What is Melbourne to Canberra 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.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience I had when getting a quote from Muval for my removal needs. The process was incredibly smooth and convenient. Their customer service was exceptional, taking the time to understand my requirements and providing me with a comprehensive and transparent quote.

Mitchell and the boys who moved our things have done a good job. ??
Sharon from Muval was absolutely magnificent, I had a difficult move, which she worked out within 15 minutes and got me an extremely good price, she was pleasant professional, what a great asset to her company.
Great removalist. Service was excellent from booking to the day of removal.
Mitchell at Muval provided a smooth and easy process, which made the stress of moving a little easier. Thank you.
Bree was amazing from enquiry to my booking being finalised - I changed my moving date a few times and Bree was nothing but patient and professional. Grateful for the outstanding service.
Our experience with Muval was simple and straightforward. The attitude was professional and nothing was a problem. I would not hesitate to recommend their services. Many thanks. JT.

Sharon from Muval was very engaging and provided great service! She was quick to provide quotes. I'm glad I was able to speak to Muval to kick start my removalist requirements.
Bree was a delight and assisted in removing all the stressful components of moving. From arranging the property utilities to be connected. To organising removalests to contact myself. Was greatly appreciated.
The guys were hard working, very pleasant to work with and very professional

A cubic metre is 1m x 1m x 1m. A full-sized container size is 38m3.
Truck sizes vary from 20m3 to 70m3 and sometimes 100m3.
Yes, it can, as long as you notify us before booking your move.
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.
Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
We encourage bookings ASAP, and this will hold the price, reserve the space, and give you peace of mind. This can also mean you avoid any future price rise.
Packing and unpacking boxes for your house is not usually included by default when you book a removalist. This is a service that needs to be booked separately (you can do this through Muval) or done yourself, and is best arranged for a day or two before your removalist is scheduled to do your uplift.
In our experience, people always dramatically under estimate the time it takes to pack their house, and it's usually one of the most burdensome tasks of moving! If you're packing yourself, make sure you start early and do a couple of boxes a day. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and book packing services through Muval. Your future self will thank you.
All furniture items will be wrapped in heavy removalist quilted padding to best protect your furniture; Some removalists will also use shrink wrap as well.
