Backloading Sydney to Melbourne
Moving interstate in the near future and worried about the cost of removalists? If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to interstate removals, Transcorp Removals & Storage can provide assistance with our backloading services for your house move. Backloading from Sydney to Melbourne involves your furniture being transported in a truck performing another removalist job at the same time, resulting in a lower cost for your interstate relocation.
Backloading can also involve using a truck’s empty space upon its return journey after it’s finished another job. For example, you can utilise the space in a truck that’s driven to Sydney and would otherwise be driving back to Melbourne empty. It’s never been easier to save time and money when moving interstate.
Simplifying Your Move
Having accumulated 35 years of experience, Transcorp Removals & Storage can be trusted to deliver reliable and cost-effective moving solutions to suit your budget. Our removalist professionals take great pride in offering a service that’s second to none. This includes handling all belongings with the greatest care and utilising itemisation to ensure all your items safely get to their intended destination. We’re also a member of the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA), making us a trusted choice.
Backloading Frequently Asked Questions
To help you decide if backloading from Sydney to Melbourne is right for you, we’ve answered the following frequently asked questions about backloads:
What is Backloading?
Backloading is the name given to removals that use a single truck’s journey to carry out one or more removalist jobs at the same time. This can be in the form of a truck carrying items from multiple clients in one journey, or a truck being used for another job on its return trip instead of making the journey back to its original location empty.
Why Opt for Backloads?
There are many reasons why backloads are preferable to hiring interstate removalists. The top reasons include:
They’re a more affordable option, helping to save you money on your interstate relocation that could be better spent on other things. If you don’t have enough items to fill an entire truck, backloads offer an excellent way to save some cash.
They benefit the environment, as backloads either double up with another removalist job to save a truck or use a truck that would otherwise make its return trip empty. This minimises emissions and reduces our environmental footprint.
Are My Belongings Safe?
Yes, all items being backloaded are treated with the greatest care to ensure they arrive at your new destination safe and sound. Our removalists carefully catalogue all belongings and use itemisation to ensure the right items are delivered to the right place, meaning you don’t have to worry about sharing a truck with another interstate backloads job. We also offer insurance for added peace of mind that covers theft and accidental damage. Speak to a Transcorp representative today to request a competitive insurance quote for backloading.
Backloading from Sydney to Melbourne – How Long Does It Take?
Approximate travel times for backloading from Sydney to Melbourne are as follows (business days):
Sydney to Melbourne (Either way) = 1 to 3 days
Sydney to Other Victoria Towns (Either way) = 1 to 7 days
We can also assist with all areas situated in between the locations above. Contact us for more information.
If storage is required, please let us know.
Our backloading transit times may vary depending on the volume of backloads removals we perform. In some cases, we may be able to carry out your move sooner than noted.
If necessary, we can use an exclusive vehicle or removal container for urgent moves in order to reduce transit time.
In areas with difficult access, use of a local removal truck or van might be necessary. Please notify Transcorp of any accessibility issues at the time of booking.

FAQs
Is backloading a cheap way to move from Sydney to Melbourne?
Yes, backloading can be one of the most budget-friendly options for relocating from Sydney to Melbourne. By sharing truck space with other loads, you avoid paying for the full truck, making it a smart choice for saving money.
How much can I save using backloading versus a traditional removalist for my Sydney to Melbourne move?
Savings can vary, but many customers find backloading significantly cheaper, often saving between 20% and 40% compared to hiring a dedicated removalist. The exact amount depends on the size of your load and the flexibility of your moving dates.
What should I consider to ensure I get the cheapest backloading rate for my move from Sydney to Melbourne?
To secure the lowest rates, it’s best to be flexible with your moving dates. Being open to different dates allows the removalist to optimize their truck routes, potentially lowering the overall cost of your move.
"Transcorp Removal and Storage was fantastic to work with! Their team was professional and efficient, handling our transport needs with ease. The customer service was friendly and approachable, making the whole experience great from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
Transcorp expertly uplifted my entire home for a move from the mainland to Tasmania. They packed everything with care, and the uplift team were cheerful and considerate. Transcorp also arranged the move for my cat and dog via their partners, JetPets. For what was undoubtedly a very stressful situation for both of our beloved pets, they arrived with minimal stress and have settled in well to our new home. The unloading team in Tassie were also extremely quick and efficient. All of our belongings arrived perfectly packed and not a single breakage. Transcorp were great value, and their back of house admin team are super responsive and helpful. Special shout out to the Lynnes (both operations Lynne, and accounts team Lynne), at Transcorp, and Mandy at JetPets for being so helpful and answering all of my (many) questions. 10/10 would definitely work with Transcorp again.
Thank you for moving us, always friendly, on time, careful, and fast. Andre, Lucas, Ariely did an amazing job. Highly recommend all 3 of them! Thank you!!
Transcorp Removals did a fantastic job from start to finish. They provided boxes to help me pack, carefully removed and stored my furniture and belongings so I could have my floorboards sanded and polished, and then returned everything in perfect condition. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, and took great care with my things. I’m very happy to recommend their services – great service, great team!
Felipe Brito and Victor Godoy were most professional in completing our relocation. They were kind, courteous and considerate. Highly recommend this team.
Lynne from Transcorp and the removal crew made our interstate move happen so smoothly especially as it happened just post Cyclone Alfred. Adam and his offsiders worked well both at pickup and set down and we were able to move into our new home the same day. Thanks again.
Thank you for the positive experience In a very overwhelming time of juggling furniture to be moved out with a fast settlement. The booking process was very friendly, professional and helpful, as were the removalists on both the picking up and dropping off end interstate. They handled the furniture with care which is always one of the biggest worries with choosing a removalist. The plants were even transported in the right way to not be affected by being in a closed in space. Thanks Transcorp for helping make a stressfull process easier.
The boys that picked up and delivered my furniture were very friendly and professional. I had no problems with anything. All furniture arrived as advised in same condition. Thank you guys. Have no problem in recommending them at all
From the moment I first enquired about my moving interstate communication either by phone or email was prompt and informative. Collection of my furniture and delivery was great with no problems either end. Thank you transcorp will definitely use them again if needed.
My experience was an amazing one Right from booking and moving . My items were more than the truck capacity and within a day It was arranged for a second pick up.All items got all my items in great condition. I give a 10star to all the team members,Liliana such an amazing person ,as well as the removals guys on site. I must say Transcorp team is an amazing team Thank you so much 🤗
Couldn’t have been happier with Transcorp for our interstate move! They were flexible and accomodating as our needs changed and did a fabulous job packing our belongings for us to make the move stress free and easy. Everything arrived in perfect condition and their staff were friendly, courteous, and respectful
Transcorp helped us move from Brisbane to Canberra. It was an unsupervised pickup from a storage unit with delivery to another storage unit. Their call staff were super helpful and the removalists at the end were incredible, great with the furniture and boxes and putting up with us pulling boxes out that we needed as they unloaded. The only reason for 4-star instead of 5 is that our shipment was delayed (with good reason) but we had to follow up and find out where our things were over several phone calls. Would still highly recommend for making interstate moves as easy, professional and well priced as possible!!
From the initial meeting with Paul the Sales Manager to the pick-up guys and delivery, they were wonderful. It was an Interstate move and budget was a definite priority, we didn't have a lot of stuff for people over 60 but other companies quotes, were double or more from Transcorp's quote. I would use Transcorp again in a heartbeat for their efficiency, friendly and professional response to our move.
Furniture was picked up when they advised it would. Shane in Qld couldn't have been more patient trying to contact my son to make the delivery. Thank you Shane for your perseverance.
I recently moved with Transcorp Removals, and I can confidently say they went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress-free. As a wheelchair user, I had specific needs and concerns, but their team was incredibly accommodating, professional, and attentive to every detail.
From start to finish, they handled everything with care, ensuring my belongings were safely transported and placed exactly where I needed them. The team was punctual, friendly, and highly efficient, making what could have been a stressful day so much easier.
I highly recommend Transcorp Removals to anyone looking for a reliable moving company, especially if you have accessibility requirements. Thank you for making my move a seamless and positive experience!
I couldn't rate Transcorp less than 5 stars. From first contact their customer focus really stood out, and it continued through our relocation and to top it off a personal phone call after all was completed just to check in. If you are looking to relocate and need top-class transport and service, don't hesitate to give the team at Transcorp a call.
Our move from Boronia to Parkville was very smooth and stress-free. The movers were very efficient and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure all furnitures and boxes are delivered in good order. We're impressed!
The team arrived on time in Melbourne and, despite it being stinking hot, were lovely and efficient in loading and they wrapped the furniture well. A week later another friendly and efficient team delivered to me in Hobart at the arranged time. Good communication and and the price was 40% of what two other companies had quoted.
Thank you for your excellent customer service, transport and communication with me during my major move from Melbourne to Qld. It was a very emotional time for me and Transcorp made the move so much easeir than I expected. Thank you to the drivers as well, so professional and friendly. Everything has arrived in good order and I thank you for that. I would definitely recommend Transcorp for anyone considering removalists.
Very easy to deal with. They were more than happy to price match for me as well to make sure I got the best deal. They were also happy to answer any and all questions I had.
Unfortunately I was unable to proceed with my freight booking due to circumstances beyond my control. I DO however want to impress upon management how great my experience has been going through with my 'order' as far as I was able. Katrina has been an awesome ambassador/representative for this business and I will most definitely be recommending Transcorp to any and all who may need your services. Of course Transcorp will be my only call in the future for my own freight needs. Katrina is thorough, polite, delivers excellent follow up contact, is clear about any and all details of the booking process and really just makes it all so easy.
John and the team at Transcorp were more than helpful in organizing and carrying out a very complex office/furniture removal From Sydney CBD to Melbourne Warehouse. Very helpful and very professional at both ends of the job.
Professional from the start ,arrived as scheduled and straight into loading the Van,never missed a beat. Courteous to us and gentle to our furniture. Moved from bush back to big smoke and the removalists unphased by challenges of parking the Van close to new residence. Again took it in there stride. First Class Effort by Peter and hard working side kick Chris. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Melinda and jimA
Transcorp Removalists are by far the best removals company we have dealt with and we’ve had a few moves over the years. From our first phone call to Lilly in the office who could not be more helpful with our late notice phone call after many other companies had knocked us back because of the Christmas New Year holidays. The boys who did the move were amazing they were so professional it actually made it enjoyable a big thankyou to Phil and the team. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone considering a move.
The two men that picked up the furniture were so lovely, especially as it was a dreadfully hot day. The were positive and friendly and got things done in a timely manner. Thankyou
Used Transcorp for a move from Canberra to Murrays Beach. Stan was an absolute gem assisting us in sorting our needs for the size of the move, the dates, insurance , and general handy hints! The uplift and the unload teams were fantastic, friendly hardworking blokes. And the best part - on setting up in the new house, no goods had been broken or damaged in any way. A thoroughly professional outfit, highly recommend Transcorp
I cannot recommend Transcorp highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble, from the moment i rang to enquire the sales rep Liliana did everything to accommodate me and make our move as smooth as possible. She walked me through step by step even assisting with taking my inventory over the phone as I walked from room to room to avoid having to fill out confusing and time consuming forms at a time I was already extremely overwhelmed. Liliana and Transcrop handled everything from furniture removal, pet transport, car carrier and even storage on the other end. Through the whole process, nothing was ever too much hassle and they worked with me and accommodated every change, concern and request. I cannot thank Stan, Liliana & Lynn enough for helping me, my family & fur babies to relocate, making what was an extremely stressful and worrying time, a breeeze. They took all the stress and worry off me and allowed me to just focus on myself and kids. Thank you Transcorp for helping us start our new life stress and worry free.
I dealt with Lilly at Transcorp, who made the decision so easy for me to trust them with my possessions, every step of the way Lilly was on the other end of the phone. Thank you to Marty for moving heaven and earth to have my belongings to be delivered on the day I had requested...... OMG they are just wonderful 👍
Wilson & his sidekick ‘Mouse’ were fantastic removalists from the pack up, the loading & subsequent delivering & unloading. Very thorough & professional. Thank you. The office was efficient with all the admin pre & post move. Great service.
The experience was fantastic there job was professional highly recommended. They picked all my home furniture and drop if off and no damage and they loocked after the furniture. So happy with service they provided
In addition to the removal price per se being very fair the men who came to load the furniture on they were honest, hardworking and very professional. They made moving a lot more pleasurable. Thank you
