What is Cairns to Sydney 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.

The move was quite a bit cheaper than I thought, thanks to the speedy movers who handled the furniture with care. Also big kudos to Leroy for arranging the move so quickly and liaising with the movers!
Julius was great to talk to and helped me understand all the ins and outs of the Muval process for my interstate move.
Service was great to use and so easy. Mitchell was amazing to deal with, very patient and attentive to getting the best outcome. Definitely recommend.
It was my second time using Muval service and it was an easy, quick and efficient as I remember. Highly recommended!!
Dion was extremely helpful in every possible way with helping me find a removalist. Answered all my questions via SMS promptly. Would definitely recommend using Muval.

Alvin was amazing at organising our move! Great communication and organisation, made it very easy, Thank you so much
I worked with Julius by phone and it was a very good experience. He was patient, understanding and helpful.

Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
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.
Yes, all of our prices are GST inclusive.
This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
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
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 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.
