What is Melbourne to Darwin 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 a great service. Jay was really knowledgeable and the process was very smooth.
Very good removalist. Everything went to plan. Removalist followed the agreed dates and times. Good price and all goods were delivered without a scratch. Seamless to book. Very good service. Thank you
Great service, really friendly and helpful :) Muval helped us find removalists in a hurry which took our lot of stress out of our moving day! Thanks so much!!
Tyson from Muval was great to deal with. He was knowledgeable, prompt in his responses, and always very friendly to speak with. Thanks for your help, Tyson!
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.
Seriously, moving and divorce the two most stressful experiences one can go through! Too bad Shaz at Muval doesn't do marriage counselling as well because she's made our upcoming move from Qld to Tas an absolute breeze. Nothing was too much...
I had a great experience with Sharon from Moval. Although we didn't end up booking through them for an unrelated reason, she worked really to get us an affordable and accurate quote with a very well reviewed removalist.
Shaz was very very helpful in organising our move despite all of our changes throughout the process (sorry Shaz). Looking forward to a low stress move on the day. Thank you!
Shaun was really responsive and helpful to my endless enquiries. He even helped to get a discounted rate for me which Im really grateful for. Highly recommended!
Great service. It's been done sufficiently. Really recommend.
Incredible service! It has taken the stress out of things for me.
Thanks Mitchell at Muval for organizing my removalists after another had cancelled on me at the last minute! Totally professional, quick & responsive. Would recommend to anyone planning their move!
If you need to move definitely try these guys first. Made the job so much easier. They were helpful and professional and the lady Melody that looked after us was very efficient and friendly.
I dealt with Hailey and I must say, interactions and communication has been second to none. Hailey has given AMAZING customer service. The quotes received have been great value so far too.

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.
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.
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.
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
Yes, it can, as long as you notify us before booking your move.
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
A cubic metre is 1m x 1m x 1m. A full-sized container size is 38m3.
Truck sizes vary from 20m3 to 70m3 and sometimes 100m3.
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.
