As soon as you begin investigating how to move to Tasmania, you will highly likely run into a few issues. Many removalists do not include Tasmania on the moving routes. There are many reasons why but one of the major ones is that it's just not that profitable for them. Generally, more people (and goods) are going into Tasmania than coming out of Tasmania. This means that while the boats are full of cargo going one way, they may be nearly empty coming back. As a result, the shipping companies are forced to jack up their prices to make it worthwhile going both ways.
A great option to move to Tasmania is using a self pack shipping container. You can have an empty container delivered to your address anywhere on the mainland - Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin - and we will transport it to Burnie, Hobart, Launceston or wherever you may be relocating to in Tasmania. All the hassle is taken away and all you need to do is to transport yourself down to Tasmania to unpack your moving container.
