why the fixed price holds in melbourne.
melbourne's suburbs have wildly different access profiles. CBD high-rises operate under strict Owners Corporation rules — no approval, no move. tram tracks on Smith St, Brunswick St and St Kilda Rd mean a removalist truck can't just park anywhere — they need to know the route constraints before accepting the job.
on traditional quote platforms, these constraints are invisible. the quote is calculated from bedrooms alone. the "extras" surface on moving day — after you've already committed. the removalist didn't know about the tram stop, the narrow lane, or the heritage building.
at minougo, access constraints are declared during the inventory: OC approval status, loading dock booking, tram-adjacent street, driveway gradient, heritage overlay. the removalist receives all of this before accepting. they accept with full knowledge — that's why the fixed price can hold. no surprises, because nothing was hidden.
