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.

We only work with experienced and reputable moving companies and its in their best interests to pack accurately in the trucks for two main reasons:

It maximizes the space available.
A tight well-loaded vehicle ensures less movement and motion on the road/rail.

It depends on your volume and which carrier we are using for your move. Some companies can delay the delivery by a day for an extra fee, but others may not be able to if the truck is only passing by your address and must continue driving.

Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.

The packing service is not included in our standard pricing. Please check with our support team to get a quotation.

The earlier you book your move the more confident you can be that the date you wish to move will be available. However, the time in advance that you should book is heavily dependent on the time of year. Between October and March we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance of when you want to move. From March - September you can leave it a little later, booking 2-3 weeks out.

It is preferred if you or your representative to be present at the pickup and drop off.

Preferably No, It is better to use a fitted sheet on each side of your mattresses to enclose.

Depending on the destination and the state you are going to. Standard delivery times vary from one day to 21 days.
