The Sweenie story.
Sweenie Moving was founded in 2013 by Shaun and Denise Sweenie with a vision to become the best moving company in Victoria.
With more than 30 years experience in the moving industry, we knew we had what it takes to become a top contender in the industry. Since then, we have grown our family owned business into one of the most trusted moving brands in Victoria. We have expanded our fleet and our staff while maintaining a personal touch and excelling customer service.

Sweenie is fully equipped to manage your commercial move from start to finish. We work with you through the estimation and planning phases through to completion to ensure your satisfaction.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
