How is AAA City Removalist different from other removalist companies?

Prior to booking a move, the team at AAA City Removalist  will ask a few questions in relation to your move to determine the right sized truck based on your inventory, any specialty items (such as antiques, pool tables or pianos) to ensure only one trip is required saving you both time and money. In short, we know, we care and we can save you money.

When do I pay for the removals service?

Payments are made an hour to half hour before the job ends. This allows our system to promptly allocate our removalists to attend to the next closest job in the area.

What are the method of payments you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, (cheques, direct debits and account customers strictly to be organised prior to move day) Will I get a dedicated contact from start to finish? Our office has team leaders and schedulers running and orchestrating the smooth running of our moves statewide.

What's the benefit of becoming a VIP Platinum member?
Can you dismantle and reassemble my items?

We can dismantle and reassemble your items for you. Usually we have the tools on the truck, but we don't carry power tools or any specialised tools. It would be good if you could let us know prior to our arrival on items that needs to be dismantled and reassembled, to help  us plan ahead.

How long will it take to move me?

This all depends on many different factors, including the time required to load, secure and unload your belongings, what level you are on, are we using a lift solely for us or are we sharing, how far the truck is parked from the premises, weather conditions and also the distance between the premises you are moving from and to and how well you have prepared for the move. The more you do beforehand, the cheaper will be for you. The promise we give is this, we do many services apart from Removalists, if we don’t give you a quality relocation, we stand to lose you and your referrals in the other parts of our business. We have grown due to integrity and referrals.

Are there any other additional costs involved in the moving services?

All our pricing is disclosed up front in the email confirmation we send to you as soon as you book.

When should I book my move?

1-2 weeks in advance of the moving date. The earlier the better. The more notice you give, the more likely we can accommodate with the days and times that best suit you and offer you an early bird discount. However, because of our large fleet of trucks, we can normally relocate customers with a same day booking. This is usually because of being let down by other removal companies.

Can I help the removalists?

You may assist the removalists while moving items from your house to the truck which is permitted. However, our insurance prohibits you from entering onto the truck.

Can I reschedule my relocation?

For local relocations, Rescheduling can be done up to 48 hours prior to the move. For long distance and country, please refer to your booking confirmation.

Do you have any cancellation Fees?

For local relocations, Cancellations made less than 48 hours prior to your relocation will forfeit your deposit. Cancellations made on the day of your relocation will incur the minimum charge. For Long Distance and Interstate relocations, this will be advised by your consultant.

How much should I pay for moving furniture?

Visit us at https://www.aaacityremovalist.com.au/two-guys-and-truck-prices-sydney/ but for a quick synopsis, the below may be used as a guide:

  • Studio Apartment Removals: A studio apartment typically takes two movers about three to four hours to relocate. At three to four hours spent relocating the home, the homeowner can expect a moving cost of about  $400 ex GST to $650 ex GST.
  • Two Bedroom Apartment Removals: A two-bedroom apartment typically takes two movers about four to six hours. For $140 per hour, the estimated cost of the relocation of a two-bedroom apartment is estimated at $550 ex GST to $800 ex GST.
  • Three Bedroom Home Removals: You can expect a higher rate for a three-bedroom home, simply because the Home Movers will likely need to use a larger truck. Expect an increase of $10 per hour for 2 guys and a truck in Sydney for around $145 ex GST. If three men are required, expect a cost of about $200 per hour. The time involvement to move a three-bedroom home is, on average, five to 8 hours. Therefore, the estimated cost to move a three-bedroom home in Sydney is between $715 ex GST to $1300 ex GST.
  • Larger Homes Removals: The estimated cost to move a larger home is typically between the range of $150 to $200 per hour, creating a cost of between $900 ex GST to $1600 ex GST. The actual price may be higher or lower, depending on various factors. With larger homes, you need a larger workforce than two guys and a truck, often requiring four movers to relocate the home, adding to the moving cost. The items in the home also influence the price.
How much should I budget for a move?

The overall cost will hinge on multiple factors, such as distance, the volume of things you are moving, the number of workers you need, and the total amount of time they spend moving your stuff. AAA City Removalist has packages that can reduce costs. For a 1 to 2 bedroom house will only need two men and a truck, costing you about $68 per half hour.
