About storage
When settlement dates do not line up, removalists offer storage in their own facilities, usually in sealed wooden modules packed once at your home and opened once at the destination, which halves the handling compared with self-storage. Compare the weekly rate, insurance while stored and any transfer fees. For short gaps of a few weeks, module storage through the removalist is almost always cheaper overall than renting a self-storage unit and moving twice.
Getting quotes in Sandy Bay
When you enquire about storage, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for storage is flexible, include that in the Sandy Bay request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
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.
