What is Townsville to 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.

Carina was friendly, understanding and supportive for my situation. A smooth booking experience and I hope the labour portion turns out the same.

Jade is brilliant catering to all my needs and insured I was happy and take care of!
Good experience, movers were efficient and practical
A couple of weeks ago the two Raphs at Prime helped me move to my new place. They said they’d make me happy and they weren’t wrong. They took extra special care of me and did a quick efficient job. I’d recommend to anyone.
Our pick up and delivery from Perth to Adelaide went well without any issues. They were very prompt and communication was great!
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.
The service of Muval was excellent. Specially the customer service provided by Mr Vince was top class.
I am currently using Muval services and my Muval concierge JM has been very professional and helpful so far. I will be doing another review once my moving is completed.

This can be organised but will incur an extra charge.
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.
