About interstate moves
Interstate removals are quoted on volume in cubic metres and the route, either as a dedicated truck with fixed dates or as backloading where your goods share space on a truck already making the trip for 30 to 50 percent less. Quarantine rules matter when crossing into some states, particularly for plants, soil and outdoor gear. Get the delivery window in writing either way.
Getting quotes in Canberra
For interstate moves, ask each removalist two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Canberra. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Capital Cities run.
Local knowledge counts
Canberra sits in the Capital Cities area, which means several removalists are normally within a short drive. Mention your suburb when you enquire so travel is built into the price from the start rather than appearing on the invoice later.
Quick answers
Should I pack myself or pay for packing?+
Packing yourself saves $300 to $800 but takes far longer than people expect (a 3-bedroom home is 60 to 100 boxes). Professional packers do it in hours and their packing is usually covered by transit insurance. A common middle path: pack books and linen yourself, pay for the kitchen.
What will removalists refuse to move?+
Standard exclusions: gas bottles, chemicals, paint, plants (restricted interstate), perishable food and sometimes pets and firearms. Empty the fridge and defrost it 24 hours ahead, and drain fuel from mowers and tools.
How much do removalists cost?+
Local moves typically cost $120 to $180 per hour for two movers and a truck. A 3-bedroom local move usually lands between $600 and $1,500. Interstate is quoted by volume and distance; Adelaide to Melbourne for a 3-bedroom home is commonly $2,000 to $4,500.
