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.

I recently used Muval for a house move, the booking process was easy, stress free and without fault... The removalists were extremely effective, on time and careful....
Amazing service, Jess Prior was extremely helpful and made the whole process so easy and stress free. Would highly recommend the Muval team!
Lauren and Benji at Muval were excellent. They ensured my interstate move happened without an issue.
When our pre booked movers cancelled hours before the scheduled movement, Muval came to our rescue. Leroy was quick to help us find a suitable team to assist us in our movement! Definitely a life saver and highly recommended!
Shaz has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. All my questions answered promptly and in a friendly, polite manner. Muval has been such a time saver, Sharon did all the phoning around and got us a really competitive quote. Our transfer ha...

THANK YOU MUVAL They really worked hard to assist when another moving company (just a third-party contracting platform that arrange delivery drivers) failed to arrive for an entire day without responding to ongoing requests and calls. Muval...
100% would recommend. Stress and hassle free, they were helpful and friendly. They actually cared and took the time to do the job right. Thanks so much.
Elly was very easy to talk to and was very helpful in arranging the right removalists for us. Great service.
I had a great experience with Sharon from Moval. Although we didnt 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.
Although we didn't end up moving, we had organised quotes with Anthony. He was very helpful and respectful of our needs. Highly recommended.
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.
I have used this company a few times and cant recommend them enough. Especially LJ who has assisted me with my last few moves. She is always super helpful and professional. They always seem to find great removalists at competitive rates.
I worked with Julius by phone and it was a very good experience. He was patient, understanding and helpful.
Marvin was very helpful with helping us to book in our move :)
Made the whole moving house experience much easier and everything went as per plan. Very responsive and quick to address any questions. Will use Muval again.
I got a trouble with one of awful removalist not on time pick up and hard to contact with them However Muval and Denielle very helpful for me sort of my situations. Thanks to Muval Thanks to Denielle.

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 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.
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.

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.
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.
When looking at your kitchen, the industry standard is one book carton to each cupboard door.
The packing service is not included in our standard pricing. Please check with our support team to get a quotation.
