Every mainland corridor, plus Tasmania

Interstate removals, priced by the space you actually use.

You are not buying a truck. You are buying the cubic metres your belongings occupy on one, and if your dates can move, you can buy them considerably cheaper.

What you get

What an interstate move includes.

An interstate load sits on a truck for days before anyone opens the doors again, and that changes how it goes on.

Volume worked out properly

Your cubic metres estimated from the size and contents of the property, not guessed from a bedroom count.

Built for the distance

Built in tiers and roped off tier by tier, because the load has to hold together over days of road, not just the walk out to the truck.

Dedicated or backloaded

A truck booked for you alone, or space on one already running your route. You choose, and your quote prices both so you are choosing with the numbers in front of you.

Delivery and placement

Unloaded at the other end and carried into the rooms you want them in.

A stack of cartons strapped to a two-wheeler trolley, tipped back at a driveway crossover.

What changes the price

Why the route matters more than the distance.

Interstate is sold by space, at a rate set by the corridor. Some corridors have trucks every day; some have very few.

  • Sydney, Melbourne, BrisbaneTrucks run this triangle daily. More traffic means more spare space heading your way, which is why rates on the east coast are generally more competitive per cubic metre.
  • Adelaide corridorsRegular and reliable, modestly dearer per cubic metre than the east coast.
  • Perth and DarwinLong hauls with far fewer trucks on them. Expect a higher rate per cubic metre, and give more notice than you would on the east coast, because something has to be heading that way before your things can.
  • TasmaniaIncludes the Bass Strait crossing, which is a sea freight leg on top of the road legs.
  • Flexible datesThe single biggest lever you control. Accepting a window rather than a fixed day lets your things travel on a truck already going your way.

The questions that set the price

This is the part everyone else skips.

Most forms want a name and a postcode and leave the real questions for a call you are still waiting on. Answer them here instead. It takes a few minutes, and it is the difference between a quote and a guess.

It needs JavaScript, and something is stopping it. Rather than have you answer seven questions that would go nowhere, here are the two routes that work without it.

Step 1 of 7
What kind of move is it?

These two types of moves are priced differently. Local is charged by the hour, interstate by the cubic metres your things take up on the truck.

Where are you moving?

The suburb is enough. The postcode and the state fill themselves in.

Moving from

Moving to

Local work is charged by the hour, and the rate follows the city the truck and crew come out of. Rates in Melbourne and Sydney are higher than in Brisbane.

How big is the place you’re leaving?

Property type matters as much as the number of bedrooms. A three-bedroom house is usually around 30 cubic metres, a three-bedroom unit closer to 24.

Bedrooms

How full is it?

Boxes alone are usually five to ten cubic metres, the part almost everyone underestimates.

Anything else to clear? Select all that apply.

How easy is access at each end?

A third floor with a lift is a different job from a third floor without one, and the lift usually has to be booked with the body corporate days ahead. We go through parking and the walk from the truck when we ring.

When are you moving?

Weekends cost more, and so does the stretch from the week before Christmas to mid-January, when most leases end. If your dates can shift by a few days, your move may fit on a truck already running your route.

How fixed is that date?

Anything else we should plan for?

Packing can be as much or as little as you want. A piano, a pool table or a safe is a job of its own: different gear, more hands, and its own price on top.

Special items

Where should we send your quote?

That is the hard part done. Everything you have answered goes to the person who prices the move, and they will have read all of it before they ring. The quote comes back in writing, split into lines. It is based on your answers, so it can change if the details on the day are materially different.

Thanks, we’ve got that.

Your answers are with the person who prices the move. The quote comes back in writing, split into lines, and they will ring to go through it. Your reference is .

Not ready for the full questionnaire

Leave three details.

The person who calls you back is the person who prices your move, not a call centre passing you from one person to another. Submitting this form does not book your move.

Where this usually comes up

The moves people actually make.

  • Sydney to MelbourneThe busiest corridor in the country, and the one with the most competitive rates.
  • Melbourne to BrisbaneLong, but well served. Backloading is usually worth considering here.
  • East coast to PerthThe longest haul on the mainland. Book early and be as flexible as you can.
  • Anywhere to TasmaniaRoad plus sea. Timings depend on the crossing as much as the drive.
  • Regional to capitalOften a backload in one direction, which can work strongly in your favour.

How it works

Four steps, and you are only committed at the third.

  1. 01

    You answer

    What you have, where it is going, and every awkward thing about getting it out of one place and into the other. The awkward things are the ones that cost money.

  2. 02

    We price it

    Off our own rate card, split into lines, in writing. Then a short call about what a form still cannot see: the carry to the truck, the turn at the top of the stairs, whether the lift has to be booked with the body corporate.

  3. 03

    Book your date

    A deposit over the phone confirms your booking and allows us to arrange your move. You will know the truck size, the crew size and when they are due.

  4. 04

    Moving day

    The independent removal provider booked for your date does the move. Beds go back together first, and cartons go into the room they were labelled for.

Straight answers

The questions people ask before they ring.

What is backloading, exactly?

When a truck is already running your route with space left over, you pay for that space rather than for the whole vehicle. The trade is flexibility: you accept a window for pickup and delivery instead of naming a day. On a typical interstate move it is a substantial saving, and your quote prices it both ways rather than showing you only the dearer one.

How long does it take to arrive?

It depends on the corridor, and on whether the truck is yours alone or you are on a backload. East coast runs are quick. Perth and Darwin run into weeks rather than days, and a backload adds a window at each end because the truck is working to more than one job. A realistic window is worth more than a best case.

Is there a minimum size?

Yes. Interstate work carries a minimum load size, so very small jobs price at that minimum. If you are moving only a few items, ring us and we will tell you straight whether an interstate move is the right way to send them.

Can things be stored in between?

Yes, storage can be arranged if your dates at either end do not line up. It is common on interstate moves and worth raising early, because it changes how the load is handled.

How do I know how many cubic metres I have?

You do not need to. We work it out from the property type, the number of bedrooms and how full it is, and the more detail you give the closer it lands. Boxes are the part almost everyone underestimates, usually five to ten cubic metres on their own.

Often part of the same job

Most moves need more than one of these.

Storage Settlement moves. The new place is not ready. You are going overseas for six months. None of it is unusual, and none of it should mean moving twice.
