What is Melbourne to Port Macquarie 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.

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.
— Craig Worsley-Grace
Move went well. Process was all pretty simple and reasonably priced.
I was very happy with the service provided by Muval, they helped ensure my move went smoothly and stress-free.
Grace did my booking she is friendly patience and efficient in her work. Definitely I will use Muval again and highly recommend to my family and friends.
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.
Muval is fantastic to identify a suitable removalist. Moving is a hugely stressful time and moving heavy furniture in difficult conditions is a job for professionals. North removals and Muval were great to deal with and made the experience ...
I'm yet to move yet, but I found the booking experience with Jen very professional and clear.
Jay helped organize my daughter's household furniture removal with brilliant organizational skill. Many and much thanks.
Great customer service from Kelvin, very friendly & ready to assist with any queries with prompt follow up.
The consultant provided clear communication and answered all of my questions with patience.
The move was quite a bit cheaper than I thought, thanks to the speedy movers who handled the furniture with care. Also big kudos to Leroy for arranging the move so quickly and liaising with the movers!
Julius was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to assist me! He is very proactive as well as being super efficient with excellent communication!! I would 100% recommend Muval & of course, the lovely Julius - he made the experienc...
I got a great support from Lauren. It all went smooth, including the volume assessment which turned out being very accurately estimated. Thank Lauren and Muval !
Jamal provided excellent customer service with my removalist needs. He was able to take the hard work out of my schedule and find the best solution for my move to Melbourne, this took less than 20 minutes. I also requested vehicle transport...
Good service, used in 2025 and again in 2026 with superstar removalist, thank you great job !! ??
Quote process was very simple. Quote gave good level of detail of the service being offered, parking requirements for truck, ETA at destination etc. and was very competitive. Definitely my first port of call next time we move.
Shaz was very very helpful in organising another move for us with extremely short notice, she was “on it “ as soon as I texted her even though it was after hours, and our move was confirmed the very next day ! Highly recommend her servi...
i could not speak more highly of Sharon. she went above and beyond, i couldn’t have asked for anything else.
JM was amazing to deal with, his service was incredible. This is the second time he’s helped me move and every time he’s and led the case with ease and professionalism.
Great company to organise a safe and reliable move we have had bad experiences in the past this one was no issue continued contact good price and would recommend everything arrived and nothing damaged ??
Brilliant efficient service from Lauren. Made the move a lot easier. Highly recommended! Nick from Adelaide

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.

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 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.
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.
Yes, all of our prices are GST inclusive.
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
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.
