How does moving with a shipping container in Australia work?

Why self-pack removals cost less than traditional removalists
Moving interstate costs add up quickly, but a self-pack shipping container is almost always cheaper than a traditional removalist because you’re not paying for a packing crew or a return trip. For longer moves we can put your shipping container on rail, which is one of the cheapest forms of freight in Australia and a big reason the savings stack up the further interstate you go.
Why choose Container Traders for your next move
Container Traders is Australia’s highest-rated shipping container company, and since 2016 we’ve built an efficient delivery network that reaches every state and territory. That same network is what lets you move interstate for a fraction of what a traditional removalist would charge.
What size shipping container do you need to move house?
A 20ft Shipping Container handles most home moves and is the most popular choice, while a 40ft Shipping Container suits larger homes with heavier storage needs. Upgrade to a High Cube Container for ~1ft of extra internal headroom, which makes loading bulky items like mattresses and tall wardrobes much easier.
