Any Grab style for Lorries who could move a fridge? I just need a lorry with 1 fridge moved cheaply
Otherwise not quite Grab style, but I am wondering if there is any style of movers that can pickup *whenever they like* and deliver *whenever they like* within a day or so. It would be a much easier option than the direct - come direct to me, put in 1 fridge, drive direct to second location, etc
They could schedule like a normal commercial delivery with items from a few people on the same truck
Anyway - anyone know of any such service?

Several of them advertise in the classifieds on this site. I've used a couple from time to time but so long ago now that I cannot give a recommendation.

Thanks. I looked at the ads here first and there are a few - but they all seem that style of point to point 1 customer focused move rather than a move it when they are already in that direction type of move, or a guy with a lorry trying to pick up a few bucks

I've never heard of anyone doing this type of the service. Personally I doubt there is one around. This would need to be rather big company with multiple request every day across the whole island so they would be like a post or courier services.
But if you look around you should be able to find many one-three men companies offering just point to point transportation of bulk items at anything between $40 and $100.

I misread your original post. Never heard of people just driving around picking up stuff except for Karung guni. Like x9200 says, $40 to $100 depending on distance, quantity, number of flights of steps, etc.
