Compare Queensland Interstate Removalists

Did you know there are several options when it comes to moving? Many people assume you can either hire a UHaul or use a removalist but there are a few more affordable options too. 

Let’s start with comparing Queensland removalists or Furniture Movers. 

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! 

Compare interstate removalists quotes before deciding on a mover. It’s also important to check reviews and accreditation to ensure the interstate movers are reliable. 

Find Queensland Backload Services 

Another option you have when it comes to moving to Queensland is a Queensland 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. 

You can read more about backloads here. 

Queensland 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. 

Check out container transport quotes and costs here. 

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.

You can also pack at your own pace and unload in your own time. Many people are unaware of this option. At Best Rated Transport you can compare Queensland container transport and Queensland removalists for free. Compare the price options and see which is best for you.

With every quote you will also receive our free moving guide - the Good Transport Guide. 

The Good Transport Guide is designed to be read, referenced and used when needed. We tried to remove the complications that come with moving and instead focused on what matters - saving time, money and your sanity!
