No obligation. Fixed price, not an estimate.
What food and plants can I take into South Australia?
Less than you think. South Australia protects a fruit fly free status its growers depend on. It is the strictest food border in the country.
The banned list is short but it covers things in every kitchen. No fresh fruit at all. No tomatoes, capsicums, chillies, eggplant or avocado.
No soil either, so a planted pot is a problem. Grapevine cuttings are banned from everywhere.
Getting caught carries a fine of up to $423. Disposal bins sit on the Dukes Highway near Bordertown, and there is a station at Pinnaroo. Mobile roadblocks can appear anywhere.
What is allowed is more than people assume. Dried, cooked, frozen, canned and preserved fruit all travel. So do mushrooms, onions, leafy greens and root vegetables with the soil off.
What does a Melbourne to Adelaide move cost?
A set price agreed at booking. This is the most affordable interstate corridor we run, because the distance is short.

What affects your quote
-
Size of the load
Still the biggest factor. A unit and a five bedroom house are not close.
-
Stairs and parking
Adelaide is flatter and easier to park than Melbourne. That helps the Adelaide end.
-
Who packs
Your boxes cost less. Our packing costs more and takes a day off your hands.
-
Timing
Short runs fill fast at month end, because leases in both cities turn over together.
How long does it take?
One to three days. This is the only interstate corridor we run that needs no overnight stop.
Around 730 kilometres
Western Freeway and Highway, Dukes Highway, then the South Eastern Freeway.
Nine to ten hours of driving
Inside the legal cap of 12 hours work in a 24 hour period, with room spare.
Load one day, deliver the next
No overnight stop for the truck means less handling and less vibration.
A reliable road
No mountain passes and no known seasonal closure pattern on this route.
Why book UNN for this run?
-
Next day delivery, genuinely
The drive fits one legal shift. Most loads go one day and arrive the next, with no depot night.
-
We go through your kitchen first
A fruit fly briefing before load day. You lose nothing at the border and pay no fine.
-
The cheapest interstate run we do
Short distance and no overnight stop takes a driving day out of the cost.
-
Same crew, both ends
One truck, Melbourne kerb to Adelaide kerb. On a run this short nobody else needs to touch it.
