There are many things to consider when you are moving interstate. Not only do you have to worry about the cost of the move, but also the quality of the service. With so many companies out there vying for your business, it can be hard to know who to trust.
That's why we've put together a list of some of the best interstate removalists in Australia, to help you make an informed decision.
Whether you're moving from Melbourne to Sydney, Brisbane to Perth, or anywhere else in the country, these are the companies that have been around for a long time, have for the most part good reviews and should get your possessions to your destination safely. We say should, as this is an external review (we are also a removalists company, so upfront there is bias). The key thing is you still need to always vet the company you are hiring by checking online reviews, the way they speak to you and the overall vibe / feel you get from all interactions via email and phone. At the end of the day, the items you are moving are valuable to you; no one will ever care about them as much as you do.
