Moving interstate to or from Perth
Perth's distance from eastern cities makes volume, service type and timing especially important. Moves entering Western Australia also need current personal-goods and quarantine requirements checked before collection.
Give the quote enough detail
Provide the inventory or cubic volume, both addresses, preferred dates, stairs, lifts, parking and any outdoor equipment. Clean items carrying soil or plant material and ask how the required personal-goods declaration will be handled.
| Move size | Estimated volume | Loading | Unloading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small move | 5–10 m³ | About 2.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
| 1–2 bedroom move | 15–25 m³ | About 2.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
| 3 bedroom move | 30–40 m³ | About 4 hours | About 4 hours |
| 4 bedroom move | 45–60 m³ | About 6 hours | About 5.5 hours |
