Furniture Shipping Cost from Perth to Alexandria

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

The cheapest option depends on size and weight. UPS Ground or FedEx Ground are cost-effective for small furniture, while LTL freight is best for larger items. Using a shipping calculator can help compare rates and find the lowest cost.

Backloading, the cheaper alternative. Backloading involves sharing or splitting the costs associated with hiring a moving truck. Backloading happens when two or more people need to transport items interstate, but each person only has a small amount of furniture or goods to transport.
