How does it work?
Customers who need something moved list their freight on FreightSeek in just a few simple steps. We'll ask you what you're shipping, the origin and destination points, when you need it shipped etc. Our network of Australian transport companies will then be alerted to your transport request. Transporters will then provide online quotes to move your goods. When you find a quote that is suitable to your needs and budget simply accept the quote.
What can I ship with FreightSeek?
You can ship just about anything. Commercial freight, vehicles, horses and livestock, parcels and packages, boats, shipping containers, household goods... just about anything. Once you list your freight we will alert all relevant transport providers. So if you need a boat transported for example, we'll alert only boat transporters about your freight request.
