What is a self-pack container?
Muval removalist bookings by default come with professional loading and unloading of the truck / container by qualified removalists. With self-pack container bookings, you take control of loading and unloading the container yourself; we'll just manage the logistics of moving the container from your pickup location to your delivery point.
Since you're taking control of loading and unloading the container, you will save money relative to a fully-managed removalist service.

How self-pack containers work
You pick it
Choose the container size you need. Either 20ft or 40ft. 20ft containers are approx 6.1m L x 2.5m W x 2.9m H with internal capacity of 37m3. 40ft containers are approx 12.2m L x 2.5m W x 2.9m H with internal capacity of 76m3.
Choose whether you are renting the container for the relocation or purchasing to keep after the relocation (new or used options available).
20ft
40ft
For smaller moves, or for inner-city areas where a full container can't fit, you can also book a Taxibox through Muval which measures 2.4m long, 1.5m wide and 2.2m high externally and has a rough internal capacity of 8m3.
We deliver it
Your preferred container will be delivered on a tilt tray or side loading truck to your residential/commercial address. Make sure you have a suitable location and sufficient space for the placement of the container. We can deliver these units to each capital city throughout Australia (regional areas by request).
You load it
We’ll provide you with some tips on how to pack the container safely and recommend using industry quality materials to secure and restrain your items as you pack the container in preparation for transit.
Once all packed, you just need to take photographs of the packed container and send them to us so that we can determine the total volume of furniture and items being moved and then you lock the container with your own padlock.
We move it
Once packed, we will collect and deliver your container locally, or you have the option to move the container interstate (metro areas) throughout Australia (regional locations by request). We work on 14-day transit times from the time the container is collected to delivered. These times can vary depending on the locations and time of year.
Our team will keep you informed so you're well prepared for the delivery timing. Make sure you arrange insurance for your goods in case they are damaged in transit as this is not included by default.
You unload it
Your locked container arrives to your new address for unloading. Overall timings are based around 3 days to load, 14 days to deliver, 3 days to unload.

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.

Glad to have Jay from moval assisting me with my move.
Great experience. We were assigned a company name Confidence Pro Movers. The removers were amazing. Thanks so much.
Kelvin from Muval was really helpful in helping find the best removalists for me. Given I was moving from one 3rd floor apartment to another, he found a small removalist who didn't charge stair fees - saving me hundreds of dollars (and I ne...
Almost too easy! Fast response time, super friendly staff member (Karina i think was her name) who was very detailed and honest/realistic with times and prices and walked me through the whole process. I'm feeling really confident in the ser...
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!
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...
Extremely easy and smooth process, especially given the nature of my enquiry. Adrian showed a lot of understanding and patience and was great with clarifying and being transparent with terms of the request
It was agreat experience. The lady at Muval connected us to a removalist and everything went well with moving.

Bree did a fabulous job arranging my recent move at very short notice. It all went smoothly and took the stress out of a what was a challenging situation. Thanks a million
Amazing from start to finish. I got an early bird special that was thousands under what other companies were charging. The contracted company were often poor at communication, but Shaz from Muval always jumped straight to action to assist a...
Dion was amazing and very prompt and clear with his response. Able to easily understand my questions and make me feel assured. Thankyou Dion, I appreciate it.
Rhea was very easy to deal with and made sure she was able to assist me with booking my move.
I had the pleasure of working with Kelvin from Muval, and I must say his service was outstanding. From the very beginning, Kelvin was extremely professional, patient, and attentive to detail. He took the time to gather all the necessary inf...
Alvin is really helpful, and would recommend Muval. Thank you
