To send freight from the Sunshine Coast to Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, book it with All Freight Carrying: our own driver collects parcels, cartons or pallets from your business on the Sunshine Coast or in Gympie, the freight is checked and consolidated at our Yandina depot, and it travels on established national carrier networks to the destination, booked and tracked by our office through to proof of delivery. Sydney and Melbourne are each about 2 to 3 business days from pickup and Perth about 5 to 6, as estimates confirmed with every quote. No account is needed for a one-off parcel or pallet.

Sunshine Coast to Sydney
Sydney and Newcastle are about 2 to 3 business days from a Sunshine Coast or Gympie pickup, and Wollongong about 3 to 4. Regional New South Wales is delivered out of the nearest major centre and can take longer than Sydney itself. The mid-north coast can be slower than towns either side of it because it sits at the end of two networks, so it is worth checking the suburb before you promise a date. Canberra and the ACT are served out of Sydney at about 3 to 4 business days.
Sunshine Coast to Melbourne
Melbourne is about 2 to 3 business days from pickup. Geelong and Albury-Wodonga are about 3 to 4, and Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton about 4 to 5, all delivered out of Melbourne. Pallets for Melbourne distribution centres and warehouses usually need a receiving booking; tell us when you book and give us the booking details, and see booking freight into retail distribution centres.
Sunshine Coast to Perth
Perth is about 5 to 6 business days from pickup on the road network. Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Albany are delivered out of Perth and take longer. It is the longest mainland run from the Coast, so packing matters more: build pallets square with no overhang, wrap them to the base, strap heavy loads and label two sides. Tell us at booking if the receiver has no forklift, so tailgate delivery can be requested and confirmed with the quote.
How the freight gets there
- Pickup. Our own driver collects from your business on the Sunshine Coast or Gympie run, in the same pickup as your local and Brisbane freight.
- Checked at Yandina. Each item is scanned in, measured and consolidated at our depot.
- National linehaul. The freight leaves the coast on established national carrier networks for the destination state.
- Delivered and tracked. One consignment note and one tracking number from pickup to proof of delivery, and our office on the Sunshine Coast is the number you ring.
The pickup, the check at Yandina, the booking and the tracking are ours; the linehaul and the delivery at the other end are the national network’s. See interstate courier and freight from the Sunshine Coast.
What a quote needs
- Pickup suburb, and the destination suburb and postcode
- Number of cartons or pallets, with the dimensions and weight of each
- A short description of the goods, with any dangerous goods declared in writing
- Whether the receiver is a business or a home, its receiving hours, and whether there is a forklift
Freight is charged on the greater of its actual weight and its cubic weight, at 250 kg per cubic metre for road freight. Our guide to what an interstate courier costs explains every factor, and the step-by-step guides cover sending a pallet and sending a parcel interstate.
Other destinations
Adelaide is about 4 to 5 business days from pickup, Hobart and Darwin about 6 to 7, and Townsville and Cairns about 2 to 3, all from the same Sunshine Coast or Gympie pickup.
