Utilising backloads is a cheaper way of transporting furniture or items around Australia. It involves placing your items or furniture on a truck that already has a primary load booked either by utilising the excess space in the truck, or putting it in the truck on its return journey.
Booking backloads is a common practice among interstate removalists, and it essentially involves utilising the excess capacity available in trucks. Removal companies are often willing to give discounted rates 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. When you book a backload, you'll need to be slightly flexible in terms of your pickup and delivery dates to fit in with the truck's schedule, but you'll be able to secure a very competetive price.
Muval is the best place to book a backload. Without Muval, customers usually call dozens of removal companies trying to find one that has a truck travelling between their desired pickup and drop off locations near to the dates that they want. When you book a backload with Muval, we do all of the hard work for you, finding you an appropriate match as close as possible to when you want to move.

- Removalist ServiceSunny and his friend helped me to move my stuff from Docklands to Pointcook. Fitst of all he has a smiling face and he is very possitive. He came to place on time. he gave max attention to keep the furnitures and the other goods in perfect condition. At point cook he put all furnitures where ever I want him to put without any hassle, and to be honest couple of furnitures were very heavy and tricky. but he didnt strugle and carried these furnitures to level 2 from the stairs without aný scratch on the walls and furnitures. I am impressed. These guys are talented and know what they do.
thank you very much and all the best.

- Removalist ServiceI used The Company last weekend 13 sept 14 after a recomendation from my friend. I was abit worry in choosing a removalist this time because I was moving into a brand new apartment that has a full list of compliances and holding my cash deposit incase anything broken/damage. However, my worries were all freed once the removalist- [names removed] arrived. They arrived exactly on my booking time ( 9am sharpe!). Both were very proffesional, friendly, courteous, great attention to details and very efficient. All my furnitures are arrived scratch free and they even arranged everything according to where it should be/by the label on the box as well as wrapped and unwrapped my mattress. The quote and booking were also very efficient and alot of follow up by emails and sms to make sure they are sending me a right truck ( thank you [name removed]!).

I am writting this review in this site for the first time because i think this guys are deserved it for their fantastic works.

- Removalist ServiceAfter having 2 different recommendations from friends for The Company, I decided to give them a go. They were efficient and careful with my belongings and were happy to take apart my bed and put it back together as part of the moving process. No messing about! I wouldn't hesitate to use The Company again.
- Removalist ServiceI had to move in two parts and the details and dates of the move changed a number of times due to situations out of my control. Georgette from The Company was able to accommodate these changes and two moves without fuss. The two moving teams who turned up were both really great, easy to get along with, helpful and thoughtful. It made what could have been a stressful situation less so.
- Removalist ServiceDaniel from The Company is a small operator with a great business model based on personal service.
He is trustworthy and really does a thoughtful and thorough job. You are dealing with the boss.
He shifted us from the 18th floor of a Melbourne apartment block to a 2 story house in Newcastle NSW.
Each location had its own unique difficulties. Daniel overcame these quickly and delivered our items intact and also ensured they were delivered safely and put in a good position for immediate unpack and use.
I thoroughly recommend The Company if you are looking for a professional service at a reasonable price.
- Removalist ServiceOn time. 4 bedroom house to town house. Short distance. Very happy customer, would highly recommend. No damage to my furniture.
- Removalist ServiceI moved house on Thursday 10th Aug 17 and it was seamless from start to finish.
From the time i booked the move ( i was on a tight schedule due to circumstances ) turned up at 7am ( as booked ) they got stuck in and got the truck loaded in quick time. On arrival at my new address the same happened in unloading.
The Company took care of all my possessions and there was no damage scratches Nothing!
Nothing was to much trouble for these guys. I gave them a 5 Star rating!!
- Removalist ServiceRay & Abdul moved half my 3 bedroom townhouse from Kellyville to my mum's at Prospect 20 mins away. They did a great job, very professional, respectful, and careful. I thought they did such a great job I booked them again for a week later to move the other half of my house to Drummoyne. More fragile & expensive furniture was cling wrapped for protection and they handled with care. Great job again. I would recommend The Company to my friends and family.
