While the backloading that Gold Coast removalists often use certainly has its advantages for business, it’s not necessarily the most natural way to have your prized possessions moved long distance. When considering using backloading, therefore, it’s best to weigh up its pros and cons.

The advantages of backloading

For the customer, the main advantage of backloading is the price, or at least that is the general perception. When booking a removalist in the traditional way, the customer hires the whole truck. There are different sizes of truck, of course, but it’s often the case that there will be quite a bit of empty space in the back. By opting for backloading, the customer only hires the amount of space required just for their belongings.

Much like other just-in-time delivery methods, the backloading that Gold Coast businesses offer also relies on the fact that empty, or partly empty, trucks will be passing a customer’s home or business at some point in the near future. If that customer is then able to have their items ready to go, they will be delivered at a fraction of the traditional cost. Depending on which service is used as a comparison, this could be a cost-saving of up to two thirds.

Potential drawbacks of using backloading

There is anecdotal evidence, especially online, that backloading does not always work for everybody. The reasons for this vary by individual move, but the most common reasons given for dissatisfaction are time and level of care.

By its very nature, backloading on the Gold Coast requires customers to respond quickly when moving their belongings. This reverses the traditional method, where the customer agrees a moving time and date with the removals company and is then prepared for it. In the case of backloading, the movers’ possessions must be packed and ready to go at an unspecified time. This can mean furniture and other goods taking up space and having to wait for delivery times.

The level of care is another concern cited by customers using backloading. While some removalists like Gold Coast Removals will send enough staff to carefully stow belongings, others will expect the customer to help them. This can be seen as a lack of professionalism, which many home and business owners expect when having their possessions moved.

There are so many things to take care of that moving will cost you time or money.

Whether you’re moving neighbourhoods or interstate, you need to look at your options.

A lot of our customers choose our backloading service as a means of keeping costs low.

Here are some of the benefits of backloading, which Gold Coast Removals offers.

One Way Ticket

Backloading works by making the best use of our transport.

As we move thousands of customers locally and interstate, we have empty space in our trucks after delivery.

Obviously, we still pay for fuel and labour to return to base or our next job, full or empty.

We’d rather make the best use of our excellent trucks and removalists, so we prefer our trucks as full as possible.

By offering backloading services, we help solve the problem of one-way removals.

With forward planning, we can often make your move part of our seamless delivery system.

Depending on the size of your load, this can help save on costs for the whole environment.

Put simply, backloading is a superbly efficient use of resources.

Time and Money

The more notice you can give us, the better.

This helps us schedule your move as efficiently as possible.

We can then offer you the very best rates.

If you have the time to plan ahead, our Gold Coast backloading service makes a lot of sense for your budget.

We take exactly the same care of your goods as if we were carrying out our Full Service option.

State of the art tracking systems are in place to guarantee the safety of your belongings.

We just need you to give us an exact inventory of what you need packing and moving.

We pack your goods using the safest techniques and materials.

With some removalists, customers are left to pack their own things.

This leads to stress when it comes to the move, especially during backloading.

Although your valuables will be part of other customers’ moves, we pack and store to the same standard whatever service you choose.

This means you never have to worry about how far your goods will travel, even with someone else’s property.

We make the best use of the space we have available per journey.

We will never try to squeeze in your belongings, or split them up between loads.
