Where we go
- New South Wales, including Sydney and regional NSW
- ACT: Canberra and surrounds
- South Australia, including Adelaide
Outside Victoria, we currently service NSW, the ACT and South Australia. We don’t service Western Australia.
The routes we run most
Three corridors cover nearly all of our interstate work. Each one behaves differently, and knowing which one you are on helps you plan the week around it.
Melbourne to Sydney and regional NSW
Our busiest interstate route. The Hume runs through Wangaratta, Albury-Wodonga and Goulburn, so pick-ups and drop-offs along the way are often straightforward to fit in. Sydney deliveries are the ones where access needs the most thought — narrow terrace streets, apartment loading docks that have to be booked, and clearways that rule out stopping at certain hours. Tell us the delivery suburb early and we will tell you what we need to know about it. See Melbourne to Sydney removals.
Melbourne to Canberra and the ACT
A shorter run than Sydney and usually the simplest of the three. Canberra addresses tend to have driveways and room to park, which keeps the unloading time down. Suburbs outside the ACT border such as Queanbeyan are part of the same trip for us. See Melbourne to Canberra removals.
Melbourne to Adelaide and South Australia
The Western Highway through Ballarat and Horsham, then across the border. Adelaide is a compact city to deliver into and access is rarely the problem. The thing worth planning is timing: it is a long day's drive, so delivery usually falls on the day after pick-up rather than the same day. See Melbourne to Adelaide removals.
Moving back to Victoria
We do the return leg as well — NSW, the ACT or South Australia back to Melbourne, regional Victoria included. If you are moving back to the northern suburbs, the same crew that delivers can usually help you settle in; see our pages for Reservoir, Preston and Coburg.
What an interstate move costs
Interstate work is quoted rather than charged by the half hour, because the drive is the bulk of it. The quote is worked out from three things:
- How much there is. Volume is the main driver — a one-bedroom flat and a four-bedroom house are different jobs entirely.
- The distance. Canberra, Sydney and Adelaide are each a different run, and regional addresses add to it.
- Access at both ends. Stairs, a lift that needs booking, a long carry from the truck, or a street the truck cannot get into all add time at one or both ends.
You get the figure before you commit, and it does not change afterwards unless what is being moved changes. If you want a sense of our local hourly rates for comparison, they are set out on our removalist prices page.
What we do, and what we do not
Worth being plain about this before you get three quotes and compare them:
- We do load, transport and unload your furniture and sealed boxes, supply furniture blankets, trolleys and straps, dismantle and reassemble basic furniture such as beds and tables, and carry full insurance on the job.
- We do not offer a packing service — your boxes need to be packed and sealed before we arrive. We sell boxes, tape and packing supplies in our shop.
- We do not offer storage, in Melbourne or at the other end. If you need a gap between moving out and moving in, book a storage unit yourself and we will move your things into it.
- We do not move to Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania or overseas. NSW, the ACT and South Australia are the states we cover.
- We do not disconnect or reconnect appliances, utilities or internet.
Access at both ends
Access is where interstate moves go wrong, because you are often not standing at the other address when you book. Before the day, it helps to have checked:
- Whether the building needs a lift or loading dock booked, and how far ahead
- Whether a truck of our size can get into the street and stop legally near the door
- How many steps there are, and whether there is a lift for the floors above ground
- Whether the new place has a parking permit scheme, and how to get a temporary permit
- Who will be there to let us in and sign off at the delivery end, if it is not you
If the answer to any of these is "not sure", tell us and we will work out what to allow for.
What to have ready on pick-up day
- Everything packed, sealed and labelled with the room it is going to
- Fridges and freezers defrosted and drained the night before
- Washing machines drained, with the transit bolts in if you still have them
- Valuables, medication, documents and anything you will need in the first day kept with you
- A clear path from the rooms to the front door
- Both addresses and a contact mobile for the delivery end written down
Planning an interstate move
- Get a quote early. Tell us both addresses, your preferred dates and a list of the main furniture.
- Declutter first. Moving less costs less. We can take unwanted items away with our rubbish removal service.
- Pack and label everything. We don’t offer a packing service, so have boxes packed and sealed before pick-up.
- Check access at both ends: parking, stairs, lifts and building booking rules.
- Keep valuables and documents with you during the trip.

Frequently asked questions
Which states do you move to?
NSW, the ACT and South Australia, from Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Do you move to Perth?
Not at the moment. Outside Victoria, we service NSW, the ACT and SA.
How is an interstate move priced?
Interstate moves are quoted based on the volume of furniture, the distance and access at both addresses. Call us for a quote.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the route and on when the truck is going. Adelaide and Canberra are a long day's drive each; Sydney is longer again, and regional addresses add to it. We give you a delivery window when we quote, and we keep you posted on the day.
Do you do backloads?
Ask us when you enquire. If we already have a truck running your way it can make a difference to the price, but it depends entirely on what is scheduled that week — we will not promise one that does not exist.
Will the same crew load and unload?
That is how we prefer to run it, and on most jobs it is what happens. We will tell you at quote time if your job is going to work differently.
Do you move cars, pianos or pool tables interstate?
We do not transport cars. Pianos and pool tables are assessed case by case — tell us what you have and we will say honestly whether it is a job we can take on. See piano removals.
Can you store my things between pick-up and delivery?
No, we do not offer storage. If your dates do not line up, book a storage unit at one end and we will move your things into or out of it.
Are my things insured on the way?
Yes, we are fully insured. Our insurance page explains what that covers and what you should tell us about before the job.
Do you move office and business contents interstate?
Yes. Office and commercial relocations work the same way — see commercial relocations and tell us what equipment is involved.
What if I need to change the date?
Let us know as early as you can. Interstate runs are planned around other jobs, so the more notice we have the better the chance we can move you to the date you want.
