In the removals and moving industry, different types of moves cater to various needs and distances. Here’s an explanation of each type:
Local Move
A local move refers to moving items within the same city or metropolitan area. This typically involves short distances, often within a 50-100 km radius.
Short distance, generally within the same city or town
Usually completed within a single day
Often charged based on an hourly rate or a flat fee
Usually less complex than long-distance moves due to shorter travel times and simpler logistics
Moving from one suburb to another within the same city, relocating from an apartment to a house in the same metropolitan area
Internal Move
An internal move involves relocating items within the same building or complex. This type of move is often needed when people are changing offices or moving from one apartment to another within the same building
Very short distance, typically within the same building or complex
Usually completed quickly, often within a few hours
Generally less expensive compared to local or interstate moves due to minimal travel
Typically straightforward, but may involve handling and reorganizing items within confined spaces
Moving from one floor to another in an office building, relocating from one apartment unit to another within the same apartment complex
Interstate Move
An interstate move involves relocating items between different states or territories. This type of move covers longer distances and may involve crossing state lines.
Long distance, often spanning several hundred or thousands of kilometers
Takes multiple days, depending on the distance and logistics
Generally higher due to the long distance, fuel, and potentially overnight accommodation costs for the movers
More complex than local or internal moves due to the need for long-distance planning, route optimization, and sometimes crossing state regulations
Moving from Sydney (NSW) to Melbourne (VIC), relocating from Brisbane (QLD) to Adelaide (SA)
Summary
Local Move: Short distance within the same city or town; quick and relatively inexpensive
Internal Move: Very short distance within the same building or complex; simple and often cost-effective
Interstate Move: Long distance between different states; more complex and costly due to travel and logistics
Each type of move requires different levels of planning and resources, and understanding these types helps in choosing the appropriate moving services and budgeting for the relocation.
