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.

Fantastic service, always go above and beyond and more than happy to answer questions. I’ll never use another company as I know 100% I get the best price and best service with Muval. I highly recommend for anybody looking at moving interstate to contact these guys, I’ve used them twice.

I have had two quotes from Muval, both times I spoke with Rhea. The first one I couldn't take, but I have recently accepted a quote and I have to say that Rhea is amazing. She is very efficient, personable and always accommodating. I would ...

This service is excellent, so easy to use and book and Angelo has been so helpful. I highly recommend Muval.
Very helpful phone service from Alvin. He understood a complex move and was very attentive. I didn’t go with Muval in the end though because the specialist move service charged higher for higher rated movers, and I wasn’t convinced that...

We started dealing with Mitchell about 6 weeks before our move. The service he provided was fantastic together with the removalists, ASL Removals. Mitchell also followed up on the evening of our move to ensure it all went well. 10/10 would ...
Lauren and Benji at Muval we’re excellent. They ensured my interstate move happened without an issue.

Mitchell did a great job and co-ordinated things well with our move Job well done
The removalist recommended to us by muval was awesome. They made the day of removal fun. Muval made the process very easy and convenient and the price we paid in the end was much less than we’d expected.
Julius was super helpful - he gave me a great quote, answered all my questions and I was happy to proceed with the booking over the phone. Very happy, thank you
Muval offered a range of comparitive quotes which assisted in my decision-making. Mel in sales & service was very helpful in resolving an issue for us which made my experience with Muval a great one.

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.
