Perth to Melbourne Moving Containers

Moving from Perth to Melbourne is a huge undertaking. It is over 3000kms between the two cities so getting your home contents moved from one city to another could be expected to be a costly and complicated process.

Luckily interstate relocation is made much easier, both logistically, and on your wallet with self pack container removals.

The Perth to Melbourne interstate removals route is perfectly suited to container removals. Per kilometre, moving containers by rail is much more economical than by road.

How Perth to Melbourne Container Removals Work

Moving from Perth to Melbourne using a self pack moving container is simple and hassle free. Four to five days after the container departs Perth it will be delivered to your new address in Melbourne ready for you to unload and settle in.

  • We deliver an empty 20ft removalist spec shipping container to your Perth address – in most cases including furniture blankets, trolley, rope and boxes.
  • You load the container – you can take a few days or a few weeks. The great thing about packing yourself is that you set the pace. You can have the container for up to 40 days in total to split between your two addresses. On average most people take about one week to load.
  • We pick up the loaded container and deliver it by tilt tray truck to Perth Freight Terminal where it departs for Melbourne on the train. There are daily services running so there is no downtime, usually the container departs Perth on the same day we pick it up.
  • We deliver the loaded container to your Melbourne address ready for you to unload and then remove the container when you are finished.

It really couldn’t be easier! We offer fast, convenient and reliable service at a great price.

"We used BSPC for our move from Melbourne to Perth and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team was fantastic from beginning to end. Everything was organised, efficient, and ran right on time, which made the whole process so much easier for us. They provided us with two trolleys, ropes, boxes, and plenty of blankets to protect our things. We were really impressed by how professional everyone was and how smoothly everything went. You could tell they’ve got their process down perfectly."

"Booked a 20 foot container from to Perth with budget self pack. From the get go, they were very responsive and provided an excellent service, all the way from container drop off to unloading. All my belongings arrived safely and nothing damaged. They also offered the best price out of multiple different companies I got quotes from. If I’m ever moving again, will definitely use them."

"What can I say. This is the second time we have used Budget Self Pack Containers in 3 years to move 2 vintage cars from Hobart to Perth. I literally can’t fault these guys. The communication from Michelle was fantastic including what paperwork was needed for quarantine in WA. The guys who dropped off and picked up the containers in Hobart and Perth went out of their way to make sure it all went smooth. I would highly recommend these guys and will def use again if needed"

Danny Birch | Moved from Adelaide to Perth | Jul 29, 2025

"Excellent service, very helpful friendly and knowledgeable staff, they helped us plan and work out dates from beginning to end!.. the containers are the larger and taller ( High Cube) which was great, they have rope tie down rails - great for keeping our goods secure, our container was dropped of by very friendly and polite tilt tray driver, at our home and was also dropped off on the exact dates by another very polite, friendly and helpful tilt tray truck drivers. The whole process for us was very smooth, with ample time for packing and unpacking. They even included blankets for covering ferniture and white hoods, and included ample rope, boxes or packing and even a trolley - which all was very helpful. We would use budget again and can highly recommend them to anyone moving interstate!… ours was Sydney to Perth!"
