Muval insight

Muval's expert insight on moving Sydney to Melbourne

Sydney to Melbourne is a lane where comparing the market can make a meaningful difference to the price customers see. Confirmed Muval bookings show a typical price of $1,564 for loads averaging 14.2m3, with an average rate of $135/m3. Among customers who paid below their average competing quote after comparing on Muval, the typical difference was $874, or 31.7%, so it is worth checking more than one option. The route covers about 713 km as the crow flies, usually moves by truck, and typically takes 2 days in transit. A competition score of 99 out of 100 suggests very strong quote choice, while demand sits at 100 out of 100. Customers generally enquire about 17 days before pickup and book around 12 days out, giving them room to weigh price, reviews and pickup windows. Check availability on Muval or call 1300 168 825.

Based on real Muval bookings

Muval uses real marketplace data to help customers better understand what interstate moves typically cost, how competitive a route is, and how far in advance people usually book.

The figures shown on this page are based on aggregated Muval enquiry, quote and confirmed booking data, generally covering the period from June 2023 to June 2026. For city pages, the data may be split between moves to that city and moves from that city. For route pages, the data is specific to that direction — for example, Sydney to Melbourne is treated separately from Melbourne to Sydney.

What the metrics mean

Average move price is the mean price paid across confirmed Muval bookings for this page or route.

Median move price is the middle confirmed booking price. This is often a better guide to a “typical” move because it is less affected by unusually large or expensive moves.

Average price per cubic metre is calculated by dividing the average booked move price by the average move size. This helps compare pricing across different home sizes.

Median price per cubic metre is calculated for each booking as price divided by cubic metres, then we take the median across those bookings.

Average move size is the average cubic-metre volume recorded for confirmed bookings.

Average quotes per move is the average number of removalist quotes customers received for this route or page.

Competition score is a 0–100 score showing how competitive this route is based on quote volume. A score of 50 is around the Muval network median, while 100 means the route is among the most competitive in the network.

Route demand is a 0–100 score based on enquiry volume. A higher score means more customers are searching for this route compared with other interstate pages.

Typical savings are calculated from confirmed bookings where the customer received two or more quotes and paid less than the average quote they received. We calculate the dollar and percentage difference for each eligible booking, remove extreme outliers, then average the result.

Busiest on-peak and off-peak months show the month with the highest enquiry volume during peak season, generally October to February, and off-peak season, generally March to September.

Median lead time, enquiry to move is the typical number of days between a customer submitting an enquiry and their requested move date.

Median lead time, booking to move is the typical number of days between a customer confirming a removalist and their move date.

Average transport timeframe or typical transit time is based on the average pickup-to-delivery timeframe from confirmed bookings where delivery dates were recorded.

Important disclaimer

These figures are indicative only and are provided to help customers understand general marketplace trends. They do not represent a quote, estimate, offer, guarantee or promise of pricing, availability, savings, delivery timing or service outcome.

Actual prices, savings and transit times will vary depending on your move size, inventory, access conditions, pickup and delivery locations, dates, seasonality, availability of interstate removalists, minimum charges, fuel and operating costs, and any extra services requested.

Where savings are shown, they reflect historical Muval booking data for eligible moves where customers received two or more quotes and paid less than the average quote they received. Savings are not guaranteed. Some customers may save more, save less, or receive quotes that are higher than the figures shown.

Muval applies minimum sample sizes, data cleaning and outlier trimming before publishing these figures. Where there is not enough reliable data for a page or route, we may withhold or limit certain metrics.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Depending on the destination and the state you are going to. Standard delivery times vary from one day to 21 days.

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.

No one expects that you keep the original box that your TV came in when you bought it. Most removalists can provide special TV moving cardboard boxes that can help to keep your TV safe and secure while being transported (make sure you enquire about this before your move day. Otherwise, you can protect your television by wrapping it in blankets and then wrapping that tightly in cling film. Finally, as a peace of mind measure, we recommend purchasing one of our affordable moving insurance policies to protect your most valuable possessions like your TV in case of an accident.

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.
