Sydney to Melbourne Interstate Removalists

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long will it take to move from Sydney to Melbourne?

Our standard delivery time frame from Sydney to Melbourne is 24 hours if you’re booking an entire truck. For smaller moves, your items will be included in a shared load, so the delivery timeframe will depend on when that combined job is scheduled to depart.

 

Is there a minimum move size between Sydney & Melbourne?

The minimum move size for Sydney to Melbourne is 5 Cubic Metres.

 

Is packing included in the price?

Packing your belongings into our truck is included in the price of your move. Packing your belongings into boxes and preparing them ahead of the move is not included in the price. For a completely hands-off move, we offer a pre-move packing service for just $75 per half hour (+ GST). Two of our professional movers will come to your home or office the day before your move and pack all your belongings, preparing them for the move so you don’t need to lift a finger.

 

Do you provide packing materials and boxes?

Yes, we provide all of the essential packing materials and free boxes to help make your move a success. This includes bubble wrap, packing tape, moving boxes, mattress covers, Port-a-Robes, moving blankets, butcher’s paper, and wrapping paper.

If you need extra supplies, our box shop offers a range of additional packing materials at competitive prices. All materials are suitable for both home and office moves, whether local or interstate.

 

Can you store my belongings before my move?

Yes, we offer flexible and affordable storage options (typically around 45% cheaper than comparable facilities). If there’s a gap between moving out and moving to Melbourne, we can securely store your belongings for a few days or even a few months – whatever suits your situation.

 

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred departure date and time. As a general guide, try to book at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance to avoid scheduling conflicts or missing out on availability.

 

What happens if something happens to my furniture in transit?

Whilst we do our utmost to ensure that your belongings arrive safely between Sydney and Melbourne, insurance is not automatically included in the price. In fact, no removalist company in Sydney includes insurance in their standard price – it is always an additional cost. For total coverage during your move, we do offer cost-effective insurance for all Sydney to Melbourne removalist jobs underwritten by Zurich Insurance. Please enquire about costs ahead of your move to get a free, no obligation quote for your interstate move.

 

Can you move large and fragile items?

Yes, our AFRA accredited removalist team has extensive experience moving large and fragile items like Piano’s, Artwork, sculptures, and other delicate items between Sydney and Melbourne. We provide free packaging products and do our utmost to keep your items safe during transport by strapping and loading in the safest and most efficient manner possible. 

 

What is the difference between premium direct & backloading?

Premium direct is our premium, white-glove moving service that gives you exclusive use of the truck for your interstate move – no sharing loads. With our premium direct interstate moving service, you’ll be able to select your exact collection, departure, and arrival time with our team to and from your new property. 

Our backloading service is a cost-efficient interstate removalist service between Sydney and Melbourne that offers cheaper rates with lower minimum load sizes. Backloading services mean that you are sharing our truck with other customers. Backloading is perfect for those smaller moves or when you only need to move a few items.
