What is Adelaide to Canberra 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.

Our pick up and delivery from Perth to Adelaide went well without any issues. They were very prompt and communication was great!
— Andrea Mead
We had a good experience with Muval. Easy processes and fast response. Great communication throughout the process
I had a smooth and easy moving experience thanks to Bree (Muval) and Michael and his team (Bet removilists) Will not hesitate to book again and have recommended to family and friends.
What mainly appreciated was not feeling pressured to book
Muval were fantastic to work with. They are very responsive and actually care for your situation. Would highly recommend using them to help you find the right removalist for you.
Carina was fabulous, explained everything in detail and when she saw both my partner and I reached out for a quote she used details from both of our requests and got us a great dea
Great service. Went with the second cheapest quote they provided (Total moving solution) which did a great job.
Angelo was very helpful and made the process easy. Bruce
Sharon was extremely helpful and friendly. She was quick with getting back to us and really took our needs into consideration. Although we didnt end up using a removalist in the end, Sharon was wonderful and I would highly recommend using M...

Julius was very helpful, followed up regularly Was polite and respectful

I could not recommend Sharon from Muval enough for organising a removalist. Sharon went above and beyond to get us a great price and was so easy to communicate with. She did not mess around and was able to organise everything for me so quic...
The consultant provided clear communication and answered all of my questions with patience.
Very happy with our experience with muval. Very easy to communicate with and got us the best deal by far. Would use again
Karina is one of the best contact agent on phone Ive ever seen. So nice, kind and helpful about all my questions and concerns. Trusted company no hesitate to find them again in future!!
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!
I didnt end up using Muval due to some specific idiosyncratic needs that I required but I did want to call out the great service I got from Anthony. He was straightforward, honest about what Muval could cater for and was knowledgeable. Add ...
Karla liaised with me for a couple of months regarding a somewhat complex move from Vic to Alice Springs NT. She made things so much less stressful by explaining options my thoroughly, and accommodated a few changes to my move dates/volume ...
Grace did my booking she is friendly patience and efficient in her work. Definitely I will use Muval again and highly recommend to my family and friends.
Alana from Muval helped source quotes for an interstate move. She was efficient, polite and saved so much time compared to if I had tried myself. Would recommend to others.
Mitchell has been so helpful and friendly considering my circumstances and was very prompt in replying to me and getting this sorted! I would highly recommend him if you need any help with moving and I will be using the service again. Thank...

If you have booked the shared truck option, then yes. If you have booked a premium option, then you will not be sharing the truck.
The best way to ensure a successful move day is to be prepared. One way to do this is to notify your removalist about any very heavy or awkward-to-move items before move day. It can never hurt to double-check with them that they understand that you have these items, even if you have also submitted an inventory list. These sorts of items include:
- Grand / Baby grand piano
- Pizza oven
- Concrete furniture
- Pool / snooker tables (particularly slate)
- Many pot plants / large pot plants
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.
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.
All furniture items will be wrapped in heavy removalist quilted padding to best protect your furniture; Some removalists will also use shrink wrap as well.
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.
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.
