What is Cairns 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.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience I had when getting a quote from Muval for my removal needs. The process was incredibly smooth and convenient. Their customer service was exceptional, taking the time to understand my requirements and providing me with a comprehensive and transparent quote.

Dan was helpful and patient, looking into an end of year move that was brought forward quite quickly. Thanks!
Sharon from Muval helped every step of the way from getting the cheapest possible quote to ensuring everything was included. She gave a personal touch and was very understanding of the emotional stresses with moving.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a removalist however Anthony’s communication was excellent. Constant updates through the entire process highly recommendable
We had a lot of problems that were outside either of our control and Muval went out of their way to try and find a solution. Even though the job had to be postponed they were quick to refund my deposit - definitely using them next time I ha...
I only dealt with Anthony & he was exceptional. He followed up on all my queries & was always extremely polite. I didn’t use Muval to move Interstate as I couldn’t be in Melbourne to accept delivery at the time my items arrived. I would...
They arranged removalists to cart my stuff from Sydney to the Central Coast. The whole process was quick and efficient and good value for money.
Very pleased with the professional service from Muval who hired Arega to send 10m3 for us to NSW. Thanks Shaz!
Great help and good information, fantastic customer service. I’d recommend using it again to find a good removal company
Melody was amazing. Quote organised and booked in no time at all. Kept me up to date in relation to pick up and delivery. Very pleased with the service she provided.
Excellent service by Ken. He keeps us informed with progress and when we needed a second move he responded quickly.
Bree has been amazing during the quoting booking process. Nothing was too much trouble and we changed iur minds quite a few times. Highly recommended.
Rhea was very helpful and patient with my enquiry and helped me book. Excellent customer service, very responsive with call backs and helped make the whole experience easy to manage

Made everything easy when there seemed to be movers in short supply. Bree was great finding a service and The boys were great. And timely too - couldn't be happier.
Thank you to Angelo who seamlessly organised our movers for our upcoming move!
Liz was fantastic in helping me source an appropriate moving company. Really easy; great communication & effective in making my move as simple as possible. Thanks alot liz. :)
The most thorough, considerate and professional movers I spoke to. I ended up going with a cheaper option who didn’t show up and were very hard to deal with so I recommend spending the extra money and going with these guys
Dion was wonderful, like making sure I understood every bit of the quote and wasn't pushy to lock in my booking. A delight to speak to. Thanks heaps!

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.
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.
If you cancel within 48 hours of your booking (if your move is more than 5 days away) or give three weeks’ notice before your pick up date, you will get a full refund of your deposit.
The final payment must be paid five days before the nominated pickup date.
No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.
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.

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.
