What is 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.

Muval helped me remember everything that need doing with the move and helped me organize everything. They were very professional and helped take the stress out of moving.
— Rebecca Smith
The movers i booked through Muval were so easy to work with. I would recommend using Condran&Co Couriers for your next move in the Hunter.
I was in a hurry to move and booked with Muval, fully expecting them to be unable to find movers for the next day. I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong, and was blown away by the quality of service and speed of response (shout out ...
Alvin was very polite and helpful! I rang them on Monday morning and they were able to meet my required date for moving on the following Saturday.
Table was delivered from Sydney to Brisbane in a timely manner. Removalists took care to ensure item was delivered safely.
Sharon was so helpful in providing me with all the information relevant to my upcoming move. I got a great deal and it was a simple stress free process!
First time using Muval and my experience was fantastic. I dealt with Lachlan who was super helpful and kept in touch throughout the entire process. Made my move interstate completely stress free. Will definitely be using Muval again!
I recently used Muval for my move, and I couldnt be happier with the service! From the first phone call to the final delivery, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly efficient. They handled all of my belongings with great care,...
The help that Shaz gave me was awesome. She was a massive help & answered all my questions
.If you need the headache taken out of moving, use Sharon. If you need knowledgeable service, use Sharon. If you like to have a conversation where you are listened to with advice given % use Sharon.
Jade was so nice and genuine. Helped me and my husband Lloyd move with ease and was always prompt with her responses. Honestly deserves a raise! Will definitely use muval again and again!
Anthony from Muval was super polite and helpful, I would highly recommend this service for initial consultation around options for interstate removalist options.
I recently hired this company for 2 moves in just 5 weeks one interstate and the other local. As someone who has never undertaken a move like this on my own, I was initially apprehensive and very nervous. However, I can't express enough how...
Jess was amazing. A great help, very professional and proactive.
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
Jamahl from Muval was extremely helpful and responsive to my request. He helped organise everything to work around my schedule and was thoughtful about my individual circumstances. Highly recommend Muval.
Shaz at Muval was excellent at communicating and finding the best price. Fast and easy, thankyou Shaz!
Had a chat with Karla regarding my move to Melb from Syd. She was really nice in explaining hows everything is going to be done. She was professional and easy to deal with. Would recommend Karla to my mates.
Amazing service. Super friendly staff who make you feel like you are the top priority. The ask you plenty of questions to make sure they provide the perfect service for your move and offer a great range of insurances.
Grace was amazing in organising our move! The guys that helped us move were extremely cautious in how they secured and packed everything! Would highly recommend them!
Thank you Grant, you have been extremely helpful and understanding going back and forth to my constant questions. It has been an easier process with you looking after me. Couldn't recommend your services enough.

Frequently asked questions

No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.
Yes, absolutely. Please mention this at the time of booking, as it may make a difference to the provider we match you with.
Some companies will have storage at the destination and some at the pickup. Some even include complimentary storage!
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.
Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
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.
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.
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.
