Removal costs: budgeting for your next move

Removal costs can be worked out with a simple equation: how much you’re moving plus how far plus how easy you want the move to be. However, people don’t always have the same budget for moving and our needs change at different stages of life. We also have to consider the size of our country. Moving to another city can be a major exercise. Moving is stressful enough without unexpected costs, so we’ve put together this quick guide about removal costs to help you plan for your next move. If you’re planning to move soon, contact us for a fixed price quote.

Moving suburbs

As people settle down, they tend to gather more possessions and furniture. If you’re still on a budget, move as many small items yourself and let us help with the awkward stuff. If you have kids, it pays to consider moving in one go. If you have the budget for packing, this will mean you can focus on moving your family and getting them settled rather than carrying boxes. There are lots of options for across town removals.

Moving to another state (interstate removals)

We don’t need to tell you that Australia is a big country. Moving from one state to another will feel similar to moving overseas. It would pay to consider packing and storage as part of your moving budget. Any long distance move means your belongings are in transit for an extended period. You’ll want them in one piece when you reach your destination.

Moving overseas

Moving overseas is one of the most expensive moves you’ll make as there is much more to consider than packing boxes and moving furniture. We highly recommend using a packing service to ensure your possessions are protected and packed in the most economical way for shipping. We offer additional services such as foreign exchange to help make the move easier.

Relocating for work

If you’re moving interstate or overseas for work, consider making it as easy as possible with relocations services, where everything is done for you right down to foreign exchange. Many employers will contribute to removal costs to ensure you get to your destination ready to start work.
