Pricing
Pricing for interstate moving is based on two main factors; where it is going from and to, along with the volume of goods being sent. Other factors which affect the pricing are: access conditions, dates and the extent of service. Pricing starts from $330.00 for moving a singular item depot to depot up to many thousands of dollars for large houseloads.
To move as cheaply as possible the key is to ensure you only take what you will use and want to keep. Packing cartons yourselves will save a lot of work for the removalist and therefore be cheaper. But do ensure you pack into strong suitable cartons that are stackable so they can be safely transported. Large items that take up considerable space, such as wardrobes, are very expensive to move. Sometimes more costly than the items value. If you are moving on a budget, make sure you limit the large items. When moving a small amount, it will increase the transit time taken. This is a similar process to backloading, a handful of clients share the cost of getting goods transported.
Local moving for a small household (3 bedroom, suburbs close by in Perth metro area) excluding packing would perhaps range from $900 – $1500 pending locations, access and volume. If there is such a thing as an average; Moving interstate for a small household (3 bedroom avg) could range from $4,500.00 for Adelaide up to $7,000.00 for Brisbane. These rates can increase by as much as 30% or more during peak periods.
As there are so many variables in moving, we do always recommend an onsite quote or online inventory completion for anything more than a handful of goods is the most accurate pricing option. This is obligation-free.
Shipping Times
Transit times can vary pending locations. An interstate move across the country can sometimes be less than a week. Although more commonly 2 – 4 weeks. The more goods you are sending the quicker the service will generally be. One house load for example in a container can be sent straight away. Though when sending a small amount, we need to consolidate freight, this way each client pays the portion of cost the use in the container/truck. This takes time and logistical planning to be both cost and time efficient.
