, depending on your needs.

Move your household items to another city or state

Taskers can also support interstate moves between cities and states. These services are commonly used for those relocating to a new place, and students moving to or from college dorms or off-campus housing.

Movers experienced in interstate moves can help plan logistics, pack for longer journeys, and coordinate delivery timeframes. You can request door-to-door transport or partial loads depending on your move.

Move smaller loads using shared-load options

Shared load moving offers a more affordable way to transport your items by sharing space on an existing route. This option suits smaller moves, student relocations, or transporting furniture and boxes over longer distances.

Delivery times can be more flexible, but shared load moving often helps reduce overall moving costs. When posting your task, include details about your items and preferred timing to explore suitable options.
