Since the onset of Covid-19, road speed restrictions have increased. However, this hasn’t affected the quality of the moves we undertake. While it has been a challenge, we have consistently managed to come out victorious.
So when we were recently approached by a client who wanted to move from Lakes Entrance to Melbourne, we were sure we could handle it. We quickly sent an inventory for the client to fill and sent them a quotation thereafter. Because the client lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment and had few items, we concluded that 2 movers would be enough for the move.
On the day of the move, they arrived bright and early, with all their moving tools in hand. They quickly took apart the client’s furniture and wrapped it up in wrapping paper and blankets, making sure to safely transport it to the trucks. Once all the packing and loading was over, they hit the road.
Ultimately, the journey was smooth, despite the increased road speed restrictions. In fact, the movers arrived earlier than they had expected and finished unpacking with a lot of time to spare. Not only were the movers professional and efficient, but they were also friendly with the client, creating a rapport that has endured to date.
It’s therefore not surprising that the client not only gave us a 5-star review but also recommended his friends and family to us.

Having a pet is a lot of work – in many ways it’s like having a child. As such, we understand how important it is to hire movers that care for your pets. Fortunately, we are those types of movers – we ensure that both your belongings and pets reach their new home safe and sound.
So when a client recently approached us to move her stuff and cat into a new house within Melbourne, we were eager to help. Our staff members arrived at the 2-bedroom house on time and started packing and loading her furniture and appliances into our trucks. And since she had done some packing by herself, things moved rather swiftly.
In fact, the only processes that took a significant amount of time were taking apart the furniture and properly wrapping large appliances. Otherwise, everything else was a breeze. Even convincing the stressed-out cat to get into its cage wasn’t that hard. And since the client was simply moving from one region of Melbourne to another, the journey was quick and stress-free.
Not only did the movers reach the destination early and unpack quickly, but the cat got there safely as well. Since then, the client has given us a 5-star review and has hired us again and again. Beyond that, they have referred us to several of their friends and family members.

If there’s one thing that makes us stand out from other movers, it has to be our attention to detail. No matter how many things you want to move, Jake removalists Melbourne will ensure that every little one will arrive safely and quickly – even your plants will be grateful. So when we recently got a call from a client looking to move his family from one 4-bedroom house to another, we were sure we could handle it.
First of all, we went over to their house and helped them take inventory of all the stuff they were moving. While we would ordinarily just send over a checklist for a client to take inventory themselves, we felt that the size of the move warranted an extra pair of eyes. So we sent over a team member to handle that.
After setting the date and time of the move with the client, we organised a team and ensured we had allocated enough trucks for it. Once the day of the move arrived, our team members arrived on time and started carefully packing the client’s items into the truck. This involved taking apart large pieces of furniture, using doilies to move things around, and wrapping everything in blankets or wrapping paper.
They also ensured that everything was arranged properly in the truck to avoid breakage. Needless to say, by the time we finished our 4-hour journey to the client’s new place, everything was intact. In fact, the client was so pleased with Jake removalists Melbourne’s services that they referred their friends to us.

Since the onset of COVID-19, everyone’s life has changed. The way we do business has particularly changed, with a lot more attention being paid to hygiene and health. As such, it is now commonplace for employees to be unavailable on short notice, forcing businesses to be flexible and adaptable in ways they wouldn’t have to before.
For instance, a key member of the operations team can suddenly test positive for COVID-19, leading them to get quarantined or even hospitalized. Alternatively, they could unwittingly have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, forcing them into isolation and mandatory testing.
Case in point, we recently had a team member miss moves because of a COVID-19 related case. This particular team member had unknowingly had dinner in the same restaurant as someone who ended up testing positive for COVID-19, classifying them as a close contact. As such, they couldn’t show up the next day for moves and had to stay home until they got a negative test.
However, all was not lost – our admin team responded swiftly. They quickly organized a backup team to do all the moves for the day, effectively avoiding any delays. This is a testament to the fact that we have an organized and highly competent team. Our staff is highly communicative and collaborative.
Ultimately, they have each others’ backs and are willing to go above and beyond to ensure that all our clients’ moves go safely, smoothly, and on time.

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more people have been creating entertainment rooms in their homes. And with this, there has been an increase in the popularity of entertainment staples like pool tables. While these are quite heavy, we can help you out when you eventually need to move to a new place.
Here at Jake Removals, we have been moving different sizes of pool tables for years, and have gotten really good at it. No matter how heavy yours is, we can help you out.
When moving a client from one part of Melbourne to another, we recently had to move one of these tables. While it was one of the heaviest pool tables we have ever dealt with, we had both the equipment and expertise for the job. On the day of the move, we showed up with trucks that have hydraulic tailgate lifts.
These trucks are specifically designed to easily move heavy and delicate equipment. As such, they’re usually quite useful during our moves. In this particular case, they made moving the pool table a breeze. But this is not all we relied on – we also used specialized equipment to ensure that the table wasn’t damaged during the move.
Ultimately, the whole process lasted less than an hour, and the pool table got to the new place in good condition. The client was so thrilled that they hired us again for a different move.

Whether you are a piano enthusiast or even a music teacher, moving your upright piano is not something you should leave to just anyone. Since these instruments can weigh up to a thousand pounds and have thousands of moving parts, they can easily be damaged during a move. As such, you need to hire professionals like us who will ensure that they reach their destination in one piece without costing you a fortune.
Over the years, we have moved several upright pianos and have developed quite a knack for it. All our staff are trained on how to safely move even the heaviest upright pianos and are always looking for opportunities to do so. So when a customer hired us to move their piano from South Melbourne to Cranbourne, we were ecstatic.
We arrived at the premises early and began working immediately. First of all, we checked on the doors and passages to ensure that nothing would nick or obstruct the piano as we moved it outside. Secondly, we taped the lid over the piano and wrapped its pedals using plastic wrap.
Thirdly, we used heavy blankets to pad it on all its sides. Afterward, our 4-man crew lifted it onto the doily and rolled it to the truck outside. All this preparation was done to make sure that the piano would be safe during the entire journey, no matter what bumps were encountered along the way. And it worked – the piano got to Port Melbourne safely and in time.

While moving houses was already bothersome before Covid-19, the pandemic has definitely made things much harder. A move that used to take only 30 minutes could take up to an hour because of all the precautionary measures we have to put in place now. And things can become more difficult during periods of lockdown.
However, we still push through in these uncertain times. Since moving houses is still allowed during the lockdown in Melbourne, we have managed to successfully execute moves during this time. In fact, we did one just recently – we helped a family move from Kensington to Carlton.
To ensure that both our staff and customers are safe, we had to require the family to evacuate the house before we came to execute the move – only one family member was present at the start of the move to give directions. Secondly, we asked the family to sanitize all surfaces that are prone to touch before we arrived for the move. These include doorknobs and tabletops.
Thirdly, since the truck only required one truck, we kept the number of movers to two. And to keep them safe, we equipped them with sanitisers and masks. Also, as we usually do before each move since the pandemic hit, we fumigated the truck to eliminate the chances of virus transfer.
Finally, from the beginning to the end of the move, our staff practiced social distancing and behaved professionally. Needless to say, both the customers and their belongings were able to move into their new home safely.

While moving is already quite stressful, unexpected occurrences can make things even harder. For instance, when moving a recent client from one neighborhood to another, something odd happened – the client realized that they had misplaced the keys to the new home. And while this almost never happens, we were equipped to handle the situation.
Since we have a storage facility, we had to store their items there while they stayed in a hotel and worked on getting replacement keys. And as luck would have it, after a day’s delay, we were back in action. Of course, the client had to spend more money than they had originally expected, but there really wasn’t any other choice considering it was too late to go back to the old home.
Ultimately, it was a tough situation that our team handled with grace and poise. After being informed of the change of plans, the moving team quickly went to the storage facility and safely unpacked the luggage. And when it was time to move to the house in Richmond, the same team handled the move. Using tools like ramps, doilies, and bubble wrap, they ensured that even the most fragile of items arrived and were unpacked safely. After all the back and forth, we were happy to be able to maintain high-quality customer service.
The customer was so relieved that they not only tipped us but also referred us to other clients. Ultimately, it is our versatility and highly transparent communication that allows us to navigate such unexpected situations.

If there is one thing we pride ourselves in, it is putting our clients first. That’s why we always give them a choice between cataloging their luggage themselves or inviting us to their homes to do it for them. But with this freedom comes one challenge – sometimes a move requires more trips than what the client had expected. And in such situations, it is up to us to adapt quickly.
In fact, we had to deal with such a case just recently which was moving from Point Cook to Yarraville. A client procured our services and planned to start at 3 pm. It was sure they would only need one 10T truck which is the largest truck we have. However, we were all shocked on the day of the move when we discovered that we would need to do a second trip.
We had no choice but to schedule the next trip for the next morning, even though it was a public holiday. And while it was a tough feat, our dedicated team carried out the move successfully. They picked the remaining items at 8:00 AM and delivered them to the new house by 4:00 PM. Of course, we had to compensate them extra for working on a holiday but we happily did so.
Ultimately, our team aims to provide great customer service at all costs. Needless to say, the client was satisfied and even procured our services when they needed to move again. So if you’re looking for a moving team that quickly adapts to life’s curveballs, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

As we have said before, moving from one state to the other is grueling for both customers and movers. But it is such strenuous situations that separate the amateur movers and the experts. Interestingly, we just recently encountered this.
A client was looking to move from Windsor NSW to Waterways in Melbourne Victoria on short notice. He had just gotten a new job in Melbourne and had to pack up his family and leave immediately. Essentially, we had only a few days to get everything done. And to make matters worse, the client lived in a big home with 4 bedrooms.
To say that things were hectic is an understatement. Ultimately, the only thing that got us through is the fact that our company has a clear outline of what needs to be done in case of such emergencies. So we quickly followed our procedures.
First of all, we sent someone over to the client’s house to take inventory of all the client’s belongings, especially the large items. This helped us determine how many trucks, drivers, and packing materials we would need. Also, we had an agreement with the client on the items that they would need to pack themselves before the moving date.
This was aimed at reducing the amount of packing time required for the move. And since we had let everyone know their responsibilities beforehand, the move went rather smoothly. Our movers Melbourne arrived at the client’s house early in the morning and were done loading the trucks by 9:00 AM.
More importantly, everything was carefully loaded and wrapped adequately to ensure that it remained safe throughout the journey. Within 15 hours, they were already in Waterways unloading the truck. All things considered, we were able to surpass the client’s expectations, something that made him recommend even more clients to us.
