Sending pallets to Perth.
The distance between Brisbane and Perth is approximately 3000 kilometers. Sending pallet freight to Perth and even from Perth to the Eastern side of Australia would take about 33 hours. Air freighting a pallet is the fastest method to get freight from the east coast of Australia to the west coast, although it does come with an increased cost. Although for some businesses operating out of Western Australia, air freight can help them out sticky situations. For anyone who has made the trip to Perth from Brisbane, you’d know on the way over, it takes about 6 hours, but on the way back its 4.5 to 5 hours.
Sending pallets to Perth by road or rail can be one of the most reliable pallet freight services if you don’t want to pay air freight costs. The range of carriers running trucks across the Nullabor is quite extensive, so there’s no limit to the choice of service you need. Given the vast distance from Brisbane to Perth, Overnight, Same-Day delivery is obviously not an option, as the trip generally takes at least 3 days. Most road freight pallet service carriers will get your freight there in the allotted time. One World Courier partners with road , rail and air freight carriers, so you can trust your shipment will be delivered on time and in the same condition they left Brisbane.
Freight carriers travelling to Perth from Brisbane will generally pick up from a depot or place of business and arrange delivery in Perth either to a central freight hub or depot.
What are the different express pallet options?
There are three main express pallet options: Standard, Express, and Premium. Standard is the most basic service and is perfect for small pallet shipments where boxes are stacked on top of one another, then wrapped in clear plastic to keep the items compacted when in transit. Express is a bit faster of course and is ideal for medium-sized shipments, although given the length of distance the pallets have to travel, Express and Premium services can be much the same. Depending on the freight carrier, such as Northline, TNT, ups or DHL, their services may be called something different.
Choosing the best freight pallet service from Brisbane to Perth.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the best freight pallet service from Brisbane to Perth.
- First, think about the size and weight of your pallets and the contents. One of the biggest considerations when sending freight on pallets is how will it be loaded at the pick up address and will there be the facilities at the delivery destination to unload the palette(s). Generally, when shipping pallets, they are being send from commercial-to-commercial locations, and not to a residential location.
A forklift may be required to load and unload a pallet, but bear in mind, a pallet can be loaded at one end with a forklift, but the delivery vehicle may only have a tailgate lift on the back. This is perfectly acceptable if the receiver has a hand pallet jack and the pallet is light enough to be easily moved. - Second, consider the time frame you need your shipment delivered. If it is urgent, you will need a faster service such as overnight or priority service. Lastly, getting quotes from different freight companies specialising in regular pallet freight services from Brisbane to Perth can time-consuming, especially if the only option is to ring around different carriers asking for prices. Thankfully, the One World Courier freight technology platform makes it easy to get multiple pallet quotes in a few seconds. Everything you need to get pallet quotes, compare and make a booking is at your fingertips. Just punch in the pickup address in Brisbane, and the Perth delivery address, our software will calculate which freight carriers can get the job done.

What can go wrong sending pallets from, Brisbane to Perth?
When the freight transport providers are good, they’re great at what they do. They have large fleets that can move anything from one place to another with ease and efficiency for many years on end! Although sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned – though this is infrequent enough so it doesn’t usually matter much in any case- even when there’s no major damage done or unsecured loads slipping during transit (which does happen), your pallets may still come under mild strain because their holding force isn’t quite strong enough against external pressures such us extreme weather conditions which could cause minor damages like slightly squashed cartons on a pallet.
One World Courier understands the importance of ensuring that your freight is delivered safely and securely. That’s why we provide insurance quotes for any loss or damage incurred during transport.
Another common thing to be wary of is that the agreed delivery time could stretch out a bit. Remembering the distance from Brisbane to Perth is around 4000KM, there are many things that could delay the shipment. This could be varying road conditions, road works, seasonal rains washing our roads, as we have witnessed so very often in Australia over the last couple of years.
At the time of writing this, over 1000 truck driver jobs are available on Australia’s largest job site, SEEK.com.au. It’s also common knowledge that transport companies are struggling to keep their trucks on the road due to coronavirus. When the virus hit, it sent a large proportion of interstate truck drivers into isolation. This put a massive amount of strain delivery times, especially from the east to west coast of Australia.
Just bear in mind, although freight services will give you firm delivery date, at times you may have to be flexible. Of course, if your customer is in Perth, and desperate for the pallet and its contents, then arranging shipment from Brisbane may mean choosing air freight, calling on TNT, UPS, DHL or FedEx to get the job done.
