Movers in Kowloon City

Yes, but as a declared specialty item with a surcharge — upright pianos, safes, marble tables and gym machines need extra crew, straps or dollies. Never let a two-person crew improvise a piano move down stairs; ask whether the firm has done that specific item and whether their insurance covers it.

Basic coverage included in most quotes is minimal (often a small amount per item or per kilo/pound). Ask about full-value protection or goods-in-transit insurance, what it costs, and what's excluded — owner-packed boxes are usually not covered for breakage. Photograph valuable items before the move and note any damage on the delivery sheet before the crew leaves.

A man-with-a-van outfit is 1-2 people and a mid-size van — ideal for studio/1-bed moves, single items, and short hops, at roughly half the hourly cost of a full crew. Full moving companies bring bigger trucks, more crew, packing services and proper transit insurance — worth it from a 2-bedroom home upward or when access is difficult.

With a 2-person crew: a studio typically takes 2-3 hours, a 1-bedroom 3-4 hours, a 2-bedroom 4-6 hours, and a 3-bedroom house 6-8+ hours. Stairs, long carries from the truck, and packing on the day all add time — mention them when you get quotes or the estimate will be low.

A studio or 1-bedroom flat move typically runs HK$1,500-HK$4,000, a 2-bedroom HK$2,500-HK$7,000, and larger flats HK$4,500-HK$15,000. Quotes are per job based on your item list; stair access in walk-ups and podium carries add per-floor charges.

Access. Movers price stairs (per floor, per heavy item), long carries from the loading bay, and lift size limits — a sofa that won't fit the lift may need stair-carrying or even hoisting. Send photos of both buildings' access with your inventory to get a realistic quote the first time.
