Packing, Timing & Costs – What to Expect

Interstate moves are a step up in planning. You’ll need to think beyond boxes and bubble wrap. Let’s break down what matters most:

📦 Packing for Long Hauls

Packing for an interstate move means securing your items for long hours in transit, changing weather, and multiple handlings. We strongly recommend starting the process at least 2 weeks in advance.

If you're short on time, our pre-packing services ensure everything is wrapped, labelled, and protected by professionals. Ideal for larger homes, last-minute moves, or anyone wanting peace of mind.

🕒 Timing Your Interstate Move

  • Off-Peak Periods: Avoid school holidays and end-of-month rushes. Flexible mid-week bookings can mean lower costs.
  • Seasonal Considerations: Moves during QLD summer may require earlier start times to avoid heat-sensitive items suffering in the truck.
  • Notice Period: Book at least 2–4 weeks ahead for interstate — especially if you’re moving during peak periods or across state lines like QLD to VIC.

💰 Understanding Interstate Moving Costs

There’s no flat fee for long-distance furniture transport. Our interstate removals are tailored based on the following:

  • Volume and weight of your goods
  • Access conditions at pickup/drop-off
  • Travel distance and route type (e.g. urban vs regional delivery)
  • Fuel, tolls, and overnight holding if needed

If you’re moving heavy or oversized items, check out our special item transport service for peace of mind and proper equipment handling.
