wonderer Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi everyone, we have been in Melbourne just over two weeks. What a transition, "back home" feels long ago and far away, dont know if others also found that. Literally another life. We managed to get most of the beginning admin done and managed to buy a car - what a relieve.. It's been very hard to get our heads around our new environment as, just after landing hubby started positive talks with a company in Canberra, so we feel very much in limbo. Luckily our container is also still somewhere in limbo. (Not set, but looks positive ito the job) So here is my question.... We got the 40kg pp and have 10 bags of 160kg to get from the airbnb in Melbourne to Canberra and only have an ave size car. Any suggestions?

Otto Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Rent a small truck. Also trailer rentals such as U-haul is available everywhere. Otherwise there are a myriad of companies that deliver small quantities of stuff, I suggest start looking for a local Canberra company, normally easier to get a company from your destination. Last option, post it here and perhaps there are someone going to Canberra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderer Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks @Otto, we're driving up with our car without a tow-bar, so renting a van or a trailer won't work, unfortunately. I tried to google for companies you describe but obviously not successfully. What would they call themselves (description) or could you maybe name one or two? Best I could find so far was the post office @ $50 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardH Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Try these guys for a quote: https://www.e-go.com.au The cases go on a truck, but if you do depot to depot it might work out ok. I have used them a fair bit for moving boxes and they worked out fine, they just took a bit longer than the post office. Their quoted transit times are spot on and their tracking is not super up to date but does work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the cheapest we could find and they were very friendly and helpful. We paid $175 for a car load. (about 6 pieces) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
