Love Shoes Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just had a rough quote of $8.500 plus $750 for insurance ... Applying for a job and want to know what costs are involved just incase the job is offered. The trip is 1.500 km pack 50 cubic metres, we have over quoted the meter age ... Brought 30 plus bought another 2 sofas .. Some bookcases .. Bikes .. American fridge freezer .. Top loader washer & a tumble dryer .. Bbq's .. Other bits Has anyone done a similar move if so what was the cost & can anyone recommend a reliable company for a reasonable price. Thanks guys x LS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My goodness $8500 is steep if that's coming to where I think it is and we moved a 4 bed house, well not the house but its contents. We paid $5000 Melbourne to Cairns and $2000 to get the car up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Insurance Suncorp do it, I am sure that was $300 and covered everything I will see if I can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Shoes Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 You could even look at back loading Whats back loading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Whats back loading? If there is a wagon say doing a delivery from Cairns to Melbourne they may have room on the truck going down to Melbourne or an empty truck coming back. I have emailed a contact I have to see if they can help but 50 cubic m may be too much. Also you could look at doing one way van rentals, we couldn't do this from Vic but it is an option if staying in Qld. Who did you get the quote off that cost $8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
