What is Melbourne to Gold Coast 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.

Sharon from Muval helped every step of the way from getting the cheapest possible quote to ensuring everything was included. She gave a personal touch and was very understanding of the emotional stresses with moving.
Arrived early, got straight to it and didn't take a break until the job was done. Gary and Dean were awesome and Id recommend to anyone.
Thanks Mitchell at Muval for organizing my removalists after another had cancelled on me at the last minute! Totally professional, quick & responsive. Would recommend to anyone planning their move!
Fantastic Service provided by Muval, and in turn their choice of removalist - Magic Monster Removals. Everything was clearly explained, followed up, moved without issue, and competitively priced. Shaz did a great job. Thank You!

The team at Muval were very helpful and professional and found a removalist company and truck really quickly with within my time frame. Everything was made easy for me to complete and I recommend using this service. Thank you Mitchell.
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.
Muval made my recent move - even though a short one - a much easier process. The boys on the crew worked hard all day. Thanks
Highly recommended. On time, hard workers and took great care of our belongings. Always ready to communicate.
Muval made moving so easy. Their recommendations for services such as furniture removal, energy providers were perfect. Furniture nicer without a scratch and utility services connected without any problems. Well done Muval.

I can't recommend Shaz from Muval highly enough! Shaz was very responsive to all my questions and got me an amazing deal with a quality removalist for an interstate transfer.
We started dealing with Mitchell about 6 weeks before our move. The service he provided was fantastic together with the removalists, ASL Removals. Mitchell also followed up on the evening of our move to ensure it all went well. 10/10 would ...

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.

It depends on your volume and which carrier we are using for your move. Some companies can delay the delivery by a day for an extra fee, but others may not be able to if the truck is only passing by your address and must continue driving.
The cost for your local move will depend on how long your move takes. Some dishonest moving companies quote very cheap hourly or half-hourly rates to get your job, and then work slowly on the day or surprise you with additional charges in order to make more money.
Unless they are running a limited special offer, most honest removal companies need to charge at least $45 per half hour or more in order to pay their staff (two people usually come to load and unload the truck for you), pay their insurances, and make sure their trucks are serviced regularly.
When looking at your kitchen, the industry standard is one book carton to each cupboard door.
Yes, absolutely. Please mention this at the time of booking, as it may make a difference to the provider we match you with.
Some companies will have storage at the destination and some at the pickup. Some even include complimentary storage!
