Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can pack your own boxes. Some clients elect to pack clothes, books and linen and leave the more fragile items to us. If you choose to do this, we will supply you with appropriate professional quality boxes and packing materials.
We can also provide you with instructions for packing your boxes to professional standards, however we can not be responsible for any breakages in boxes packed by you.
The amount of notice required depends on the nature of your move.
We recommend that you book your interstate move four to six weeks prior to departure. Booking ahead will allow us to secure and confirm your booking for your preferred dates and give you sufficient time to prepare for your move.
Of course, interstate moves can be still be arranged successfully at shorter notice, depending on your individual circumstances.
For local moves, we usually require 3-4 days notice. For moves in December and January it is a good idea to provide additional notice to book your preferred date.
Whilst it is unusual for items to be damaged or lost in transit, for your peace of mind we recommend that you take out transit insurance. To help you get the right cover, we have put together a cost-effective policy specifically designed to protect your belongings during transit and/or storage.

Most interstate removals are effected using specially constructed hi-cube furniture containers which are loaded and sealed at residence. These containers travel between Australian cities on the Pacific National freight rail network. The use of inter-modal containers is a feature of the contemporary Australian moving industry, offering customers the benefits of minimising excessive handling and allowing for short-term storage at interstate destinations.
Local moves are carried out by specialist moving trucks. Depending on the belongings in your inventory we may utilise specialist equipment for moving heavier items.
Most local moves are conducted on the same day, unless you require your belongings to be stored between your two homes.
