If any of this information changes before or during the move, the final price may change accordingly.

Unless stated otherwise, quotes are estimates based on the expected time required to complete your move.

Any additions or alterations to the scope of work may be considered as variations and charged at $150 (incl. GST) per hour.

1.a. Travel-Free Area

We do not charge you for travel to or from your job, if it is within approximately 30 minutes of our home base locations.

Charging for travel to or from is at our discretion and will be noted on your quote if its is required.

Note that travel between your two relocating residences is charged as part of the overall job.

2. Pricing

Our pricing is charged hourly unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Our standard rates are:

  • $150 per hour for two Roo's and one truck.
  • $50 per hour for each additional removalist.

All prices include GST.

As a goodwill gesture to show that we look to work efficiently and get the job done as soon as possible, your final invoice is rounded down to the nearest 15-minute increment, saving you money, and thanking you for using RooMoverRoo!

3. Booking Confirmation

Your booking is confirmed once we have:

  • received your booking request
  • confirmed our availability
  • provided written confirmation

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly during weekends and peak moving periods.

To help ensure a smooth move, customers are responsible for:

  • ensuring all items are packed unless packing services have been quoted
  • clearly identifying fragile or valuable items
  • providing accurate information about stairs, lifts and access
  • arranging any required parking permits or loading zones
  • ensuring pets and children are safely supervised during the move and do not obstruct the moving team
  • disconnecting appliances unless otherwise agreed

5. Access & Delays

Unexpected delays can occur due to factors outside our control, including:

  • limited parking
  • lift availability
  • building restrictions
  • traffic
  • weather
  • inaccurate information provided during booking

If additional time is required because of these circumstances, additional charges may apply.

6. Cancellations & Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule your booking, please contact us as soon as possible.

We understand plans change and will always do our best to accommodate new dates where available.

  • antiques, artwork or collectibles that classifies as significant financial asset or has particular personal value
  • fragile items (other than glassware or china typical to a kitchen/dining room setting or the like)
  • unusually heavy items that (e.g. pianos, safes, or objects of excessive weight and size)

Some items may require additional equipment or may not be able to be moved safely.

8. Damage & Liability

We take great care with every move and handle your belongings as if they were our own.

If damage occurs due to our negligence, we will work with you to investigate the matter and resolve it fairly.

  • normal wear and tear
  • items not disclosed as fragile

Customers are encouraged to consider their own contents or moving insurance for high-value items, as standard removalist liability may have limitations depending on the circumstances.

Payment is due on completion of the move unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We accept the payment methods advised at the time of booking (bank transfer only).

Interest may be charged at 10% pa on outstanding amounts.

Our team may refuse to enter a property or move an item if they reasonably believe:

  • the area, property is unsafe to enter
  • entering or moving items could place people at risk
  • damage to property could occur due to unsafe circumstances
  • items exceed safe lifting limits due to weight or bulky nature
  • weather conditions present an unsafe work environment
  • doing so would breach workplace health and safety obligations

The safety of our team, customers and the public always comes first.
