    After getting quotes from a range of movers, we decided on Chess as they provided an upfront quote with clear pricing and a obligation-free visit from Ciaron to our apartment to assess our items. The team provided us with boxes, paper and portable robes beforehand (they also got the number of boxes we needed exactly right). The team was professional and efficient for our move out and move in. After we had unpacked, the team came back a week later to pick up the boxes and paper. A big shout out to Ronnie, Cody and Jay for their help. We would highly recommend Chess to anyone looking for a great, competitively priced move.

Frequently asked questions

How much do removalists typically charge?
Removalist costs vary widely depending on job type, distance, crew hours, packing services and access complexity. Quotes commonly combine a call-out or minimum charge with hourly crew rates, plus materials and any travel or after-hours premiums. This page shows live pricing to help you compare options for your specific move.
Do removalists charge call-out fees?
Yes — many removalists charge a call-out or minimum attendance fee that is listed separately from labour and materials. After-hours or weekend work is often charged at a higher rate, sometimes as a multiplier of the standard hourly rate. Always confirm whether a quote includes travel or minimum charges.
What qualifications should I look for in a removalist?
Removalists aren't government-licenced, so look for industry credentials and verifiable business registration such as AFRA or MSAA affiliation and an active ABN. AFRA accreditation is voluntary but often indicates audited equipment, staff training and insurance standards; also check for public liability, carriers' liability and goods-in-transit cover.
