Freight Pricing Breakdown: What You Can Expect

We know freight pricing can be confusing, so we keep it simple and transparent. If you’re shipping bulk freight between NSW and VIC, your costs generally fall into two categories:

  • Per Kilogram Pricing: You can ship items starting at $0.08 per kilogram. This is best for standard parcel or bulk item shipping.
  • Per Pallet Rates: You can ship pallets for bulk freight transport, starting at $56.00 per pallet.

Note: Final pricing depends on load dimensions, total weight, urgency (standard vs express), and metro vs regional locations. For example, metro-to-metro runs typically cost less than regional or express services. Your quote will also include all surcharges and fees.

When you request a quote, we’ll assess your load and optimise it to keep costs down, whether it’s warehouse restocking, factory transfers or bulky deliveries.

3 Tips to Save on Interstate Freight Costs

Saving money on bulk freight doesn’t have to be hard. These three tips can help you get more value from every shipment:

  1. Pack Pallets to Full Capacity: Stack items carefully to maximise pallet space. Avoid shipping half-filled pallets, which drive up costs per kilogram.
  2. Ship During Off-Peak Times: Book shipments during off-peak days when carriers offer lower rates. Avoid weekends and peak periods, such as the weeks leading up to Christmas or the end of the financial year, when demand and prices surge.
  3. Consolidate Small Shipments: Group smaller shipments into a single bulk consignment to reach volume thresholds. For example, instead of sending three half-pallet loads on different days, combine them into a single full pallet to access lower per-pallet rates.

When applied consistently, these tips can reduce your freight spend significantly, especially if you ship frequently. Our team can also provide personalised cost-saving strategies based on your operation.
