What is Brisbane 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.

The booking process was fast and transparent. We got many quality removalist groups to choose. All costs were well illustrated and the service quality is great as advertised. We would recommend using their service particularly if you are ne...
Tanya couldnt have made this move smoother! Even when I was time poor and stressed she found a way to make it smooth and calm! And everything on the moving day went smooth and exactly how she said it would. Will definitely be calling her ne...
We have worked with Jamahl at Muval twice now - hes excellent. So helpful and efficient, and has got us a great price (at a busy time of year) both times. Highly recommend!
Mitchell was very responsive and helpful during the booking process. Consistently followed up and made sure we were set. Muval in general is a great place to start when planning a move. Weve used them twice now.
I cannot recommend Muval highly enough. I submitted the on-line form and ticked a couple of possible removalists and within a short space of time had Alec call me and offer to help. Well he certainly helped. He negotiated directly with the ...
Sharon, has been extremely helpful. First time I have done an interstate move with a company I didn't know. Sharon has been very calming and helped sort out what I needed even when I was stressed and couldn't work out how to put the invento...
Anthony went above and beyond to help me find a removalist, he even organised a few quotes from other places to find me the best deal. 100% would recommend to anyone

Thanks for the great service. We moved from Brisbane to Melbourne muval did a great job, it was stress free and very smooth move. Thanks
Sharon was very helpful in finding a last minute removalist that suited the days we needed to get furniture interstate. She also found the best price for us. Definitely recommend Muval!
Incredible service! It has taken the stress out of things for me.
Muval made what would otherwise have been a stressful, difficult process to organise an interstate move so much easier. Response from the company is quick, communication is clear, and I felt informed along the way, right up until choosing m...
Professional, personal and excellent communication. Prompt and efficient service.
Fantastic service! Really helpful with my move. Staff were polite, professional and organised and saved me heaps of time and money.
Arrived early, got straight to it and didnt take a break until the job was done. Gary and Dean were awesome and Id recommend to anyone.
10/10 Service from Karla. Took a load off my chest with going above and beyond to get a quote, and even check if one of the options moved vehicles.
Thank you to Mitchell for helping us organise our move from 2 separate houses into the one. It was stress free and so so convenient. Highly recommend using Muval
The best removal service. I gave Adrian at Muval a tricky, time restrictive interstate removal in covid that no one could do. He solved it in 15minutes, at a far cheaper price, with a fabulous attitude. Adrian 10 Stars!!!
Carina was very helpful and was able to guide me through the process easily and efficiently. And shes very patient with any changes required.

Each company has differing policies about notification before the pickup and delivery. Some companies can provide a time window on booking, others provide this the day before, while others will provide notice within an hour of their arrival.
Depending on the destination and the state you are going to. Standard delivery times vary from one day to 21 days.
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.
Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
We encourage bookings ASAP, and this will hold the price, reserve the space, and give you peace of mind. This can also mean you avoid any future price rise.
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 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.
When looking at your kitchen, the industry standard is one book carton to each cupboard door.
