Interstate Removalist

Ensuring you are packed and ready to go will save time and labour costs. You can either pre-book a packing service from our experienced team or carry out the packing yourself.

If you are packing yourself, there are a few things you can do that will expedite your interstate move and also make things more simple when you arrive at your destination. It is recommended that you use proper packing boxes and label them with your name, new address, contact number and the room the box belongs in. Ensure packing peanuts or bubble wrap is placed between fragile items. Do not overload boxes with heavy items or the bottom may give way when it is moved. When the boxes are packed and labelled, place them all in the centre of the room.

Taking apart any furniture that can be disassembled will assist with the moving process and take up less room in the truck, helping to drive down costs. Ensure all of the nuts and bolts, etc., are stored in a secure zip-lock bag and taped to the furniture so they don’t get lost. 

When you first make your booking, we will get a detailed idea of the possessions you have and how much space will be required. If there is not enough room in our truck (which is extremely rare) then we can check the schedule and see if it is possible for a second trip to be made. Otherwise, we can work with you on ways to reduce the volume of possessions going in the truck and that can travel with you in a hire trailer or another solution. 

We know that many people become attached to their potted plants and they are an important part of their interior design. Unfortunately, they are difficult to secure and can carry a range of insects and pests that can damage other materials in transit. There are different quarantine rules at each border as well that can impact the transport of certain flora. It is best to purchase new potted plants at your new destination.

Because of the packing, travel and other arrangements, the overall process can take up to three weeks, depending on your destination. The closer the destination, the less time it will take. We will always endeavour to have your possessions at your new home as soon as possible, without breaking laws or safety regulations like sleeping requirements.

All of our removalists are highly trained and experienced. They will take the utmost care when moving your possessions and all due care will be taken. Unfortunately, accidents beyond our control can still happen. During the removal process, your home and contents insurance will not cover your possessions. Taking out insurance is your protection against freak accidents that can occur despite the best efforts of our skilled and professional removalists.

This is mostly common sense, but any potentially dangerous or illegal items should not be packed. Some potentially dangerous items that people commonly forget include things like the gas bottle for the BBQ or heaters, paints, the fuel can for the lawnmower (which should also be drained of fuel) and flammable materials like nail polish remover and lighter fluid. It is a good idea to not pack any perishable food either as it can be a nasty surprise when it arrives at your destination. Valuables like jewellery and cash should travel with you as well, not in the removalist truck.
