What is Sydney to Melbourne 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.

Super helpful. Took the stress out of moving. Organised reliable movers, movers had great communication. Prices were upfront. No hidden costs.
— Paul Clarke
Our pick up and delivery from Perth to Adelaide went well without any issues. They were very prompt and communication was great!
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...
Mitchell and the boys who moved our things have done a good job. ??
Great experience through Muval, we spoke to Mitchell who recommended a company called AuServin that were great value and did a good job of our move from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast
Shaz has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. All my questions answered promptly and in a friendly, polite manner. Muval has been such a time saver, Sharon did all the phoning around and got us a really competitive quote. Our transfer ha...

Awesome service from Jamahl, from my initial contact with muval he was polite, conscientious, professional, responsive and always helpful. He is a credit to the organisation. Thanks for your help mate.
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...

Sharon was excellent, great service and made the first half of the move go extremely smoothly.

I was very happy with the service provided by Muval, they helped ensure my move went smoothly and stress-free.
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...
Kirsty was incredibly helpful and prompt when I required urgent assistance.
Brilliant service. Timely, easy to organise and extremely competitive price wise Great attention to detail.

Muval is a professional company who managed our interstate move seamlessly, highly recommended.

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.
It is preferred if you or your representative to be present at the pickup and drop off.
It is preferable to consider taking out an all-risk policy for your move. We offer two different options of coverage for your move, which include lowering the excess to obtain a lower premium or the ability to cover specific items of your move: https://www.muval.com.au/cover
This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
When quoting on your job, we provide the name and reviews of the company that matches your inquiry. Although we vet every company on our system, we encourage you to do your own due dilligence on the company you choose.
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.
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!
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.
