Another option you have when it comes to moving to Melbourne is a backload service. Backloading is when you 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 and thus, with backloading, you only pay for the space that you need.
This is a really smart option, especially if you can be flexible with your moving date.

Container transport is another smart option when it comes to interstate moving. There are two main ways you can do this. If you have your own container, you can pay to have a container transport company move your container from your house to your new location. This is called “transit only”. 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.

"What a fantastic company to deal with, right from my initial call to Katie who organised everything and was such a lovely person, to Ross the delivery driver who was so friendly and helpful he kept us informed every step of the way. Very pleased and furniture arrived earlier than anticipated. The cost was very good as well. I got two other quotes that were twice the price that it ended up being. Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to move."

"You just don't get service like this anymore. Super friendly, super professional, nothing was too much trouble. Katie went above and beyond to ensure the transport of our freight from Rockhampton Qld to Perth WA was nothing but a pleasant experience. We could not recommend Katie, Chris and crew highly enough. A big thank you to all involved."
