Cost of Removalist Ipswich to Tweed Heads
Finding a moving company that offers the quality of moving service you need, at the time you need it, at the price that fits in your budget can be challenging. We’ve outlined a few key factors that will impact the price of your move in order to help you understand how you can potentially reduce your moving costs.
- Move Size – any removalist will estimate this in cubic metres (cbm). Your fridge is about one cubic metre, a queen sized bed is around 1.7cbm, and a small one bedroom apartment holds about 10cbm of items. A larger family home is typically going to be over 35cbm.
- Distance between houses – in this case, the distance from Ipswich to Tweed Heads is about 120 km. Your belongings (furniture and personal effects) will be transported via truck from Ipswich to Tweed Heads. As a general rule, the longer the distance, the higher the cost.
- Seasonality – Australians prefer moving during the summer. The majority of home sales, job moves, and business moves occur between November and February. During the summer months, the spike in demand causes moving companies to strain their resources, resulting in a price spike of at least 10%.
- Access – Our removalists can lift or trolley your things as far as needed, but of course, that takes longer, so our preference is always to be able to park as close to your home as possible.
- Heavy and Bulky Items – Moving bulky or heavy items requires assistance sometimes. Stone garden ornaments, pool tables, pianos, all might require an extra man to help with the lift. Let us know in advance if you will be moving heavy and bulky items during your move and we’ll staff your move appropriately and make sure our removalists have the proper equipment to safely transport your belongings.
- Early Booking – Make sure to book at least two months in advance if you are moving during the summer. During the winter months, a month is usually sufficient for scheduling. It is more likely that any quality removalist will give you a better price if you book as early as possible.
To give you an idea of cost, a 20-25 cbm move from Ipswich to Tweed Heads is likely to be around $70-$80 per cbm. For larger moves, the price per cbm drops quickly as the volume increases.

Ipswich
If you’re currently in Ipswich, you must have heard that Ipswich was previously called “Limestone Hills” by convicts who arrived in the district as they were employed quarrying limestone. The name remained until 1842 when the plan for the town was drawn with the title “Proposed Plan of the Town of Limestone”. Governor Gipps overruled this and named the town Ipswich.
Art enthusiasts and history buffs will surely enjoy visiting cultural and historical landmarks in the city including Ginn Cottage, Ipswich Art Gallery, Nerima Japanese Gardens, the Lyric Theatre, Workshop Rail Museum, and many more.
