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

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 will transport your items 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 will also need to be in charge of packing your items into boxes, but, as for the furniture and larger items, your interstate removalists can handle this for you. Which means no broken backs or sore arms!

Backloads Newcastle

Another option you have when it comes to moving to Newcastle 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.

Newcastle Container Transport / Self Pack Moves

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.
