Chermside Moving Tips & Booking Guide

Moving Considerations

  • Apartment Access:  lift bookings, loading bays, building restrictions. In Chermside’s multi-storey buildings, secure lift access early to avoid delays. Coordinate with strata for loading zones and notify of move times. This prevents fines or access issues during your relocation.
  • Traffic Conditions: avoid 7–9am and 4–7pm peaks; affects move time. Chermside sees heavy traffic during rush hours on major roads like Gympie Road. Schedule moves outside these periods to cut travel time. Early starts help navigate congestion smoothly.
  • Parking Permits: some councils require permits; contact them early. Brisbane City Council may need permits for street parking in Chermside. Apply via their website weeks ahead for your move date. This ensures legal access without interruptions.
  • Weather Factors: plan for summer heat, rain, or humidity; start early. Queensland’s humid summers in Chermside can slow outdoor work. Begin moves in the morning to beat the heat, and cover items against rain. Hydration and ventilation keep teams efficient.

When to Book Your Move

  • Peak Season (Dec–Feb): book 4–6 weeks in advance.
    Summer holidays drive demand in Chermside. Secure dates early to avoid limited spots and higher rates during this busy period.
  • Regular Season: book 2–3 weeks ahead.
    For moves outside peak times, two to three weeks gives flexibility. This allows coordination with your schedule without rush.
  • Last-Minute Moves: same-day or urgent options may be available.
    We handle short-notice requests when possible, subject to availability. Contact us directly for urgent Chermside relocations.
  • End of Month: high demand: confirm dates early.
    Lease endings spike bookings. Lock in your slot promptly to ensure smooth planning.

Best Days to Move in Chermside

  • Best Days to Move: mid-week (Tues–Thurs) for easier access.
    Weekdays offer quieter streets and parking in Chermside.
  • Best to Avoid:  public and school holidays.
    Holidays increase traffic and restrict access points.
  • Higher Demand: weekends and end-of-month fill quickly.
    Book these early to secure availability.

Payment Information

We offer simple, transparent payment options to make every move smooth and straightforward.

Accepted Payment Methods

  • Cash: exact amount preferred.
  • Bank Transfer: BSB and account details supplied on request.
  • Credit Cards:  Visa and Mastercard accepted (1% surcharge).

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
