Removals

There are many different types of removals services available;

Discount Backloading Removals;
Generally for smaller loads where there is a bit of space left on the truck which can be filled along the way. This is generally only done on long distance or interstate moves. Most moving companies and removalists have a minimum charge which can vary between $300 - $500 depending on the company and the route.

Interstate Furniture Removals;
Can either be done using interstate furniture removals trucks which vary in size from 40-60 cubic meters in volume right up to semi trailer rigs which can hold up to 100-120 cubic meters - Or they can be done in shipping containers and transported via rail to the destination city and then delivered via a container truck. Both methods have their pro's and cons. Interstate trucks are generally quicker with regards to delivery but containers are better over longer distances, especially when storage may be required if you are still looking for your new home.

Moving Boxes;
Most removalists and moving companies sell moving boxes, additionally you can also visit your local storage facility for moving boxes and packing materials as well.

Pre-Paking;
The vast majority of removalists provide a pre-packing service - which is where they will pack all your belongings into boxes for you. For a standard 3 bedroom home this can cost around $300-$500 on top of your furniture removals price. There are also companies who specialise specifically in packing and unpacking and they can clean and set up your whole house for you.

Storage Facilities;
The moving and storage industries work closely together and whilst some removals companies may have storage facilities, there is a vast number of storage facilities available in every city and town throughout Australia.
