For households

Moving interstate? Pay for the space, not the whole truck.

We share the space on trucks already heading your way: Pea quotes, books and is responsible for your move, and a vetted partner carrier already running the route does the driving.

Home-move questions.

Anything else, call (03) 8612 7235 or start a quote and add a note — we'll come back to you.

How do you protect fragile items?

Furniture goes on the truck wrapped in heavy moving blankets and secured with tie-down straps. Boxes are loaded on top, fragile-marked boxes go on top of stacks. The driver does a walk-through with you at pickup so you can flag anything that needs extra care.

Do I need to pack everything in boxes?

Yes for clothes, books, kitchenware, decor — anything that's not a whole piece of furniture. Boxes stack and protect; loose items don't. You can buy boxes from us at quote time, or grab free ones from any supermarket.

Can I include my car or motorbike?

Cars, no — we don't run vehicle transport. Motorbikes and mopeds, yes, depending on the lane and load on the day. Mention it in the quote notes and we'll confirm before booking.

What can't you move?

Anything flammable, explosive, or perishable: petrol, gas bottles, paint, fireworks, plants with soil, food in the fridge. Pets and people travel separately for safety. Live ammo and firearms have to go through a licensed firearms transporter.

What if my new place isn't ready when the truck arrives?

Backloading is shared, so storage on the truck isn't possible. We can deliver to a self-storage unit on your behalf for a small handling fee — book it ahead and tell us at quote time.

Stairs, lifts, narrow driveways — extra?

Stairs are $80 at each end for the first flight, then $60 for every flight after that — a fourth-floor walk-up genuinely costs more than a first-floor one. Long carries (more than 20m from truck to door) and lift bookings can add extra time — flag them in the quote so we don't surprise you.

Same-day or next-day moves?

Sometimes — depends on the lane. SYD↔MEL and SYD↔BNE often have next-day pickup; smaller lanes book 3–5 days ahead. Same-day moves carry a short-notice fee — a flat $200 interstate, or 10% on a local move — and are subject to truck availability.

Before you book: the interstate moving checklist, how backloading compares with every other option in the cheapest way to move interstate, and if it is only boxes, the cheapest way to send boxes interstate.
