About Zip Movers
A Hobart moving company that does things properly — on time, on budget, and without the runaround.
Local Removalists Who Actually Care About the Job
Zip Movers started because we saw too many people having a rough go on moving day. Blokes turning up late, furniture getting banged around, quotes that ballooned on arrival. We figured Hobart deserved better than that.
So we built a removals business the way we'd want one to work if we were the customer. Clear quotes with no surprises. A crew that turns up on time, works hard, and treats your stuff with respect. Proper gear. Proper insurance. And someone who picks up the phone when you call.
We know Hobart — the steep driveways, the heritage buildings, the streets where you can't park a truck without a permit. That kind of local knowledge doesn't come from Google Maps. It comes from doing this, here, day after day.
We're not the biggest removalist company in Tasmania and we don't try to be. We'd rather do fewer moves really well than stretch ourselves thin. Every job gets our full attention, whether it's a one-bedroom unit in North Hobart or a five-bedroom house on the Eastern Shore.
Our Values
Straight Shooters
The price we quote is the price you pay. We don't low-ball to win the job and add extras on the day.
Respect for Your Things
We wrap it, we pad it, we secure it. If we wouldn't throw our own TV on a truck unwrapped, we won't do it with yours.
Do the Job Right
We don't cut corners. The truck gets packed properly, the furniture gets wrapped properly, and we don't rush out the door.
Hobart Through and Through
We live here, we work here, and we run into our customers at Salamanca Market. Our reputation in this town matters to us.
Our Mission
Make moving day something people don't dread. Show up prepared, work hard, look after people's things, and charge a fair price. That's it — no corporate mission statement needed.
Why Hobart Locals Keep Choosing Us
There are plenty of removalists in Tasmania. Here's what makes us different — and why our customers tell their mates about us.
We Know Hobart
We live here. We know the one-way streets around Salamanca, the tight turns in South Hobart, and which suburbs need parking permits. That saves you time and avoids dramas on the day.
Planned Around You
Moving a studio flat is different to moving a four-bedroom home. We quote based on what you actually need — not a one-size-fits-all price list.
One Crew, Every Service
Packing, loading, transport, furniture pull-down, reassembly, rubbish removal — the same team handles it all. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no confusion.
Licensed & Fully Insured
We carry comprehensive public liability and transit insurance. If something goes wrong — which it won't — you're covered. No ifs, no buts.
Proper Gear, Clean Trucks
Padded blankets, trolleys, straps, ramps — and trucks that are clean inside and regularly serviced. Your things ride secure, not rattling around loose.
People Keep Coming Back
Most of our work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth. We'd rather earn your referral than spend the money on ads — and it shows in how we work.
