Fragile items were well protected, everything was transported safely and the pricing was transparent with no hidden charges.”

“I’ve used this removalist multiple times now and they’ve been excellent every time. Communication is clear and timely, they show up when they say they will, and they genuinely take care when handling furniture and belongings. The most recent move was smooth, efficient and stress-free.”

Heavy, fragile and awkward items deserve a real plan.
Pianos, marble and stone tables, glass, safes and oversized furniture change the equipment, crew and access plan. We assess those details upfront instead of treating every item like an ordinary box.

Frequently asked
Useful answers before you request a quote.
Every move is different, but these details prevent most surprises.
Is 1300 NEXT WAVE NextWave Movers?
Yes. 1300 NEXT WAVE, also written 1300 NEXTWAVE, is the phoneword for NextWave Movers. Dial 1300 639 892 to discuss a home, office or interstate move with our Melbourne team.
What information do you need for a moving quote?
We need the pickup and delivery locations, preferred date, property access, an inventory or clear description, and details of any stairs, lifts, long carries, fragile pieces or heavy items.
Do you move pianos and marble tables?
Yes, subject to an access and item assessment. Send measurements and photos of the item, doorways, stairs and both access paths so we can plan the right approach.
Can you help with regional or interstate moves?
Yes. NextWave Movers handles moves across regional Victoria and interstate routes from Melbourne. The quote depends on the load, access, timing and whether the move is direct or can use a shared-load option.
Can you disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes, when included in the agreed scope. Tell us which items need work before the quote is confirmed so the labour and tools can be planned.
Do you service Craigieburn, Beveridge and Melbourne’s northern suburbs?
Yes. We service Melbourne metro, including Craigieburn, Beveridge, Mickleham, Donnybrook, Kalkallo, Wallan and surrounding northern suburbs, subject to the route and booking availability.
How do you price an interstate move?
Interstate estimates consider the route, inventory, truck capacity, crew time, access and a fuel allowance. We do not present an interstate move as a simple local hourly calculation; the customer-facing range reflects the whole trip.
What size truck will my move need?
That depends on the inventory, bulky items, access and whether a second trip would be practical. We use the information and photos supplied to recommend the right crew and truck package rather than relying on bedroom count alone.
What should I do before the movers arrive?
Finish packing and label boxes, clear walkways, reserve lifts or loading bays, arrange parking and flag pianos, marble, glass, safes or other difficult items before move day.
