The most common things people ask before booking with us.
Moving & Delivery Basics
We cover the Eastern Seaboard with regular routes running from Maine to Miami. Our network includes strong coverage across New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Carolinas, Georgia, and all of Florida — including Jacksonville, Orlando, Daytona, Tampa, Fort Myers, and Miami. We also make regular runs to Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. If you're on or near the East Coast and don't see your city listed, reach out — chances are we're already running a route near you.
We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for large household moves or time-sensitive deliveries. That said, we're experienced at accommodating tighter timelines when the route allows. Our typical turnaround is 1–4 weeks, which is faster than most carriers on the East Coast corridor.
In some cases yes, depending on route availability and scheduling. Contact us directly at (267) 884-8398 and our team will let you know what's possible for your specific job.
Standard moving companies treat your belongings like freight — loaded onto shared trucks, handled by rotating crews, and processed through terminals. Optima operates differently. Your items travel on a dedicated truck with an experienced team that handles them personally from pickup to delivery. We specialize in high-value, fragile, and irreplaceable items that require a higher standard of care.
Yes. In addition to our long East Coast corridor runs we also handle local and regional moves in and around the Philadelphia area and other markets we serve regularly.
Specialty Items & Fragile Freight
Yes — this is one of our specialties. We regularly transport antiques, fine art, sculptures, architectural salvage, and collectibles for dealers, collectors, galleries, and auction houses along the East Coast. Every item is blanket-wrapped, padded, and handled by experienced professionals.
Every item we carry receives blanket wrap and padding as standard. For particularly fragile or high-value pieces we take additional precautions at the point of pickup, during loading, and at delivery. We are fully insured and treat every item as if it cannot be replaced — because often it can't.
Absolutely. We work regularly with auction houses and galleries across the East Coast. We understand the time-sensitive nature of post-auction pickups and consignment logistics and have experience coordinating directly with auction staff and gallery managers.
We handle oversized and unusually shaped items regularly — from large armoires and architectural pieces to sculptures and multi-panel artwork. When you submit your quote request, describe the item in as much detail as possible and our team will confirm we can accommodate it.
In many cases yes. Reach out with the specifics of your job and our team will let you know what's included for your particular move.
Pricing & Booking
Pricing is based on several factors — the size and nature of the items being moved, the pickup and delivery locations, the timeline, and any special handling requirements. There is no one-size-fits-all rate. Submit a quote request and our team will come back to you with accurate pricing for your specific job.
