Single Item Removals Melbourne
Only got one or two things to move? Small moves are where it all began for us back in 2008. We shift couches, fridges, beds, marketplace buys and more across Melbourne, quickly and affordably. Below are real average costs to help you plan.
What a small move costs in 2026
These are real averages from our own Melbourne small moves. Your exact price depends on the item, the access at both ends and the distance.

Just because it’s one item doesn’t mean it should be a hassle. Our teams turn up with the right trolleys, straps and blankets, protect your item and your walls, and get it where it needs to go without drama. Perfect for marketplace buys, a new fridge, a couch to a mate’s place, or that one heavy thing you can’t face alone.
No job’s too small for us. Whether it’s one fridge or a full trailer load, you get the same careful team and clear pricing every time. We’ve been moving Melbourne since 2008, and every job is covered by our full transit and public liability insurance plus our Damaged Goods Guarantee, so you can relax while we handle the heavy lifting.
Two sets of hands come standard, so there’s no awkward “grab that end” moment on the stairs. Tell us what you’re shifting and we’ll give you a clear price.
Tips for a smooth single-item move
A few things that make single-item moves faster, and, since we charge by time, cheaper:
- Measure it up. Check your item against doorways, stairwells and any tight turns before the day, so we know what we’re dealing with.
- Sort parking at both ends. A close, legal spot for the truck saves a long carry (and time).
- Clear the path. Move rugs, furniture or clutter out of the way so there’s a clean run from the item to the truck.
- Know exactly where it’s going. Whether it’s a new place, storage, or a mate’s, the more specific you can be, the faster we can get moving.
- Tell us about awkward access up front: stairs, lifts, tight corners, so we bring the right gear and nothing slows us down.

Single-item moving questions, answered
The things Melburnians ask us most before a single-item or small move.
How much does a single-item move cost?
It depends on the item and how far it’s going, but the tiles above show real averages from our own Melbourne single-item moves. Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll give you a clear price upfront.
Do I need to be home for a single-item move?
It’s ideal to have someone at each end to let us in and show us where everything’s going, same as any move. If you need to head off partway through, that’s no problem, our staff are happy to finish up and lock up on their way out.
Can you pick up something I bought on Marketplace or Gumtree?
All the time. Marketplace couches, fridges and furniture buys are some of the most common single-item jobs we do. Get a price in a couple of minutes, or give our HQ a call on (03) 9380 6444 and we’ll sort it from there.
Is there a minimum charge for a small move?
Even a quick single-item job includes our standard call-out and return time, but it’s still usually a fraction of the cost of a full removal, great value for getting one thing sorted.
How quickly can you fit me in?
We’re often available at short notice, but it depends on the day, so it’s worth getting in touch as early as you can. Give our HQ a call on (03) 9380 6444 and we’ll do our best to squeeze you in.
Are there items you can't move?
Hazardous goods like chemicals, flammable liquids and gas bottles aren’t permitted in our vehicles. Pianos, pool tables, joinery and other commercial items aren’t something we move directly, but we can point you to trusted specialists.
Do you charge extra for stairs or a long carry?
Not as a hidden surcharge. If you’re on our hourly rate, extra stairs or a longer carry just mean a bit more time, billed in 15-minute increments like the rest of the job. For fixed price moves, tell us about the access when you book so it’s built into your quote from the start, no surprises on the day.
