What is Canberra to Townsville 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.

Muval was easy to book. Further, Carina followed up with the move booking ensuring it was specific to the time and day preferred. She was very helpful. Thankyou so much.
Muval found me an excellent removalist. Given my last three were dreadful, I wasn't expecting any pleasant surprises. I guess because Muval can offer repeat business for the removalist companies, those companies are more likely to put in th...
The most thorough, considerate and professional movers I spoke to. I ended up going with a cheaper option who didnt show up and were very hard to deal with so I recommend spending the extra money and going with these guys
There was no update from the removalists. Nyasha from Muval followed up with the removalists to make sure that, there is a response and the goods are delivered

I had an excellent experience with Muval and great service from Bree. They were professional, flexible, and well priced. They were punctual and polite and outperformed other removalists who I have used. Thanks!
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!
Awesome service from Jamahl, from my initial contact with muval he was polite, conscientious, professional, responsive and always helpful. He is a credit to the organisation. Thanks for your help mate.

Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.
No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.
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.
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.
This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
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
It is preferable to consider taking out an all-risk policy for your move. We offer two different options of coverage for your move, which include lowering the excess to obtain a lower premium or the ability to cover specific items of your move: https://www.muval.com.au/cover
