Saturday is the most popular day to move house in Sydney — and for good reason. It doesn't eat into your work week; it gives you the whole weekend to settle in, and it's easier to line up family and friends to help. The catch with many removalists is that this convenience comes with a price tag: a weekend surcharge added straight to your quote.
At Men That Move, we don't do that. We offer one flat rate for moves Monday through Saturday, with no surcharge for booking a Saturday slot. What you're quoted is what you pay, no matter which day of the week you move.
Because Saturday is the default choice for most Sydney households, it's also our busiest day. Removalist crews and trucks are a limited resource, and Saturdays are booked out well in advance of other days.
If you know you want to move on a Saturday, the best thing you can do is lock in your booking as soon as you confirm your new address. Waiting until settlement week or your final lease inspection date often means your preferred Saturday is already gone, leaving you to choose an earlier date, a weekday, or a different removalist altogether.
- Book as early as possible — ideally the moment you have a confirmed moving date, not the week before
- Have your new address and access details (parking, lift access, stairs) ready when you book, so your quote is accurate from the start.
- If your dates are flexible, ask about availability on a Friday or midweek — you'll have more time options and an easier booking process.s
- Confirm your booking a few days out, especially during school holidays or the end/start of the month when demand spikes
You shouldn't have to pay more just because Saturday suits your schedule. With Men That Move, the day of the week doesn't change your rate — it just means booking a little earlier to secure your spot.
