Check the address, not just the postcode
An inner-city loading dock may have a height limit or a reserved time slot. Check street signs and confirm any building permission before arranging the truck.
Count storage cage contents and measure large furniture against the service lift or the building entrance.
Check the City of Melbourne council profile and confirm current parking and building conditions for your exact address. Share the legal loading position and carrying distance before accepting the written quote.

Use the suburb guides for a starting checklist; the access and loading rules still depend on your exact property.
What to send for a written quote
Send both addresses, preferred date, furniture and carton list, and photos of unusual items or difficult access. Include any packing, assembly, extra stop or storage need so it can be assessed with the move.
Some suburbs span council boundaries. Use the property's street address when checking local rules.
Moving to or from West Melbourne?
The Victorian Government lists Melbourne West among the City of Melbourne's localities. For a West Melbourne address, first establish whether the truck can load from a private bay or must use a legal street position. Check the current street signs at the exact address; a nearby loading zone is not automatically available for an entire move.
If it is an apartment or workplace, ask the building manager whether a loading dock or lift must be booked, and get the usable lift and doorway dimensions for bulky furniture. If it is a house or townhouse, note the distance from a lawful truck position to the front door and any steps or narrow entrances. Send us those details along with both addresses, your inventory and preferred date so the team can assess the move.
For the council area and contact details, see the Victorian Government's City of Melbourne profile. Parking conditions and building rules depend on the particular address; confirm them before booking.
