What is Melbourne to Canberra 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.

Bree from Muval was awesome, had multiple touch points with her arranging a last minute move within 24-48 hours. Without her help I wouldn't have been able to get it done. Cheers, Jack
Liz at Moval was a great help, made moving a breeze, easy and affordable - thanks Liz!
Sharon was really professional, she went above and beyond to make my move possible. She provided updates regularly and was always friendly.
Well advised as to the correct truck size by Xpress Pty Ltd. The two young movers were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Muval was excellent with service and assistance.
Carina assisted me nicely and answered all of my questions
Spoke to Marty from Muval to organise a quote from Sydney to Naracoorte. He was so helpful and informative. The quote came in well under anyone else to boot! Thoroughly recomended.
The boys were so helpful they helped me set up my storage space and saved me hours of work. They helped me late in the evening as well and they were under no obligation to do that. I cant recommend them highly enough. We will be using them ...

This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
When quoting on your job, we provide the name and reviews of the company that matches your inquiry. Although we vet every company on our system, we encourage you to do your own due dilligence on the company you choose.
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.
Preferably No, It is better to use a fitted sheet on each side of your mattresses to enclose.
If you need to change the delivery or pick up date, please advise the removalist as early as possible. They can sometimes accommodate changes and reschedule but this has a few variables.
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.
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 first thing to do once you’ve moved into your new home is to check the house. Check out Chapter 4 of our moving house guide for a detailed outline of what to do after you move.
