Tips for an Effective Interstate Move

Before making a decision, consider the removalists experience, their level of customer service, the advice they provide in packing up your possessions as well as the cost of furniture removals.

The cost of furniture removals will depend on several factors. Firstly, how much space in the truck or container your belongings will occupy will be a determining factor on price. If you are packing up a 1 bedroom apartment, it is safe to assume that there will be less space required than packing up a 4 bedroom house. For this reason, many individuals and families will clear out non essential belongings, either selling or getting rid of clutter and other household goods. The other factor that is considered is the the distance that you are travelling. If you are moving from Brisbane to Sydney it will be a lot cheaper than relocating from Brisbane to Adelaide.

Ensure that you are well equipped with boxes, newspapers, bubble wrap and duct tape, which are all essential components in packing for your interstate move. Ensure that your fragile and valuable goods are well packed and secured.
