What is the cheapest way to move interstate in Australia?
Backloading. Your goods share a truck already returning along the route, which prices well under a dedicated vehicle in exchange for flexible pickup and delivery dates. Interstate pricing runs $200 to $400 per cubic metre by distance: Sydney to Melbourne is $1,500 to $2,500 for a one-bedroom load, while Sydney to Perth runs $8,000 to $14,000 for a full household. Tip: cull hard before you get quotes; every cubic metre you do not move is money straight back in your pocket.
