What is Melbourne 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.

To be honest, I was a bit dubious to use a facility like this, as I have never used anything like these services before. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the moving process became. They organised to migrate all of my se...
We have worked with Jamahl at Muval twice now - hes excellent. So helpful and efficient, and has got us a great price (at a busy time of year) both times. Highly recommend!
Staff name Kelvin had been extremely helpful,he responded my question quickly and efficiently, It made my removal journey less stressful l. Thankyou
This is an amazing service. Not only did I receive a response really quickly, they called when they said they would and were so helpful and patient. Thank you Liz! You made our move so easy and simple without breaking the budget.
Alvin was very very helpful! I was helping my sister with a last minute move, and he was so accomodating and understanding. Would definitely use them again in the future!
Unfortunately we have had numerous moves over the last 2 years, and always come back to Shaz, she is efficient, professional, kind, polite and just a great egg! Thank you Shaz!
LJ (Muval) was very helpful! She was very consistent in following up and giving options for our move. Excellent service!
Very easy to organise the move, multiple companies available, good communication, reasonable pricing. Julius was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the process and answered all the questions that came up during the process. I...

Great experience booking moving house with Muval. Shout out to Elly who is supporting with helping us to get the best timing for our moving house.

Quick, efficient and delivered above my expectations.

This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
Yes, all of our prices are GST inclusive.
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.
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.

If you have booked the shared truck option, then yes. If you have booked a premium option, then you will not be sharing the truck.
Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.
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
Each company has differing policies about notification before the pickup and delivery. Some companies can provide a time window on booking, others provide this the day before, while others will provide notice within an hour of their arrival.
