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.

Fantastic service, always go above and beyond and more than happy to answer questions. I’ll never use another company as I know 100% I get the best price and best service with Muval. I highly recommend for anybody looking at moving interstate to contact these guys, I’ve used them twice.

When I contacted Muval at the first time, they were very responsive and helpful. Every single issue I had, they calmly sorted out and informed me about the process. Thank you Jamahl the staff member that supported me and Muval

Jay is the best! He was extremely helpful in booking my interstate move. Thanks
Amazing service from Muval and especially Sharon. Prompt and professional.
The team were helpful, had great communication and were patient and adapted with the changes of my move plans. Saved me a lot of time and work with having to source removalists myself.
Anna was incredibly helpful! She helped me organise my move after Id tried booking with three other companies with no success. Thank you so much Muval, Ill be calling again for help when I next move house.
The Team from Muval made our move so easy, they found us a super good removalist and new internet connection
We booked through Muval last minute and they quickly got us a quote. A positive experience.

Jess was so helpful with our move! She helped us draft our furniture list and made sure to think of all the little details!! The removalists were friendly and Jess just made the whole process so seamless & easy! 5 star service!!!

Anna was amazing at helping me find a cheap ($280 compared to $450 average I was getting), friendly and efficient removalist's from Jim's movers.
I was in a hurry to move and booked with Muval, fully expecting them to be unable to find movers for the next day. I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong, and was blown away by the quality of service and speed of response (shout out ...

The final payment must be paid five days before the nominated pickup date.
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.
The first thing to do once you’ve moved into your new home is to check the house. Check out Chapter 4 of our moving house guide for a detailed outline of what to do after you move.
This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
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.
The earlier you book your move the more confident you can be that the date you wish to move will be available. However, the time in advance that you should book is heavily dependent on the time of year. Between October and March we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance of when you want to move. From March - September you can leave it a little later, booking 2-3 weeks out.
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!
If you change your list of items or space required to an increased amount, the removalist will adjust the price accordingly. It is advisable to inform Muval as soon as you know that your moving volume has increased. This way, we can plan to avoid any items being left behind on the move day. Please contact Muval about two days before your move once you have finished packing; this way, we can give the correct information to the removalist company before the day.
