Moves we handle
Most furniture removal quotes are estimates dressed up as prices. You get an hourly crew rate, a truck rate, a call-out, and a line about what happens if the job runs long, which means the real number arrives after the work is done. That is fine for the mover and bad for you, because every delay you did not cause, a lift that will not open, a gate guard who has gone to lunch, is billed to your account.
SHIMI quotes furniture removals the way it quotes everything else: a fixed figure built from the vehicle class your load needs and the distance between the two addresses, with loading and offloading by the driver already included. Nothing runs on a meter. If the building at the far end is slow, that is our problem to solve, not a line item on your invoice.
The trade-off is honest and worth stating: this is a right-sized vehicle and a driver, not a six-person packing crew with materials. If you want your crockery boxed for you, a traditional removals firm is the better fit. If your furniture is ready to move and you want it moved today, at a price you can see before you commit, this is built for you. Most local Gauteng moves are dispatched the same day.

What's included
A quote, not an estimate
The figure is fixed from the vehicle and the distance before dispatch. No hourly meter, so waiting at a boom gate is not billed to you.
Sized to the house
A one-bedroom does not need a removals truck and a three-bedroom does not fit a bakkie. Describe the move and we suggest the size that does it in one trip.
Tracked, with proof
Follow the truck on a live link and get a timestamped photo at the far end. Useful when you cannot be at both addresses yourself.
How booking works
Enter pickup & drop-off
Two addresses and what you're moving. We suggest the right vehicle.

Questions, answered
Enter the pickup and drop-off addresses and describe what you are moving. The quote comes back in seconds, built from the vehicle class and the distance, with loading and offloading included. It is the price you pay, not a starting estimate that gets revised on the day.
For most one- to three-bedroom moves, yes, because there is no half-day crew minimum and no hourly meter. The difference is what you get: a right-sized vehicle and a driver who loads and offloads, rather than a packing crew with boxes and materials. For a large house that needs packing, a full-service firm may suit you better.
No. The driver loads, transports and offloads furniture and packed boxes, and helps carry at both ends. Packing crockery, wrapping artwork and supplying boxes are not part of the booking. Have things packed and ready and the move runs quickly.
A one-bedroom flat generally fits a 1.5-ton truck, a two- to three-bedroom home fits a 4-ton, and a larger house with bulky furniture wants an 8-ton. Describe the rooms when you book and we suggest the smallest vehicle that still does it in a single trip.
Most local Gauteng removals are dispatched the same day. You pick a pickup window when you book and the vehicle goes out once payment is confirmed. For a large move it is worth booking a morning window so there is daylight at both ends.
From the delivery note
“I went to the Rosebank store at 08h30 for a shower door. They didn't have stock so they called the Randburg store. They said I'd have the door delivered by 11am, and true to their word it arrived at 11am! Plus a super communication tool that kept me up to date with the delivery progress. Very impressed, well done.”
“The delivery guys were very friendly, helpful and took care whilst offloading. Well done. Very good service!”
“Quick, timely and efficient delivery. My item arrived in perfect condition. They notified me as to what time they'd deliver, and they arrived on time.”
