I used this company to help move my stuff into storage. All I can say is Thiago and Bruno are amazing. I am so grateful for them, all my stuff is safe and sound. No breakages and they were so time efficient as well. Would use this company again. Brittany Trimble

Moved a large 4 bedroom 5 minutes down the road last week with the help of Hire a Mover; 4 men, 2 trucks did the job with amazing efficiency and professionalism in about 10 or 11 hours (self-packed). From the quotation, to the confirmation, to the team on the day, the move was one of the best I’ve had. Recommend Hire a Mover wholeheartedly and would use again. Jodi Kukura (Goo Roo Beauty)

Moving is so stressful but the team at Hire a Mover made the move so easy and seamless, I couldn't be more grateful! Originally I was nervous dealing with removalists having had a bad experience in the past. But the team was early, friendly and immediately put me at ease. All three guys were really careful with our things as we had lots of fragile items like paintings, glass furniture etc... They disassembled all our beds and assembled it on the other side. The team lead communicated clearly what's going to happen, and gave me an accurate time estimate of… Yen

Andre and Gaetan were absolutely AMAZING!!! I'd been dreading the move, and have way too much stuff for a one bed flat. I hadn't even finished packing by the time they got there, but wow oh wow, they were helpful, professional, careful, increadably efficient and both with beautiful smiles and an energy that was genuinely considerate. Nothing was too difficult for them, they were really fit, so they managed all carrying with an easy effort and an attitude that matched, so it really was smooth sailing all the way. Thank you again Andre and Gaetan, I'm so very great full… Victoria Hall

I had Eberton and the boys move us from Wooloowin to Mitchelton today and highly recommend them. The were extremely professionally and respectful of our furniture, they were prompt and highly efficient. They had a couple of tricky items that they managed with ease. Thank you so much guys…job VERY well done! Matthew Rogan

Many others have said similar things but Hire A Mover were amazing and a tier above every other removalist company I've used in the past. They were on time, efficient and professional and largely removed the stress of moving. I will definitely use them again for my future moves. George L

Thanks to the team at Proficient Removals / Hire a Mover. The move was a bit bigger than the last time we used you guys in 2021, but the experience was smooth. Booking the move was so simple, with Adam calling up post the website enquiry to get the full details. Adam’s recommendation was to use two trucks and four movers, which was spot on for all the stuff that we had. Once the deposit was paid, the job was setup. Joao, Igor, Fernando and Stefano were a great bunch of guys to have moving a house. Very friendly bunch… Shamir Popat

I cannot rate Hire A Mover - and in particular the team of G, Igor, and Michael - enough. They were careful, considerate, friendly, helpful, and extremely patient with our move which was extended to 11 hours due to a delayed settlement process. If you're planning a move then call these guys (and ask for G, Igor, and Michael). They are superb. Shona Parker

I've used Hire A Mover twice in Sydney Inner-West. In 2021 and now in 2024. Both times I've been so impressed. The best movers I've ever used. All four guys have been friendly, trustworthy, caring and nothing was too much. Both moves were difficult with loads of delicate things, heavy things and long days. Both times the guys couldn't have done anymore. Moving is a pain but these guys make it much easier! Thoroughly recommend. Jim Loz

Quick, efficient, no nonsense small house removal. Used the 2 Men and a Truck service within Adelaide to move the contents of a small home about 40km. Took around 4 hours (we had pre-packed quite a lot). They managed to do it with care to both residences and the contents of the move. They were pleasant and professional, and the static one off fee for arrival/exit is a lot better than the vague "timer starts when we leave the depot and return to the depot" that other movers use. Timer started when they showed up and we paid when they… Morgan Solomon

We had a fantastic experience with Hire a Mover (and hire a box). The two removalists arrived at 8 o'clock on the dot and got straight to work preparing and packing the truck. They were always very clear with communication, clarifying what was and wasn't to be moved and also respecting our items. The house we moved into was freshly painted and there wasn't a mark left on the walls, which was particularly impressive given the narrow hall and some large and heavy pieces of furniture. I couldn't believe how quickly they were able to unpack especially as the day… Alison Lindsay

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Bookings may be cancelled or re-scheduled more than 24 hours before their start time without penalty. Bookings cancelled within 24 hours of the start time are not eligible for a refund or re-schedule and will incur the full fee.

Do you supply boxes and packing materials?

Our packers do not bring boxes or packing materials. These need to be supplied to them by you. Should you require this, we can provide all necessary equipment. We have different packages for different-sized homes, and all packages are discounted by 10% when purchased in conjunction with our packing services.

Our packages include appropriate quantities of boxes and packing materials for homes of all different sizes.

Boxes and packing materials are delivered Monday – Saturday. To check delivery availability times, click here.

Who are the packers?

Our packers are well-trained mature ladies that are experienced in packing and unpacking homes. They are friendly, polite, and professional; and all have passed police checks.

Is there a minimum booking?

We have a minimum booking package of 2 packers for 4 hours. This can be used for either a pack or unpack and costs $480.

How long should i book

Every property is different and therefore have different packing and unpacking time requirements. However, as a rule of thumb:

  • 2 packers can pack / unpack 32-40 boxes in 4 hours (a typical kitchen plus 1-2 other rooms)
  • 3 packers can pack / unpack 60-75 boxes in 5 hours (a typical kitchen plus 3-4 other rooms)
  • 4 packers can pack / unpack 96-120 boxes in 6 hours (a typical kitchen plus 5-6 other rooms)

Can I add extra time?

Yes. You’re able to add additional packing time above our minimum package of 2 packers for 4 hours. Additional time may be purchased in increments of 15 minutes, and will be charged at $60 (incl. GST) per packer per hour.

Additional time may be pre-purchased or requested on the date of the pack/unpack (subject to the packers’ availability). We recommend pre-booking if possible to avoid disappointment.

When should I schedule my pre-move pack or post-move unpack?

We recommend scheduling your pre-move pack for 1-2 days (for regular homes) and 2-3 days (for large homes) before your moving date. We recommend scheduling your post-move unpack for the day after your move.

These timeframes ensure you’re able to utilise extra assistance if required, and that your move is completed without obstruction.

Do I need to be home?

It’s strongly advised that someone be home for the arrival of the packers. Our experienced packers are more than able to get the job done independently, however, you or a nominated person should be available via phone in the event that there are any questions.
