We offer removals to Brisbane by sea freight and air freight. Learn more about our different international removal methods.
Removals to Brisbane by sea freight is the most cost-effective option, making it a popular choice. Goods transported by sea freight can be sent in two ways:
Full Container Load
Full container load shipping means you have exclusive use of the shipping container. This is typically used when you are shipping a lot of household items, as you can usually fit the contents of a three-bedroom home in a 20ft container.
Shared Container
Shared container shipping means your belongings will be shipped in a container along with the belongings of other customers. With shared container shipping, you only pay for the space you take up.
This method of shipping is great for transporting fewer items. If you don’t have enough items to fill an entire container on your own, you might choose this option for your removal to Brisbane.
Despite being more expensive than sea freight shipping, air freight is a great option for international removals as it is quick and efficient. If you want to transport smaller shipments, have your belongings as soon as possible, or ship essential items that you need upon arrival in Brisbane, air freight might be the option for you.
The total cost of your door-to-door removal to Brisbane is not just based on the size of the container you ship. It depends on many factors and is unique to your specific needs. That’s why the only way to get an accurate cost for your move is to get a personal quote.
