Movers: Getting You From A To B

Moving house is no time to test your strength so let professional movers do the heavy lifting and hard work for you.

moversStress less
It’s no secret that moving house brings as much stress as it does promise, but you can lighten the load by knowing your limits and not pushing yourself too hard.

An average queen size bed can weigh up to 100 kilos, which is a heavy load by any measure, but of course it doesn’t end there. There are also the other big ticket items of the house – such as the lounge and refrigerator – that can do some damage if you try to move them yourself.

Hiring movers for the big day is more affordable than most people think and is a guaranteed way to ease the physical – and mental – stress of moving house.

Movers can be sourced through Service Seeking for as little as $80 per hour but if yours is only a small and quick job you may be able to negotiate the movers' price down to just $20 per hour. Weekends are the busiest time of the week for movers so if you’re able to be flexible and shift you load on a weekday you might also be able to score a discount. 

Not a day for DIY 
If you have priced around the cost of hiring a van or truck to avoid paying for movers, you’re probably surprised to find the difference between leaving the job in the hands of professional movers and doing it yourself is minimal.

If you then factor in the hiring fees for trolleys, straps and more, the gap narrows down to almost nothing. What you can’t put a price on when deciding whether to hire movers or not is your safety. Without all the necessary equipment and experience you ran a great risk of injury if you choose to handle your move yourself. 

Why hire movers?

  • Even if you’re moving only a suburb or just a street away, the physical strain of all the heavy lifting is the same so don’t fool yourself into thinking any move is an easy one.
  • Movers have experience dealing with valuable and fragile items, which are better left in their trusty hands than your clumsy ones. 
  • Driving a truck – even a small one – isn’t a skill that comes naturally, so if you’re not confident handling a larger vehicle it’s best to let movers who do it day in and day out do it for you.
  • For an interstate move professional movers are a must to ensure your life’s load is secure for the long journey.
