This is a tricky question, because every furniture removalist in Brisbane will have a different set of fees for their services. The way that furniture movers in Brisbane rate their services is based on many factors, including their reputation, the types of services they offer and the distances involved.

Obviously, you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for removalists, but short of ringing around every furniture removalist in Brisbane, how are you going to know what is and isn’t acceptable?

Well, to help you out and to give you some idea of the ball park figures charged by furniture movers in Brisbane, here is a list of reasonable fees you can expect.

All prices quoted to you should include GST, so make sure that these are included in your written or verbal quotes, because otherwise you will be up for some unexpected charges. Also, don’t forget that weekends and public holiday rates will be higher, because they will add a surcharge to the regular rates. So if you need to move during these times, make sure that you ask them for these rates as well.

One final word – most furniture removalists in Brisbane have a minimum charge, so even if they quote you an hourly rate, their minimum charge is usually equal to 3 hours.

• The base rate for 2 or 3 prepackers or unpackers, usually ranges between $99 to $140 per hour.

• Small trucks: With 2 or 3 removalists, and depending on your needs, the rates tend to range from $120 to $160 per hour.

• Medium trucks: With 2 or 3 removalists, the rates tend to range from $145 to $185 per hour.

• Large trucks: With 2 or 3 removalists, the rates tend to range from $185 to $225 per hour.

As you can see, the more removalists and the bigger the truck you need, the higher the costs. Extra removalists usually come in at about $45 per hour, so if you need 4 removalists you need to add another $45 to the base rate as well.

Lastly, if you have heavy items, such as pianos or pool tables that need to be moved, then you will need to ask the furniture movers in Brisbane for a price, as these are considered to be extras.
