Shipping transport between Sydney and Melbourne

Are you looking at transporting goods from Sydney to Melbourne? Get in touch with us today to get a courier quote and book your transport! Whether it be cleaning and packaging supplies, office equipment, engine or machinery parts, bulk stationary, retail or wholesale building supplies, Freight Quote Australia’s convenient regional transport delivery services can help. If you’re shipping business to business, it’s important that you advise us of the opening hours both at the pickup point and delivery point, otherwise the courier driver will assume that the business will be open during common business trading hours in Melbourne.

If you’re moving home or office between Melbourne and Sydney, then your options include:

  1. Pack your goods on skids or pallets 
  2. Hire a removalist company to hand load and transport your boxes and furniture

Of course, due to their size, not all goods can be shipped on pallets. But if they can, then the pallet freight option will almost certainly be the cheapest. The two key questions to ask yourself before deciding on the best regional freight company servicing Melbourne to Sydney are:

  1. Will all my items fit on pallets, without exceeding standard pallet dimensions (1.2m x 1.2m x 2.4m, including the pallet)?
  2. Can all the goods be securely fixed to the pallet(s) to ensure they don’t become dislodged or damaged during transport?

If the answer to these two questions is yes, then chances are we can help you save on your moving costs, whether you are shipping from Melbourne to Sydney or Sydney to Melbourne.

Courier truck between Sydney and Melbourne

For Sydney to Melbourne freight and vice versa, there are two main courier options – Delivery to Depot, and Delivery to Door. Usually the most convenient option is to get your items shipped to your door. If you request Freight Quote Australia’s Melbourne to Sydney service, your consignment will typically be picked up by the following business day, and delivered within 2 – 3 business days. Interstate freight deliveries will typically be delivered to a central storage facility or ‘depot’ before being loaded onto a smaller courier truck or other transport vehicle and delivered direct to the final address in Melbourne or Sydney. The size of the vehicle used will depend on how many pallets are being delivered to the final destinations. If the final address is a narrow lane way which is only accessible by couriers on car sized vehicles, you should include a comment about this when you submit your online courier quote request.

Hume Hwy - Dual Carriageway all the way

The Hume Highway which links Melbourne to Sydney may be considered to be Australia’s most significant highway, and is the default route for road freight vehicles transporting items between Australia’s two largest cities. In August 2013 the dual carriageway was officially completed, making the Hume route faster, safer and more convenient for private travellers and national courier service or transport companies alike.
