Other Important Aspects to consider when moving home in Melbourne.
Only use the services of a qualified AFRA removalists (Australian Furniture Removers Association) – For your peace of mind, AFRA ensure the removalists have quality standards and work practices in place.
Do not just ask for the hourly rate as there are more significant questions to ask as well. Transcorp believe you should not pay for Call Out, Depot Fees or even Credit Card Fees as they should be incorporated within the hourly rate. This is an easy way for the removal company to charge you extra at the end of the move when they have another job around the corner from your move (means 2 or 3 clients are paying call out or depot fees!). Check their hourly rate and ask what it covers (when does the local removal charge start and stop) …is it Door to Door or Depot to Depot? Many customers get caught out as these extra moving charges add up before you know it.
High Rise Apartment Moves – Crane Specialists
Melbourne Removals: Your BEST moving option is a single hourly rate (normally 2 man and Truck) – Door to Door that is local to Melbourne CBD. If your removal is outside the Melbourne CBD, then there should only by a fixed (out of Melbourne metro area) ‘travel’ rate to allow for the time/cost of truck to go to the furthest location and back into the Melbourne CBD.
Ensure you check the Melbourne removalists credentials (do they have an office?) and can they offer you proper quoting documentation via email with Terms and Conditions (before the move) in case of any discrepancies or questions that you may have.
Do the removalists offer storage of your goods? If so, is it their storage facility or are the using a self-storage unit and mixing your goods in with others? It is wise to check the Melbourne removalists storage facility for the safety and protection of your goods. It is too late when the move goes pear shape.
Will the removalists double handle your goods if you are going to/from storage as this increases the potential for damages? Perhaps consider a 20ft container option which general means your goods are typically not double handled. The 20ft container and truck turn up to your place and the removal team load your goods once and drop off the container back to the Melbourne removalists storage yard until you request for the container with your goods to be redelivered back to your new place. This is the safest method and also may mean you save on your removal costs as this process is quicker as it eliminates double handling. Using a 20ft container does depend on the size of move you have to go to / from storage. This normally works well for a well furnished 2 or 3-bedroom home that needs storage. Obviously larger moves can have multiple 20ft containers that provide the same good outcome.
For your peace of mind, can the removalists offer moving and /or storage insurance protection with an official certificate of cover and in your personal name (not the removalists overall company insurance cover)? Be very careful of just promises ‘we break it we fix it’ type of insurance as there are many conditions for the removal company to attempt to get out of a claim. If you are considering removals / storage insurance, it is best to seek an AFRA member as many have the option to provide the correct insurance policies for your move – not just promises.
Consider the quality of Melbourne removalists if you are moving precious items including antiques, heirlooms, expensive couches and beds, paintings, pianos, billiard tables or even if they have the proper tools to disassemble and reassemble items that need to be taken apart? If you have children around during the exciting move process, it is more reassuring if you consider an AFRA qualified removal team, as they also need to pass police safety checks and in most cases working with children clearances.
Do they have the right tools, trollies, protective blankets, tie downs and most importantly good and safe removal trucks to move your belongings?

Removal Insurance
Transit Insurance Cost: Between $250 – $1,000
Regardless how careful the removalists are, there are circumstances where insurance is a wise option to consider. Although it is not compulsory, there are situations where it may be not the fault of the removal team and taking out insurance offers a ‘replacement value’ rather than without insurance which may be on ‘market value’ or ‘depreciated cost’ depending on age of the item. It is wise to only insure through an AFRA accredited removal member as they can on sell the policy due to adhering to strict guidelines. Refer Transcorp Insurance for more information. There are many varieties to insure your goods, from blanket cover to restricted and /or storage cover, the choice is yours to consider and this is best discussed with a qualified insurance representative from the removal company. Perhaps even consider discussing your options with your own home and contents insurance company to see what they will and will not cover during the relocation process?
My wife, Michèle, had spoken with several companies before, luckily, getting on to Transcorp. Quite a few: "it's December so we'll charge you double" (on already high rates). Spoke with Lilly who couldn't have been nicer nor more helpful. On the day, Sonny and his 2 mates were great: right on time; friendly and efficient. Couldn't recommend Transcorp more highly.
The duo of Adam and Sal did an excellent task of navigating a complex apartment layout and delivering an efficient and professional service with cheerful banter along the way. Thanks to the team for the great service!
Had Transcorp handle my move and they were awesome. Super easy to communicate with, everything was packed and secured really well, and the team was just a bunch of hardworking, friendly people. Made the whole move way less stressful! Shout out to Ricky and the whole team
Difficult mid city local as well as interstate backload move. Wonderful communication throughout. Contacted at every stage including storage at their facility whilst awaiting interstate move. Professional, hard working, friendly. Thank you Transcorp workers. Julie Coffey
I moved from the Gold Coast to Melbourne with Transcorp. Moving is traumatic, especially interstate transfers. Stan and Liliana were just amazing. Lots of patience and great advice. I got a great deal on the transfer of my car as well. Highly recommend them.
We had a leather couch delivered by their team, and initially, we had some trouble getting it to fit. However, Shadi and the Transcorp team were very prompt and managed to make it work the following and within a few minutes everything was installed. Thank you! We’ll definitely be recommending them to our friends in the area.
We had a smooth moving experience with Transcorp. The staff was very accommodating and patient when I requested for multiple quotes to figure out the logistics. The pickup and delivery guys were friendly too. I will definitely recommend Transcorp to my friends and family. :)
Monika made the process of getting a quote super easy and organised the move for us very quickly. The moving guys were super friendly and handled everything with utmost care. All-in-all, a great experience!
This is the 4th time now that we have used Transcorp to move house. Each and every time it has been an excellent experience. The team arrived on time and were extremely helpful & careful with our furniture. Wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending...
There was no task too big for these guys.They were efficient , polite and extremely obliging even though we had to change our minds about certain items. I highly recommend Transcorp services for anyone looking at removalists for home or office.
I had a good experience when I moved my furniture from Canberra to Melbourne. Very supportive staff and great service. Highly recommended. Big thanks to Lili, Sam and Nilan/Milan.
I recently used Transcorp for a backend move to relocate a small number of items from Sydney to Tasmania. I was really happy with the customer service from Monika who answered every question I had in the quote stage and beyond promptly. Everything ran smoothly on each end.
Excellent experience. Great communication prior to pickup and very competitive price. The team who collected and unloaded were very friendly and professional and fast! Overall a very positive experience. Thank you!
I recently moved interstate from VIC to WA and used this company. Very happy with their service. Customer service is second to none. They put my mind at ease, answered all my concerns, arrived bang on time, I didn't have to lift a finger. Their follow up and, follow through, was exceptional! They are right up there, as the best in the business, their reputation proceeds them. No damages or losses whatsoever. Worth every penny. Thank you Transcorp, if I ever move cross country again, I know who to call :)
Easy booking process. Transparent pricing. Calm, efficient, friendly movers and thanks to Lilian! From start to finish was an absolute breeze filled with laughs good vibes and constant reassurance that everything would go to plan. On moving day it rained all day, but our furnishings were securely wrapped. Highly recommended. Lilian always picks her phone up and answers any questions you may have. We used them to move from Melbourne to Perth. Will use them again if needed be.
A complicated interstate removal (pick up to a container, then to temporary storage, then to "carry down" to a facility storage container, and then, finally, some items to a home) all conducted over two weeks, was handled smoothly but with a lot of effort (there was a piano!). The Transcorp staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. The removalists were efficient, cheeful, and all round good blokes! Alas, however, my final removal won't be done by them (and nor would they want to)!!! My gratitue and thanks to all who helped.
I had an amazing experience with Transcorp with my move from Sydney to Perth. I booked my move with them at the last minute as I had to change my plan and their team just took me through every details and finalised the booking very quickly. I also had to make several changes to my investory list and the relocation specialist (Lilly) made it work seamlessly. They have literally took away the stress of moving! The movers are very friendly and very knowledgable about how it is best to move my items - I have large furnitures and lived in a small and hard to navigate apartment that they gave me confidence. I am no longer anxious about my items in transit as I am sure that Transcorp team will look after them well. Highly recommend Transcorp for your next move!
The removalist company did a fabulous for my recent interstate move. They are easy and pleasant to deal with, and good communicators and minor issues were resolved with ease and goodwill gesture.
From someone who has had very bad experiences with interstate removalist, I was very scared about putting my belongings on a truck again. But I can 100% say the guys and transcorp were fantastic! Communication was brilliant, timing was either on time or even earlier than expected, the sales ladies I spoke to made the whole process so simple and when I called with a couple questions before the pickup they were answered on the spot and swiftly. Can’t recommend these guys enough!
This is the second time we have had Transcorp move our household items interstate and both times we have been happy with the service. They picked up as arranged, put it into storage for some 5 months and then moved things into our new home without a problem. They asked if the planned delivery date could be brought forward a day with not much not notice but that was ok for us. All the items in the full container were left as packed which was good. A smaller load came about a week later and that was all ok too (although needed a follow up call from us to see what was happening). Overall the service was very good and we would use them again.
Fantastic to deal with during a stressful time. The whole experience was with friendly and professional people, who were happy to answer all questions promptly.
Moved from Adelaide to Melbourne and needed to make a late booking due to a different mover cancelling on us. Raphael and his team took care of everything and made the process easy and took a lot of pressure off us. The person we booked with maintained contact throughout and was very helpful and answered all questions. Raphael the driver gave etas and checked in when close by and came exactly when booked, was friendly and handled our furniture with care. We definitely recommend them and would use their services again.
The team were absolutely wonderful. Ever so careful to ensure furniture was loaded in and unloaded at the other end and no damages. Even manoeuvring around tight corners. Would recommend 100% for the great job.
11/10 Service Received! From the booking process to the uplift, ability to hold whilst waiting on a delivery address, the Transcorp have been amazing to deal with. Easing my anxiety & making everything as simple as possible. Their price was also the best I found, quoting against 6 other companies. I will absolutely use these guys every time I move from now on!
Moving interstate is a quite daunting task. Transcorp were friendly and knowledgeable every step of the way. They were accommodating when I needed to change things. Easy to contact. Great follow up. The removalists were so very careful with our goods. They calling before coming and were on time. 10/10 recommended
