Backloading: Sydney to Canberra

sydney-to-canberra

When it comes to relocating from NSW to the ACT, the expense can be high enough before you add in the cost of hiring full service removalists. Fortunately, Transcorp Removals & Storage offers a low-cost alternative to traditional removals. Our backloading from Sydney to Canberra involves your items being placed in a truck that’s being used for another job. Ideal for smaller loads, backloading is a great way to save money on transportation.

As well as your items being moved in a truck carrying the items of another client, backloading can also involve moving your goods in a truck that’s making its return journey to your destination. If you’re making the move from Sydney to Canberra, this means you would use a truck that’s dropped off its load in Sydney and is ready to return to Canberra. This ensures the truck won’t be wasting its trip, as it will be carrying your items rather than returning empty.

Leave the Heavy Lifting To Us

With 35 years of industry experience, Transcorp Removals & Storage is a leading full service removalist choice when it comes to backloading removals. Our professional removalists pride themselves on the level of service they provide to clients, ensuring all belongings are handled with care to minimise the risk of damage. We also use itemisation for all backloading jobs so you can be sure all your items will arrive safely at your destination.

About our Moving & Storage Services

I had 3 men from Transcorp come upload my personal belongings yesterday. Can I say, they were the most friendliest, professional, happy, workers who also took pride and dealt with my furniture with care. Thank you to Rocky, Lincoln & Faga you made it such a stress free day and nothing was a problem for you. I hope that there are no damages to my property once it is unloaded.

Giovanna Lucano

Excellent service. Communication was good (thanks Lilly), on time, efficient and the two men who moved the furniture, and everything else, were positive and friendly. No criticisms at all. David from Bayside

David Perry

Nick & Tom from Transcorp did a brilliant job for our move – we’ve used other removalists in the past, who were all ok, but honestly our experience with Transcorp was exceptional. We had a big interstate move, and it went really well, thanks to these guys. Fast, efficient, experienced, and everything moved with care – I can’t praise the guys enough!

Mr Claytron

We moved from Sydney to Melbourne and used their storage for about 2 months. The pick-up, storing and redelivery are all smooth particularly the guys that did our redelivery, fast and professional. Would recommend Transcorp.

Just wanted to say tx Lynne, job done. From your very first contact to the boys delivering its been a seamless experience. Sam is a total legend. Engaging and calm under pressure and very good on the tools too. Can't imagine a better operator to be honest. Caleb is a great bloke too, great team. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

We had a fantastic experience with Transcorp Removalists. They were on time, professional, and communicated clearly from start to finish. The team handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made the whole process feel stress-free.

Pricing was very fair and transparent, with no surprises, and the service exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated how organised and respectful the team was throughout the move.

Highly recommend Transcorp Removalists and would absolutely use them again.

Very professional and so easy to communicate with. I never at any stage felt anxious about my decision to have transport removals & storage handle my things. Super efficient and I recommend them to anyone, as I would use them in future myself if need be. Hats off to the staff.

Jason Liu

Transcorp were genuinely phenomenal!

I lived in a very remote part of the NT and was moving halfway across the country to interstate. These guys were able to put a move together for me in under a week. That was despite very short notice (as I cancelled my original removalist, who would have taken about 2 months to get to me), wet weather and my local barge service having mechanical issues.

Very happy I went with Transcorp and will definitely be using them again if I need to move in the future. Strongly recommend them to anyone.

Teresa Bretnall

I have had an amazing experience with Transcorp. Predominantly my point of contact for my entire process has been with Monika Sobkowicz. She is the most patient, friendly and professional person I have dealt with in a very long time. Monika has bent over backwards to assist me with 2 removals from 2 different states at the same time. I have had to change dates several times due to work circumstances, and every time Monika has come to the party with grace and efficiency. Monika also worked very hard to get me the best price possible. Thankyou 🙏. I would highly recommend this company and Monika to anyone wanting a seam free experience. In today’s world it’s very rare to find people who actually care about their customers.
Thankyou once again for helping me in a very difficult situation and relieving a lot of stress.

My wife, Michèle, had spoken with several companies before, luckily, getting on to Transcorp. Quite a few: "it's December so we'll charge you double" (on already high rates).
Spoke with Lilly who couldn't have been nicer nor more helpful.
On the day, Sonny and his 2 mates were great: right on time; friendly and efficient.
Couldn't recommend Transcorp more highly.

We had a leather couch delivered by their team, and initially, we had some trouble getting it to fit. However, Shadi and the Transcorp team were very prompt and managed to make it work the following and within a few minutes everything was installed. Thank you! We’ll definitely be recommending them to our friends in the area.
