What is Cairns backloading?
Backloading is when you book the remaining truck space on a truck that’s already booked by someone else. It often means you may have to be slightly flexible on your pickup and delivery dates & times, but in turn it usually means big cost savings relative to booking a "primary load".
Booking backloads is a common practice among interstate removalists, who are often willing to give cheap or discounted prices for the available space in a truck that is going from point A to point B, or on the return journey if they have been unable to find a customer needing to move in the opposite direction.

Muval is responsive and professional with my various enquiries. They engaged O'clock Removalist for my move and everything went well and smooth as planned. Chargo and Leo did a great job.
I would recommend this company to friends and family. Very caring and helpful with all details. Made this transition smooth and no stress, once again thank you Sharon.
The help that Shaz gave me was awesome. She was a massive help & answered all my questions
I used Muval this week to organise to transport a few pieces of furniture between Australian cities. I am usually really anxious about these moves because they seem to big for most couriers and too small for furniture removalists. Muval gav...
Jamahl was fantastic to work with and made booking our interstate move seamless!
Took the guess work out of the process which was great since I had a lot on my mind and needed everything arranged quickly.
Absolutely great service with a short turn around of time so close to Xmas. Mitchell went above and beyond, my heart is truly grateful
Had a seamless move using Muval, couldn't recommend them highly enough! Thanks guys
Mitchell was great to work with. He made the process of booking and working with the removalists really easy. The quality of the movers was great.
This service took the guesswork out of selecting a removalist. We had a heavy table and desk to move. They found a provider that could do the job, and when that provider had to pull out they quickly found another. When there was a change of...

Really happy with the experience, move went well! Bree was also amazing from the support team!!

Sharon from Muval helped me move interstate Brisbane - Perth. Got the best price and good removalists either side to help with the moving. Simple and easy to work with.
Our move went smoothly and the guys were very professional and friendly, I will continue working with them and will recommend them for sure. Many thanks to Mitchell for finding us the best company although it was very late for booking for t...

It is preferred if you or your representative to be present at the pickup and drop off.
If you need to change the delivery or pick up date, please advise the removalist as early as possible. They can sometimes accommodate changes and reschedule but this has a few variables.
If you change your list of items or space required a week before your move, we can usually adjust the price accordingly. In some circumstances this won’t be possible depending on the booking volume and amount of change and notice provided.
We only work with experienced and reputable moving companies and its in their best interests to pack accurately in the trucks for two main reasons:
- It maximizes the space available.
- A tight well-loaded vehicle ensures less movement and motion on the road/rail.
If you have the original TV box, please use it. You can also purchase TV storage/removal boxes from storage centres. If you don’t have a box and can’t source one, the removalist will use heavy-duty blankets to protect the TV.
Each company has differing policies about notification before the pickup and delivery. Some companies can provide a time window on booking, others provide this the day before, while others will provide notice within an hour of their arrival.
If you cancel within 48 hours of your booking (if your move is more than 5 days away) or give three weeks’ notice before your pick up date, you will get a full refund of your deposit.
Reading reviews is a great way to determine if a removalist is the right one for you. Platforms like Google, Product Review or Muval are great for this because they have built-in mechanisms to ensure reviews are from genuine people that have actually interacted with that business.
However, we advise to be cautions of moving companies with hundres of reviews and a perfect 5 star rating on these platforms as reviews unfortunately can be faked. Don't get us wrong: honest companies with a perfect 5 star rating do exist and they are excellent (we have a few on our platform!). But, given the nature of furniture removalist work, something, at some point, is bound to go wrong. Maybe the truck breaks down and is late for a job. Maybe someone accidentally trips and some items in a box are damaged. Whatever it is, accidents unfortunately do happen and these sorts of occassions rarely attract a 5 star rating.
Because of this, companies with a 4.5 or above rating are often just as good as a company with a perfect 5. So, we suggest, instead of looking for all 5-star reviews, take a look at a companies worst reviews and pay special attention to how they responded to the issue. Were they sympathetic? Did they respond promptly? Did they offer a resolution? Were they contactable for the customer to voice their concerns? These are the sorts of things that separate the best removalists from those who don't deliver a high level of service.
