Moving to Sydney?
There's so much to love about Sydney and we're not just talking about the iconic structures. Get the inside scoop on top Sydney schools, suburbs, house prices and more with our Moving to Sydney guide.
Did you know there are various options for moving? Many people think their only choices are hiring a U-Haul or a removalist, but there are more budget-friendly alternatives available.
Comparing Sydney Removalists and Furniture Movers
Furniture movers can take care of the heavy lifting and transport your belongings to your new place. They also unload your items, so you don’t have to worry about any of that.
If you're looking for the easiest and least stressful way to move, this is definitely your best option. While you’ll still need to pack your items into boxes, the movers can handle the furniture and larger items for you—saving you from back pain and sore arms!
Before choosing a mover, compare quotes from interstate removalists. Be sure to check reviews and accreditations to ensure you're working with reliable movers.
Explore Sydney Backload Services
Another option for moving to Sydney is using a backload service. This involves booking available space on an interstate removal truck that is already making a primary delivery or returning from a job. With backloading, you only pay for the space you need, making it a cost-effective choice.
You can learn more about backloading options here.
Sydney Container Transport / Self-Pack Moves
Container transport is another smart option for interstate moves. There are two main approaches:
Transit Only: If you have your own container, you can pay a transport company to move it from your home to your new location. You’ll need to pack and unpack it yourself, but you won’t have to worry about loading it onto a truck.
Hiring a Container: If you don’t own a container, you can rent one for 28 days. After loading it up, you can arrange for pick-up and delivery, allowing you to unload at your convenience.
