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.
— Rebecca Smith
We used Muval to find the movers for our last move and I couldn't recommend them more. The whole process of finding a mover based on my needs was seamless on their platform and the customer service provided by Bree was fantastic!
The movers arrived on-time, they were extremely professional, polite, helpful, and took very good care to make sure that my property was not damaged loading, and unloading the truck and used sufficient strapping and blankets that they provi...
Are from Muval was so helpful. Has made the move not so stressful now. If I could I would give her 10 stars ?? ??
Booking was easy and fast. I received a call to confirm the details and was provided a quote and confirmation ASAP. Would recommend :)
Jay helped me with my Muval booking. The whole process was simple and easy from listing my items to booking dates and organising payment. I would happily recommend Muval for your next move and hopefully it will be Jay who assists you.
Vion provided a good service and addressed all my concerns effectively. Hoping for the final move to go well!
Moving Hobart to QLD. So far the process has been super smooth! Jay has been super helpful and answered all my questions and concerns. Moving states can be expensive and stressful but Jay helped put my mind at ease! Thank you!
Great experience. Kelvin was awesome helping us out with the move.

Frequently asked questions
Learn from the moving experts. Can't find an answer? Call us on: 1300 168 825
The earlier you book your move the more confident you can be that the date you wish to move will be available. However, the time in advance that you should book is heavily dependent on the time of year. Between October and March we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance of when you want to move. From March - September you can leave it a little later, booking 2-3 weeks out.
The first thing to do once you’ve moved into your new home is to check the house. Check out Chapter 4 of our moving house guide for a detailed outline of what to do after you move.
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.

Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
A cubic metre is 1m x 1m x 1m. A full-sized container size is 38m3.
Truck sizes vary from 20m3 to 70m3 and sometimes 100m3.
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.
Dismantling and assembling the furniture are not included in our standard pricing but can easily be added to your moving service, just ask.
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.
