Self Pack, Full Service and Backloading: Budget Moves Bunbury
What options do you have when moving to Bunbury? Can you do it completely on your own or will you need a professional to assist you?
You might be surprised with how many options you have when moving house, from DIY to container hire and more. The right option for you will depend on a number of things including your budget, how much you need to move and how far the move is.
DIY Moves
Self move means that you hire your own truck or UHaul and drive it yourself. You can purchase a truck or a trailer which can be towed by your own vehicle.
This is one of the most popular choices for local moves or even intrastate moves. If you do have to make a few trips back and forth, it tends to be okay. However, if you are moving interstate, you will need to ensure the truck is big enough to hold all of your belongings in one go.
You will need to pay insurance and the hire fee and pack the truck yourself. You will also be in charge of the fuel costs and protective items for your belongings.
The good thing about this option is you can make a road trip out of it and that your belongings remain with you along the way. This is also ideal if you have pets, if you prefer not to fly and if you are wanting to take in the sights along the way.
Hiring Bunbury Removalists
The most popular option for moving, especially if you are moving interstate or long distance, is to hire a professional removalist to assist you with your move.
Removalists are also known as house movers and furniture movers and, essentially do the heavy lifting for you. This is also known as a full-service move. They will pack your contents into a truck for you and then transport your item to your new location. They will also unload your furniture and other items so you don’t have to worry about any of that.
If you are after the easiest and less stressful way to move, this is by far your best option.
You don’t need to worry about insurance, fuel costs, unloading and loading your goods and transporting your items. This is all done for you.
Backloading - Bunbury Backloads
Backloading is another removalist option and is the most affordable option if you are looking to hire house movers. Backloading is when you book available truck space on a large interstate removalist truck that already has a primary load.
You may not need to book the entire truck for your move and thus, with backloading, you only pay for the space that you need.
With a Bunbury backload removalist, you will still receive the same services as a house mover - loading and unloading and transport. You also don’t have to worry about insurance or fuel costs.
FUN FACT: This is one of our specialities at Best Rated Transport and it’s our recommendation for those who do have some flexibility when it comes to their moving dates.
Container Transport (Self-Pack)
Container transport is another smart option when it comes to big moves. These are also known as self-pack moves as you will be unloading and loading your contents into a container. Then a carrier will transport the container from your house to your new location.
If you have your own container, you can pay for “transit only” which means a carrier will move your container from your house to your new location. You will need to pack the container yourself and unload it at your new home, but you don’t have to worry about getting the container onto a truck or finding a way to move it.
If you don’t have a container, you can hire one which involves the same as above, but you will be given a container for 28 days. You then load it up and arrange for pick up and delivery. You can then unload it at your new location before the container is picked up.
Container transport is generally done by either rail or road depending on the distance. While container transport isn't always cheaper than using a professional removalist, it is with some long distance moves.
Like hiring professional furniture removalists, you don't have to worry about making the drive yourself and containers can carry furniture as well as vehicles (be sure to request this). This is definitely a plus for anyone looking to bypass the long distance drive and just fly to their new home. Like removalists, you also don’t have to worry about insurance or fuel costs.
