Overview
Removals is what we actually do
1300 On The Move is a dedicated Australian removals business, not a listings directory. Furniture removals have been our core service since 2007, and the people quoting your job are the people arranging it.
Every move is different, so we ask about the furniture, the access and the dates before quoting, then agree a price with you and stick to it. On the day, furniture is wrapped and protected, loaded properly and placed where you want it rather than stacked inside the front door.
What we move
Types of furniture removals
House removals
Full family homes including the garage, shed and yard. Furniture is wrapped, loaded and placed room by room at the other end.
Apartment & unit removals
Lift bookings, loading docks and height clearances planned in advance so the crew is not waiting on building management.
Small moves
A studio, a single room, a few items of furniture or one bulky piece. Priced for the size of the job rather than a full-home minimum.
Office furniture removals
Desks, workstations, storage and IT furniture moved outside trading hours where a building allows it.
Furniture pickup & delivery
Marketplace buys, retail collections and single-item transport, including the loading and unloading at both ends.
Interstate removals
Household moves between major cities and regional centres. Availability and timing for your route are confirmed when you enquire.
What's included
Careful handling, start to finish
- Blanket wrapping and protection for timber, glass and upholstery
- Trolleys, straps, ramps and the right vehicle for the access available
- Loading, transport, unloading and room-by-room placement
- A price agreed before the work starts, not estimated afterwards
- A confirmed arrival window and a call before the crew arrives
- A final walkthrough so nothing is left behind
Getting an accurate price
What to tell us when you request a quote
The more of this you can give us up front, the closer your quote will be to the job that actually happens on the day.
- 01
Pickup and delivery addresses
Distance, property type and likely street access all come from the addresses.
- 02
Access at both ends
How close the truck can park, driveway width and gradient, docks, gates and loading zones.
- 03
Stairs and lifts
Flights of stairs at each address, internal or external, and lift bookings for apartments.
- 04
Roughly how much furniture
Bedrooms plus the garage, shed, patio and study. Photos are the fastest way to get this right.
- 05
Heavy or unusual items
Pianos, safes, pool tables, stone tops, large mirrors and gym equipment need planning.
- 06
Your date and any flexibility
Fixed settlement dates and lease ends matter. So does a day either side if you have one.
