What is Melbourne to Hobart 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.

Mitchell was great to deal with. Super efficient and great with communication.
Amazing service! I was so stressed trying to book something 2 days before Christmas but the Muval team made it so much easier than I had expected. Amazing customer service, highly recommended.
Muval were responsive and recommended a mover that fit into our timeframe and budget. Very happy with the service.
Carina went above and beyond to help us on a recent move would highly recommend using.

Great service. Went with the second cheapest quote they provided (Total moving solution) which did a great job.

Muval were great in arranging my move from Sydney to the Gold Coast. Very efficient, on time and most importantly all furniture arrived safely and was well looked after. Nothing to complain about! Highly recommended.
Dealt with a service rep named Jacob and he was fantastic. I was super busy organising everything else to do with the move and he kept following up to make sure I was all good and to book in the move with who they recommended. Will use them...

Kelvin was extremely polite, professional and helpful. He's an asset to the Muval team and I look forward to working with him in the future.
Very efficient website and great customer service. Relatively cheap compared to other places.
The team were helpful, had great communication and were patient and adapted with the changes of my move plans. Saved me a lot of time and work with having to source removalists myself.
Needed a quick move and to compare different companies. Muval gave me lots of options for available movers and their prices. Was easily booked in and the move happened as planned. I saved over $2000 from a quote another company gave me when...
Such a good experience! After I rang, they honoured an original quote from a month prior and found another removalist to assist with my budget, meaning I saved nearly $700.
Bree organised a removalist for my move. She was very helpful, fast and responsive. Would highly recommend!!
Mitchell and the boys who moved our things have done a good job.
Julius from Muval has been professional, prompt and quick with providing me with information during the booking stage of the move. He has gone above and beyond in making sure the process was seamless for me. Thank you, Julius.

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

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
If you change your list of items or space required a week before your move, we can usually adjust the price accordingly. In some circumstances this won’t be possible depending on the booking volume and amount of change and notice provided.
The final payment must be paid five days before the nominated pickup date.
Muval is a booking platform. We find reliable moving companies at a competitive rate. We help companies fill their space with customers that are happy to fit in with the truck schedule. It is called a shared load option.
Preferably No, It is better to use a fitted sheet on each side of your mattresses to enclose.
When looking at your kitchen, the industry standard is one book carton to each cupboard door.
