How to move a furniture bundle: van hire, GoGet and removalists in Sydney

2 min read

You bought a bundle: a whole flat of furniture from someone nearby. Now it needs to travel a few suburbs. The good news is a bundle is usually a short local move, often within the same suburb.

One thing up front. Bundle helps you sort out collection, but Bundle does not do the transport itself. We are not a removalist and we do not own a truck. The options below are what Sydney movers actually use. We have no partnership or deal with any of them. They are here because they are useful, and you book them directly.

Drive it yourself: van share by the hour

If you are happy to drive a van, car share is usually cheapest for a local move. GoGet has vans parked across the eastern suburbs and city, booked by the hour with fuel and insurance included. Book one near the seller's place so you start where the furniture is.

Pick up a van: one-way hire

Prefer a depot van you drive one way? Some providers specialise in one-way moves so you are not paying to return it across town. Check the quote includes insurance and a kilometre allowance.

Don't want to drive: hire a person with a van

For heavy items or stairs, hire someone who brings the van and the muscle. Airtasker lets you post the job, compare quotes from local removalists, and check reviews first. For a single-flat bundle this is often a short job, not a full day rate.

Before you hire anything

A mate with a ute and an hour can handle a small bundle. A borrowed trolley makes one person able to shift a fridge safely. Ask both buildings about the lift and loading dock. Match the option to the size of the load.

Collection-day plan

  1. Agree a time with the seller through Bundle once your deposit is in and the address is shared
  2. Book transport to start near the seller's place, with buffer on the hours
  3. Bring a hand for anything heavy
  4. Check the bundle against the listing as you load
  5. Pay on handover through Bundle

Most local bundles are one trip and a couple of hours.
