How to Choose the Right Sydney Removalists
AFRA Accreditation
Choose removalists accredited by the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA). This ensures adherence to industry standards, proper insurance coverage, and professional training. Optimove is proudly AFRA accredited.
Local Sydney Experience
Select removalists familiar with Sydney’s unique challenges – narrow streets, parking restrictions, apartment access, and council regulations. Local knowledge prevents delays and additional costs.
Transparent Pricing
Reputable removalists provide detailed quotes with no hidden fees. Be wary of quotes significantly below market rates – they often indicate poor service or surprise charges.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Verify your removalist offers both basic and comprehensive insurance options. Check what’s covered, excess amounts, and claim procedures. Never choose uninsured movers.
Professional Equipment
Quality removalists use proper equipment – furniture blankets, trolleys, straps, and well-maintained trucks. This protects your belongings and ensures efficient moves.
Availability & Punctuality
Good removalists are transparent about availability and will show up on time. Delays can cause stress and extra costs, so reliability is crucial.
Clear Communication
Responsive and helpful communication from the first call through to moving day makes the process stress-free. Choose a company that provides updates and answers questions promptly.

We have the best moving boxes in the market for the following reasons:
- Extremely rigid and high-quality moving boxes
- More durable and can hold more weight.
- Excellent protection for your belongings from breakage and damage while in transit
- Cost-effective, as they can be used repeatedly.

My partner and I have just used Optimove removals for a double move – stuff out of my house to storage whilst another truck at his place to bring his furniture and belongings to here and more to storage. We went with them based on price and a promise of ‘great care’
The removalist service has been fantastic. The boys all moved fast on both crews, were so easy to deal with, and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw everything plastic and or blanket wrapped so well to completely protect everything we have. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Jacqueline Nagle
“By far the best removalists I have used. Adam and Chris were fantastic. On time, polite, energetic, fast and careful with all of my furniture. Reasonably priced and very efficient .” Jessie Mariee Watson, 29 August 2025
“I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of Optimove to shift a lot of my precious belongings into storage. The removal team phoned me to give an estimated time of arrival and when they arrived no time was wasted. The 2 removalists were fast and efficient. I was very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for removalists and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.” Sue Bertram, 19 August 2025
“Best removal company we have ever used. Optimove removals is a great moving company, two nice lads who moved at a good pace. Everything was well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Very good prices, next time you are looking to move to a new location check these removalists out. Better than a hiring a truck and moving your own stuff by a long way. On time, polite, no hidden costs – the most energetic men ever!!!!!” Kirsten Maria Corin, 2 August 2025
“On Saturday just gone, Adam and Chris from Optimove did an outstanding job in moving us from Burleigh Heads to Cornubia. They worked tirelessly without stopping for 5-6 hours until the job was done, whilst taking absolute care of all our possessions. They were friendly, honest and just downright good blokes. I high recommend Optimove.” Glen Read, 18 July 2025
“Just wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to the team at Optimove. The guys that arrived on the day were so friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t believe that when they said everything would get wrapped and protected that it actually happened. I have moved several times in the past but I found these guys definitely stood out amongst the rest with their speed and professionalism…” Carly Turner, 9 July 2025
