Who it’s for

Three reasons people get us to handle their Canberra auction win.

You’re interstate
Sydney · Melbourne · Brisbane

Won a Canberra lot but you can’t fly in. We pick up the same day, hold it free at our depot, and bring it on our next run to your city. No auction storage fees, no scrambling.

You’re local but need it delivered
Canberra · Queanbeyan

Won something that won’t fit in your car. We pick up from the auction yard and drop at your door — same day, flat rate. No taking time off work, no chasing a ute.

72 hours, on the clock
Beat the deadline

Allbids charges storage fees from hour 73 — $5/day for small, up to $55/day for vehicles. Send us the invoice and we’ll have it collected before the meter starts.

How it works

Three steps. We do everything between “you authorise us” and “it’s at your door.”

Send the zero-balance invoice

Forward your paid invoice from the auction house — that's the receipt showing the lot is yours and nothing's outstanding. Both Allbids and Pickles release goods on this alone. No template, no signed forms.

We collect — same day

We’re in Canberra weekly. Get your invoice to us in the morning, we’ll usually have it picked up by afternoon. Auction collection windows are not your problem.

Deliver or hold

Local Canberra/Queanbeyan delivery same day at a flat rate. Heading interstate? We hold it free at our depot until our next run going your way — usually within 7 days.

Pricing — local Canberra delivery

Flat tiers based on drive time from Fyshwick. Item size doesn’t change the price — we’re set up for the bulky stuff cheap couriers won’t touch.

Canberra → Sydney From $180 — see route
Other interstate routes See all routes
Vehicles, machinery, oversized Quote on request

Why Tier 1 is so cheap: our depot’s on the Fyshwick → inner south route. We’re heading that way home from the auction yards anyway, so dropping your stuff costs us almost no extra time. We pass that on. Got something under 5 kg? Try a courier — Classic Couriers Queanbeyan does $11. We’re set up for what they won’t touch.

Common questions

How quickly can you collect after I win a bid?
Same day in most cases. Send your zero-balance (paid) invoice in the morning, we'll usually have it picked up by 4pm. Slot it in earlier if timing's tight — call us.
What do I need to send you?
Just your zero-balance invoice from the auction house — the paid receipt showing the lot is yours and nothing's outstanding. Both Allbids and Pickles release goods on this alone. Forward it to us by email and we handle the rest. No template, no signed forms — the invoice is the authorisation.
Have you collected from Allbids and Pickles before?
Yes, both regularly. We know the layout, the release process, and the staff. Pickups go faster when the yard already recognises the truck.
Can you collect multiple lots in one trip?
Yes — usually cheaper than booking separate jobs. If you've won several lots, send all the invoices in one email. We combine them into one pickup if they're at the same yard, and consolidate delivery if they're going to the same place.
Do you handle vehicles?
Driveable and registered vehicles: yes, we collect directly from the auction house and load for transport. Salvage or unregistered vehicles: we can't drive them out of the yard, but we work with local tow partners who relocate them to our loading area — and we move from there. Pricing varies by item; call for a specific quote.
What does the price include and how do I pay?
The quote covers pickup, transport, and delivery, GST included. Auction-house buyer fees are between you and the auction — those aren't in our quote. Payment is bank transfer or card on completion for local jobs. Interstate runs over $500 we may ask for a 50% deposit upfront.
Is there really no charge for storage?
If you're booking interstate delivery with us, yes — your goods sit at our depot free until our next run heads your way (typically within 7 days). If a run gets pushed back, we'll let you know before then. We're a freight business, not a storage business — we hold your stuff because we'll be moving it.
What about damage in transit?
Honest answer: we don't carry transit goods insurance — we're an owner-operator, not a fleet. We photograph items at pickup and at drop-off so condition is documented from the start, and we handle goods carefully. For high-value items where you want extra cover, we recommend arranging your own transit insurance — happy to give your insurer a manifest of what we're carrying.
