Self Load & Unload Removals: Perfect for Interstate Removalist Requirements.
It’s Easy
1. You Pack – 2 You Stack – 3. We move
Our Self Load / Unload Interstate Removal Service is designed for people who;
- May be on a budget and are capable and prepared to load and unload their shipping container using services from Self Loading Australia.
- Want to take time loading and sort & cull as they go. We recommend an auction for the disposal of surplus goods.
- Need a convenient and secure storage facility, usually on their property, with a self loading machine in australia, rather than having to double handle their goods into and out of an expensive self storage unit.
- Need to travel round Australia/overseas, store your goods in a container, give your house on rent so you have an income while on holidays, travelling the world.
How self load removals work:
- We deliver a shipping container to ground level at your current home.
- You load it like a pro with instructions provided by us within three days
- We relocate it to ground level at your new home.
- You unload within 1 – 3 days, then sweep it out.
- We take the container away.

on price or service
- Cost Saving – The biggest cost for a traditional removalist is the cost of labour to load and unload. With a self loading machine in Australia, you save that cost by loading and unloading yourself. Depending on your location and the time of the year, you can save up to 50% on the price quoted by a removalist. We are available by telephone 7 days a week.
- Less Pressure –
You get up to three days to load and another three days to unload. That equals much less pressure. You also have the opportunity to sort and cull as you use Self Loading Australia. - No Worries – We co-ordinate all transport with proven top quality road, rail and sea going contractors. We also supply structurally sound certified containers so as to ensure the safe and secure transport of your goods.
- Security – Unlike removalists, no one else shares or has access to your container. You place your lock on it and you control who has access from the time it is delivered to your current home to the time it is delivered by us to your new home.
- On Going Storage – You can leave your goods in the shipping container in storage on your site or ours for as long as you like while you search for a house, build, or simply clean your new home. Additional charges apply so please discuss this option with us before you move.
- Loading and Unloading – Sorry but there will be a few hours of hard work at each end of your removal. Some people choose to employ men from a local removal company to load and unload for them. The cost for two (2) removalists is usually around $100.00 + GST per hour. If you make sure that all small items are packed into cartons and all furniture is easily accessible, two removalists can generally load a 20 foot shipping container in less than half a day. The same crew would generally unload to a good level access, close to the container, in about 2-3 hours.
- Country Areas – The cost effective options to get around that is to load and unload the same day Usually we allow three hours free of charge . Some clients also choose to purchase their container and on sell it locally when they are finished with it. Shipping containers are always well sought after and usually cost more in country areas. It is therefore possible for a client to not only save the cost of recovering our container, but also to make a profit on it when they sell it later. If you are in a remote location, talk to us about possible options to make your relocation as cost effective as possible.

Things to think about when organising a Half Price Container Interstate Removal:
- Would you prefer to use our container(s) or would you prefer to buy and use your own?
- What size container do you need? A 20 foot shipping container will generally hold the contents of an average 3 bedroom home or a small 4 bedroom home.
- Do you have enough room to safely place the container at your house or business?
- Which way would you like the container doors to be facing when it arrives?
- Is up to three (3) days to load and the same to unload enough time for you? if not, talk to us.
- Do not forget that you will need blankets to wrap your furniture, straps to tie your goods into the container and cartons to pack the smaller items. We can advise on all of this.
- Do you want to hold on to the container for a longer period while you clean, paint or find a new home?
Moving Insurance:
Due to new Government Regulations, we as a transport company are not able to arrange transit insurance on your behalf. However, cover is available, try your own insurance company or CARTS on www.removalsinsurance.com.au . Contact your current household insurer to find out whether or not they provide transit insurance under your existing policy when you move house.
Posted on Google VenidiciTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Fernandos Half Price Removalists (FHPR). Right from the start, Julie gave us fast, efficient and professional service. Both she and Tony answered our many, many questions with a great deal of patience. The price was excellent. The container was as described and travelled very well. Communication was great throughout the service and the container was delivered, in good order, on Australia Day. Before we heard about FHPR, we were resigned to getting rid of most of our belongings. The prices other removalists charge, to move freight from regional WA to country Victoria, meant that it'd be cheaper to just take the essentials by trailer and then buy more stuff later. As someone who has worked in transport and logistics for many years, it's fantastic to find a self-loading and self-unloading service that's affordable and straightforward. Thanks for your help Tony, Julie and Alan, we appreciate it tremendously.Posted on Google Don CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were moving house from Bunbury WA to Cairns QLD. Received way more expensive quotes from removalists with workers to load and unload the container. We found Fernando's whilst googling self pack options, and we seriously can't believe how easy the process was. Julie in the office was no fuss efficiency from the first call. We had a quote by the end of the day including the travel time for the container to get to Cairns. Any questions we had were answered the same day and by the end of it, we actually felt like Julie was a mate of ours helping out. Owner Tony dropped the container right where we needed it and we only paid a one off fee to keep the container as long as we needed (13 days for us ). Communication whilst in transit was spot on all the way to drop off at our door on Christmas Eve. Contents in the container had not moved one bit and arrived without damage. Container was clean with wooden floors, plenty of tie down points and watertight. Can't recommend this mob highly enough. 5 star rating from us. Thanks so much Tony and Julie.Posted on Google Ken HendrickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After receiving quotes from several companies, Fernando’s quote $1,500 cheaper than the opposition. Dealing with Tony, the owner, he offered advice on the best way to ship a container from Perth to Victoria. He dropped the Sea container off on Friday, and picked it up the following Wednesday. We received the SC on the following Monday by Allan. What impressed me was how the whole process was easy, fast and very cost effective. A friendly and professional service and I can’t recommend them highly enough.Posted on Google Jason RyderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience with Fernandos half price. From the get go Tony gave me clear quotes and time frames for my move from WA to QLD. He updated me each step of the way and was always available for a call for any questions!Posted on Google Google ReviewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tony from Fernando’s Half Price Removal was absolutely fantastic to deal with. My shipping container was safely transported all the way from Perth to Melbourne without any issues. The price was very reasonable, and the whole process went smoothly from start to finish. Being my first time hiring a shipping container, I was a bit nervous, but Tony made everything easy and stress-free. Highly recommended! — BenPosted on Google Veesh TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best price and excellent service from Tony! Nice bloke. He dropped the container on his flattop for the day as council refused our permit application and also maintained his storage price even though brisbane prices went up. Would recommend 110%.Posted on Google Darren StoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute 100% professional. Tony and the team are so easy to deal with through the whole process from Tasmania to South of Perth. Updated via message every step of the way. Highly highly recommendPosted on Google Stephen NaullsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony and his team were amazing. From delivery of our 20ft container in Perth to delivery in Cairns in a week! Sea container was excellent, door to door service was no fuss and the drop off and pick was no hassle. Thoroughly recommend Fernando's Half Price. Great service and great pricing. We will recommend to all our friends.Posted on Google Sovereign BillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony and the team moved a 20ft shipping container from Vic to WA for me. The whole job went perfectly, I didn't have to stress about anything from pickup to dropoff. Highly recommend Fernandos Half Price Removals for excellent service and prices you will not beat!
