Information on Excess Baggage and DIY Removals


WHAT CAN I PACK AS EXCESS BAGGAGE?

Excess baggage is perfect for short term relocations, international students or small moves. You’ll be able to transport your personal belongings like clothes, books or kitchenware without the need for a big moving truck or the cost of airline shipping or postal services.

WHAT CAN’T I PACK AS EXCESS BAGGAGE?

Excess baggage is only for smaller, personal belongings that you can pack with the boxes and packing materials we provide. For larger items and furniture, we offer high quality, professional removalist services, whether you’re moving locally, interstate or overseas.
