What is Sydney to Darwin 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.

Good guidance from Muval, and the packers were professional
JAY was very helpful with organizing our chosen removalists. Very happy with his efforts.
Used a few times now, love the personal approach and making sure we are looked after.
Hard to say if it was the cheapest option out there, but in a time crunch, they pulled through and made the moving process relatively painless. The Muval team proved to be very responsive and professional. I would absolutely consider using ...
Alvin was very polite and helpful! I rang them on Monday morning and they were able to meet my required date for moving on the following Saturday.
Ive used Muval several times: its a good service. They dont do the move as such but coordinate the logistics. Bear in mind theres quite a number of moving parts with moving and each time Its been as painless and cost efficient as it can be....

James and Cath at Muval were extremely professional in sourcing a removalist for us. Communication was easy and we were delighted with the whole experience.
Sensational service from Bree in organising everything in such a short time. Highly recommended!
The workers did a wonderful job very happy with their service
I called a long list of removal companies to quote on a job at a reasonable rate. I was left feeling completely frustrated. I then called Muval who made a huge effort to come up with a viable solution. They provided several options, which s...
I have booked a move through Jay who communicates well and explains the process, which helps to reduce the stress of moving.
Sharon was fantastic, very understanding .Was very efficient in getting quotes that were very reasonably priced. She was also great at reducing the stress associated with trying to get removalists. Great person and service
Their representative Sharon is outstanding after our booked removalist from another company did not turn up Sharon organised everything for us at a very competitive price & great time frame her customer service is amazing
Vion provided a good service and addressed all my concerns effectively. Hoping for the final move to go well!
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 wed expected.
Shaz was awesome, quick service, great quote made my life less stressful so thank you
Great experience! Best price and timely response! Great customer service aswell.
Liz at Muval was absolutely amazing. I felt bad that she even responded to me on her day off. She took my move very seriously, and was very helpful. There was a miscommunication with the mover about some fees, and by simply texting with her...

Yes, all of our prices are GST inclusive.

Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.
Dismantling and assembling the furniture are not included in our standard pricing but can easily be added to your moving service, just ask.
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.
If you cancel within 48 hours of your booking (if your move is more than 5 days away) or give three weeks’ notice before your pick up date, you will get a full refund of your deposit.
When quoting on your job, we provide the name and reviews of the company that matches your inquiry. Although we vet every company on our system, we encourage you to do your own due dilligence on the company you choose.
