Moving a single fridge or couch across town costs R450 to R900 with a mini van or 1 ton bakkie, driver included. You pay for the vehicle and the distance, not the weight, so a fridge, couch, bed or washing machine all cost about the same for the same trip.
Get an instant quoteCouriers price per kilogram and per size band, which makes a 70 kg fridge or a 3-seater couch expensive and slow: collection depots, repacking and multi-day delivery windows. A bakkie trip is door to door in one go: collected from your kitchen, delivered into the new one, same day.
Add a helper to your booking if the item needs two people on stairs. The driver plus one helper handles almost any household appliance or couch.
Technically yes, but courier per-kg pricing makes appliances expensive and they rarely deliver into your kitchen. A bakkie with a driver costs R550 to R900 across town and is same-day, door to door.
Between cities a fridge travels best on a shared or dedicated bakkie trip. Use the quote form with both addresses for an instant price; long distance rates start around R8 per km for the vehicle.
A couch fits in a mini van, 1 ton bakkie or closed truck. Wrap it in a blanket or plastic, load it base down, and strap it. A driver plus helper carries it in and out; add the helper at booking.
Upright is best. If it must lie down, lay it on the side opposite the compressor lines, then stand it upright for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) before switching it on.
