What options do I have when moving to or from Geelong?

Can you do it completely on your own, or will you need a professional to assist you?

Your most popular option is to hire an interstate removals company. Furniture movers will do the heavy lifting for you and transport your items to your new location. They will also unload your furniture and other items, so you don’t have to worry about that.

If you’re looking for the easiest and least stressful way to move, this is by far your best option. While you will need to pack your items into boxes, your interstate removalists can handle the furniture and larger items. That means no broken backs or sore arms!

Find Melbourne Backload Services

Another option when moving to Geelong is a backload service. Backloading allows you to book available truck space on a large interstate removalist truck that already has a primary load or is returning from somewhere. You may not need to book the entire truck for your move, so with backloading, you only pay for the space you need.

This is a really smart option, especially if you can be flexible with your moving date.

Geelong Container Transport / Self-Pack Moves

Container transport is another practical option for interstate moving. There are two main ways to do this. If you have your own container, you can pay to have a container transport company move it from your home to your new location. This is called “transit only.” You’ll need to pack the container yourself and unload it at your new home, but you won’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 process, but you’ll be given a container for 28 days. You then load it up and arrange for pickup and delivery. You can unload it at your new location before the container is picked up.
