What to know about Large item delivery
Large item delivery is the trade that moves one heavy thing at a time: a spa, a safe, a slate table, a commercial fridge, a wood heater, a ride-on mower, a bath, a shipping crate of machinery. It sits between courier work and removals, and it fails in a different place from either. The transport is rarely the hard part. The last ten metres are, because that is where an item that travelled six hundred kilometres on a pallet has to come off a tailgate, cross a garden and turn through a doorway.

How to choose delivery companies in Margate
- Ask for a written estimate based on an in-person or video walkthrough, not only a phone call.
- Find out whether the price is fixed or based on actual time, weight or volume.
- Ask what coverage is included if something is lost or damaged, and what extra coverage costs.
- Be cautious of movers who ask for a large deposit up front or won't give you a written contract.
- For condos and apartments, check that the mover can work within your building's elevator booking and loading rules.
Questions to ask delivery companies before you hire
- Is your estimate a fixed price, or will it change based on actual time or weight?
- What coverage is included if something is damaged or lost?
- Are there extra charges for stairs, long carries, heavy items or waiting time?
- Will your own employees do the move, or will you use subcontractors?
- How much deposit do you need, and when is the balance due?
- What is your policy if the move is delayed or I need to reschedule?
Large item delivery permits in Queensland
Some large item delivery work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Local Moving guide
A local move is one that starts and finishes inside the same city or region: a unit in the inner west to a house two suburbs over, a Queenslander to another Queenslander, a granny flat to a townhouse.

Common large item delivery questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
