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.

Muval helped me remember everything that need doing with the move and helped me organize everything. They were very professional and helped take the stress out of moving.

Fantastic customer service making moving easier no stress. Thank you Angelo!
I spoke with Angelo who helped with organising my move. Extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Punctual and diligent. Loaded my stuff from a storage unit and delivered it safely interstate. Have used before and would definitely use again! A+++++
Easy and quick process very responsive to specific needs.
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.

Jamahl was absolutely fantastic. Communication was clear and informative, he was always available to talk when I called and was very helpful right up until our actual moving day. Our scheduled removalist fell through 24 hours before the mov...
Great experience booking using the website. Jay was very helpful in the process.
Used a few times now, love the personal approach and making sure we are looked after.
I was very happy with Muval and would not hesitate to recommend their services. We were very anxious about moving to another state and the whole process was quite overwhelming, but each time I had to contact Muval with any questions, the st...
Mitchell was super helpful in assisting with the best service, showed great care and followed up. Thank you Mitchell! You are the best!
Kelvin was very helpful in my move. I had little time to get everything done and he was very efficient and made the move smooth and easy.

We had a good experience with Muval. Easy processes and fast response. Great communication throughout the process
Was put in contact with Muval from our real estate as part of moving house. Muval contacted me promptly, took details, and recommended a removalist. They then confirmed with the removalist date and time. They handled everything efficiently ...
Alvin was very helpful, efficient and friendly. Thanks for all of your help in booking our move.
I spoke with Kelvin and he was extremely friendly, helpful and diligent in organising my move on short notice! It took the stress away!
Muval were fantastic to work with. They are very responsive and actually care for your situation. Would highly recommend using them to help you find the right removalist for you.
It was great to work with Mitchell on a moving job to a new house, he was quite responsive and made our experience to move seamless. Thanks Mitchell.
The two gentlemen took very good care of our belongings and furniture. Well wrapped and even extra care towards lifting everything as to not scratch the floor. Very impressed and will definitely be using Muval again in future :) Thank you....
Frequently asked questions
Learn from the moving experts. Can't find an answer? Call us on: 1300 168 825
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.
If your booking is a premium service, the company will be able to provide exact timing. If your booking is a shared option, then your schedule will be a window between two to seven hours on the move day.
No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.
The cost for your local move will depend on how long your move takes. Some dishonest moving companies quote very cheap hourly or half-hourly rates to get your job, and then work slowly on the day or surprise you with additional charges in order to make more money.
Unless they are running a limited special offer, most honest removal companies need to charge at least $45 per half hour or more in order to pay their staff (two people usually come to load and unload the truck for you), pay their insurances, and make sure their trucks are serviced regularly.
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.
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.
If you have the original TV box, please use it. You can also purchase TV storage/removal boxes from storage centres. If you don’t have a box and can’t source one, the removalist will use heavy-duty blankets to protect the TV.
Dismantling and assembling the furniture are not included in our standard pricing but can easily be added to your moving service, just ask.
