acmac Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 We immigrated from South Africa to Australia almost 5 years ago and been living in Melbourne since. I have family living in Perth and after being a little alone here, decided we should move there instead. Does anyone know what removalists cost to move our belongings to Perth? We got one quote for $10,000 and felt that was a little excessive, as I've seen elsewhere people mentioning a cost of ~$5,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

GKatherine Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi @acmac, I had to help a colleague with relocation from Perth to Melbourne about 10 months ago. I think they had 3 quotes, ranging between $8k and $12k. It is the only frame of reference that I have, and I agree, it is rather excessive! Hope you get it done cheaper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbop Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 We moved from regional WA to Melbourne in 2017 and got a self pack container (20HC shipping container for around $7000 +GST. Going to Perth should be a lot cheaper. They allow 12 days before and another 12 days after. They arrange door to door pick up and delivery. Had a very good experience with them.

A lot of dodgy movers out there - If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargotOrch Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Looking to move from rural Qld to Bunbury, WA. Also investigating removal companies - who did you end up going with @acmac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmac Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi @MargotOrch. I went with http://www.budgetselfpackcontainers.com.au/... and dealt with Sheree, who was incredibly helpful. Everything arrived on time and amazingly, just a lamp broke, but that was due to bad packing on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
