Movers in San Tung Chung Hang

Tipping norms vary by country — common in North America (roughly $5 per mover per hour or 5-10% of the bill for good service), appreciated but not expected in the UK, Australia and most of Europe and Asia. Cold drinks and easy parking access are universally welcomed. Never feel obliged to tip for careless service.

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.

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.

Declutter first — volume drives price, and a skip-load of junk can be cheaper than moving it. Pack yourself, dismantle furniture in advance, book midweek and mid-month, and be fully ready when the crew arrives (hourly clocks run while you tape boxes). Moving the small stuff yourself by car and leaving only furniture to the pros also shrinks the crew hours.

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.
