How much do removalists cost for a full day?

Local crews charge $80 to $160 per hour for two movers and a truck, so a 6 to 8 hour full-house day lands roughly $640 to $1,280 in labour, more with premium crews at $180 to $280 per hour. Access is the silent cost: stairs, lifts and long carries all add hours. End of month and weekends are peak pricing, so a mid-week, mid-month move is consistently cheaper. Tip: have everything boxed and disassembled before the crew arrives; you are paying by the hour either way.
