Cheap Interstate Removalists

If you are looking for cheap interstate removalists it seems fair to assume that you are on a tight budget – and this is what we can help you with. As you know there are many risks in hiring a cheap interstate removal company and that sometimes cheap does not work out that way due to loss or damage of your goods in transit should your cheap removalist not be reputable and professional.

Quick and Easy Removals are both a reputable plus an affordable removalist. With us you can have the best of both worlds – your goods arriving safely and promptly, peace of mind, plus being able to stick to your budget. Here is how you can do a cheap interstate move without exceeding a tight budget with Quick and Easy:

Cheap Interstate Movers- by Using our Backloading Service and save 30% of your Removal Cost

If you are moving instate from Brisbane to Sydney or Melbourne to Sydney you can use our backloading service which will save you 30% of the cost of your furniture removal! Thus you will be using a professional and reliable furniture removal business but saving you 30% of the cost of doing so. To use our backloading service you either:

  • Need to book your removal date 30 days in advance.
  • Call us now 1300 883 117 and we can provide you with which dates this service is already available and hopefully one of these dates will suit you.
  • Call us now even if you have a set date that is not 30 days in advance, you never know you might be lucky and we might have a backloading service available on that date…
Flexible – Only Pay for the Services you Want

Whilst at Quick and Easy we provide a full range of removals services – we also provide you with the flexibility to choose only those services that you wish to pay for. This way you can save money by:

  • Packing and unpacking yourself – our vans are fully equipped with free shrink wrap and blankets to keep your lounge suite, mattresses etc clean and protected.
  • Cleaning your vacated home yourself
Right Size Truck

At Quick and Easy we have a fleet of reliable removal vehicles of all sizes. Therefore you can save money by hiring only the size truck that you need. If you only have a small household of goods to move, you will save yourself money by paying the lesser amount for a small truck, not something that is offered by all removalist companies.

Experienced and Quick Removalists

We are experienced and thus fast removalists. This keeps our costs down (and saves you money) as we can do the job faster than those less experience, and as you know time is money. Our quote will reflect the fact that we are able to load and unload in a timely and professional manner.

Overnight Interstate Removalists

An interstate move from Sydney to Melbourne or Sydney to Brisbane or visa versa can be done overnight with Quick and Easy. This will save you money as you won’t need to pay for several nights accommodation while your goods are in transit. You can also save money by staying with family and friends overnight or longer should you need more time to unpack.

We provide a Free Box Hire Service

At Quick and Easy we provide customers with sturdy packing boxes for free. All you need to do is pay a small deposit which will be refunded once you return the boxes and a small delivery fee if you want us to deliver the boxes to your home for you.

Cheap Interstate Removalists- Select the Right Furniture Removalist

Please, we know you don’t want to know about this, but selecting cheap interstate removalists based on price only can lead to regret later due to the potential of breakages, loss of items and dents and damage to your walls which can occur with inexperienced removalists. As we have outlined above, you can still stick to a budget and hire a reputable and experienced company like ours, giving you peace of mind and surety of a job well done.

Finally, when deciding on a removalist for your interstate move say from Sydney to Melbourne, please take the following into account – in conjunction with the price of the removal service:

  • Is the removalist a reputable company? You can search the net for customer reviews…
  • Is their removalist team experienced, qualified and trained? You can probably find out some of this information from their website if they have one, or by asking the right questions on the phone.
  • How long do they say that the removal job will take? Remember your time is money too and you may have to fork out for accommodation if the removal is not done promptly.
  • Do they have transit insurance; all reputable removal companies in Australia will have this insurance.
  • Are there any hidden costs or charges? You need to read the fine print and enquire about the full cost of the relocation.

Please feel free to obtain a number of quotes for your interstate relocation and also use our Moving House Calculator to obtain an estimate of your interstate move with Quick and Easy – assuming you don’t want to make use of our backloading service. If you can find a cheaper quote with a cheap interstate removalists business, call us to discuss this with our friendly customer support staff 1300 883 117, you never know…

How to move Interstate

An interstate move from say Sydney to Brisbane or Sydney to Melbourne requires a lot of planning – and unfortunately a fair bit of expense.

By far the biggest cost of an interstate move is the cost of the furniture removalist.

Save yourself both time and money by choosing to use our services at Quick and Easy. We are not only a reputable and affordable furniture removal company but we like to live up to our name – quick and easy, so if you have any questions regarding how to move interstate you are more than welcome to call our friendly and knowledgeable customer service representatives (1300 883 117) and they will provide you with whatever information you require.

We also provide a substantial amount of information on our website to help you with your interstate move. We hope some, if not all the following information will be of use to you:-

Moving House Packing Tips

Best Way to Move Interstate

Here are some suggestions on the best way to move interstate (assuming that you don’t mind spending that little bit extra to reduce the pressure and workload that come with an interstate move):-

Engage a thoroughly reputable furniture removalist company

Ensure your precious household good arrive on time and safely. Equally important this will also give you peace of mind and reduce the stress that an interstate move creates.

Enlist help from family and friends;

You may need somewhere to stay or someone to mind the children and/or your pets for you. Family and friends are also likely to be very helpful when you are deciding what to keep and what to discard. Expect comments such as “You still have this old thing?” They will likely shame you into disposing of much more than you would do on your own. At the end of the day (unless you really regret your decision to throw something out), you will have less that needs packing, unpacking and transporting.

Use the expert to both pack and unpack your goods for you

Yes it will cost more, but you can then rest assured that the right packaging materials are used and that your possessions have the best protection for the long haul.

Cleaning

Have someone else be responsible for cleaning your vacated home. Make sure you choose a reliable and thorough cleaning firm – or in the case of Quick and Easy Removals, we have our own expert cleaning team on staff.

Cars

Use a motor vehicle transportation company to move your family car(s) for you. The last thing you are going to want to do is hit the road for a long journey after all the work you have done in planning and coordinating your relocation.

Accomodation

Book your family into a really good hotel for the time that your goods are in transit. This treat will allow you to recuperate and be ready for the next challenge of setting into your new instate home.

Cheap Interstate Removalists

If these suggestions make you cringe at the likely cost – there is a way that you can save money and still follow our stress reduction suggestions. Instead of hiring cheap interstate removalists, you could save money by using our backloading service – you would still be using a reputable and trustworthy removalist but by using this service you can save 30% of your removal cost – allowing you to spend it on other ways to make your interstate relocation as stress free as possible. In order to be able to use this service, you will either need to give us 30 days notice of the date you wish to move or call us and we can provide you with dates when this service is available and you can choose which of these suits you best. Unfortunately we only offer this service to those moving interstate from Brisbane to Sydney or Melbourne to Sydney.

Moving House Checklist

Packing Checklist Australia

Your PACKING CHECKLIST Provided by Quick & Easy Removals

Packing for a home move can be long, tedious and frustrating. In order to do the job properly and with the greatest of ease we suggest that you follow the packing checklist that we have provided to help our customers’ relocation as quick and easy as possible.

Packing is a very important part of the removals process. It needs to be done correctly so as to minimise breakages and damage. If you follow this packing checklist you should be ready for when the removal truck arrives – and you won’t be in the situation whereby in your new home you have an enormous pile of boxes all in one room with no idea of where to unpack all your items.

Remember, when it comes to packing and unpacking Quick & Easy Removals has teams of expert, efficient packers who can, if you wish pack one or two rooms for you, or the whole house, whatever meets your needs and budget.

Remember too, if you decide to self-pack Quick & Easy Removals will provide you with plenty of different sized sturdy boxes for you free – we do however require a small deposit and a small delivery fee if you want us to deliver the boxes to you. You can reclaim your deposit when you return the boxes within 30 days of setting into your new home.

Packing Checklist
  • Contact Quick & Easy Removals and request the delivery of free boxes to your home. Our customer relations operators will be able to advise you on the number and variety of boxes that you will need. We suggest you err on the side of caution and order more boxes than you think you will need. Don’t forget the boxes are provided to you for free so it makes sense to over order rather than under order.
  • Collect together all the other packing materials and tools that you will need. These include:-
    • Bubble wrap;
    • Butcher paper;
    • Tape;
    • Labels;
    • A box cutter;
    • Screwdrivers;
    • Allan keys;
    • Wide permanent marker; and
    • Large rubbish bags.
  • Hire a skip and fill it to the top with all those household items that you no longer use and don’t want or need. It will save time, effort and money if you don’t move all unwanted goods with you.
  • Start with packing those items that you won’t need between now and when you move such as out of season clothes, books, ornaments and kitchen appliances that you only rarely drag out of the cupboard.
  • Make sure you clearly label all the boxes. Write on the box the room the goods belong to and a brief description of what is contained in the box.
  • For delicate and breakable boxed items ensure that you write “This Way Up” on the box and include an arrow pointing in the right direction.
  • If you want to be really organised you could label and number each packed box – and then record on a piece of paper or spreadsheet on your computer what is packed in that box. This way if you have packed something that you suddenly find you need it will be easy to locate.
  • Dismantle furniture and make sure you store the nuts, bolts and screws etc somewhere where you won’t forget them. Each of the different sets of nuts, bolts and screws need to be stored in separate closed bags which are clearly labelled.
  • Obviously pack your most used items last.
  • Pack separately the items that you will need during the move and when first settling in. This includes a change of clothes and pyjamas for each member of the household. You will also need an essentials snack box to sustain your family on moving day. Finally don’t forget to pack essential toiletries and keep your keys and mobile phone somewhere safe and handy.
  • The night before you move turn off your refrigerator and freezer so that you can clean them first thing in the morning before your move.
  • Contact Quick & Easy Removals with any queries or worries you may have concerning your move and packing of your household.

We hope you find this packing checklist helpful. At Quick & Easy Removals our aim is to ensure that every home relocation is both quick & easy.
Whilst we have given a lot of thought in developing this packing checklist, there may be specific items or needs that are not included; we suggest in this situation that you add these additional items to the packing checklist provided.

  • Search for (if needed) good child care facilities. The sooner you have your child’s name down on your favoured child care providers’ lists, the better your changes of obtaining a slot.

  • Research and find a reputable interstate furniture removalist company. Need we say you will find that Quick & Easy Removals are the interstate relocation company of choice!

It’s easy to apply on-line however you need to take into account that potential employers may be wary about how stable and permanent your decision is to relocate. Some potential employers may interview you over the phone, others may require that you undertake the expense of travelling to their offices for an interview.
  • You may need to find temporary accommodation if you cannot rent or purchase a new home before moving. Options include self-serviced apartment or short-term leases, but be prepared, as these types of accommodation can be very pricey. Camping out with family and friends is always an option.
  • If you have to move into temporary accommodation you are going to need to find a kennel to house your pets. Research the facilities offered that will be closest to you. If you can’t inspect the facility yourself, see if you can get a friend or family member to do this for you.
  • You may need to find a storage facility to temporarily store your furniture until you find a permanent home. A lot of storage companies have very good webpages which can help you in your decision making.
  • If you are currently renting your furniture you will need to enquire as to whether you can move the furniture with you and continue to rent it at your new abode. If not, you will need to make arrangements to have the furniture taken away.

Removalists Australia – Home & Office

Quick & Easy Removals open in 2007 and is now considered to be a reputable Australian moving company. We are based in Sydney and cover home and office moves to all locations in Sydney. We also move people to interstate locations along the eastern seaboard. We offer cheap quick and easy removals getting you there on time.
Let’s look at the typical Removal Process

It starts with packing — lots of packing. In fact, packing can take days as you fast discover how many items, both big and small, you’ve kept in your house. With our busy lives, we often leave packing until the last minute, only

to find we haven’t allowed ourselves enough time to do the job properly. We then haphazardly pack boxes without labels, making them difficult to find when it comes time to unpack. Or we may wrap delicate items poorly, causing them to break during transit. It can save a lot of time and energy to have your goods packed for you.

Once packing is out of the way

It’s time to move the boxes and furniture to the moving vehicle. You may have hired a truck of your own, you may have a friend who has lent theirs, or you may have a trailer you can connect to the back of your vehicle. Whatever the case, lugging those huge and awkward furniture items through doorways, down stairs and onto the truck can be an ordeal, particularly on hot days. Dangers include dropping valuable furniture and electronics, denting the walls of your old home (which may have a bond inspection just around the corner) and causing yourself physical strain from heavy lifting. That is why so many people choose professional movers to do it for them.

Next is the Drive

It’s time to drive from your old home or business to your new home or business. If packing is not done correctly, boxes and furniture can move around during transit, causing valuable items to break. When you do arrive at your new place, you’ll then have to go through the process of unloading the truck and carrying everything back upstairs and through doorways, before you start the long process of unpacking.

If this sounds like to much work for you when you have so many other things to do, Call Quick & Easy Removals today for your home or office removal on 1300 883 117 or fill out our easy online form for an obligation-free quote!
