Tips for Sydney to Brisbane

01Mid-week pickups beat weekend ones — Friday/Saturday pickups face heavy holiday traffic on the Pacific Highway.
02Cyclone season (December-April) can cause weather delays in northern NSW. Build in a flex window if moving in those months.
03If you're heading further than Brisbane (Sunshine Coast / Gold Coast), tell us at quote — last-mile delivery is cheaper than re-booking a separate truck.
04Brisbane traffic peaks 7-9am and 4-6pm. Schedule arrivals outside those windows.

Pacific Highway flooding — what if it happens during my move?

When the Pacific Highway is closed (rare, but it happens 2-3x a year), we hold loads at the SYD depot and deliver as soon as it reopens. No surcharge. We notify customers proactively.

Can I move to Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast directly?

Yes — last-mile delivery to anywhere within 150km of Brisbane is a flat $120 add-on. Beyond that, it's quoted manually. Maroochydore, Noosa, Surfers, Burleigh all routine.

Is fruit/produce restricted on this lane?

Yes — NSW has biosecurity rules for fresh fruit and vegetables entering QLD. Don't pack pantry produce; finish it before pickup or gift it to a neighbour.
