Portland Mover Reviews
Excellent
Absolutely amazed by these guys! Oregon Trail was fantastic from start to finish. The way in which they took time and care to prepare and pack our belongings was simply incredible!! Can’t thank you 3 guys enough for what you did for me today. Much appreciated! Lisa W
Thanks for helping out with moving things out the attic and loading the heavy items into the POD.
They were on time they worked very hard, some of our furniture pieces are very heavy. They were super careful to not scratch any of the walls they were super careful with just handling all of the heavy furniture that we asked them to move today, they were very respectful it was a joy to work with them today thank you very much for your service and your time
Kenneth and his helper were amazing. They were quick, respectful, careful and considerate of my sister’s furniture and the boxes were handled with care. Kenneth kept an eye on his time here and informed me about the first 2 hrs and how much time after that he was here. They did their best to get all the boxes on the POD, there was just too many of them. They offered to get the rest of the boxes into my garage from the house. I will hire them again.
Everyone was professional and in good communication. On time and the movers were very thoughtful in handling items, asking questions and helping to put things in specific designated areas as requested. Based on my personal experience and the two young men that supported my move, A+++ Thank you! Linda, Oregon
Marcus and David were amazing! They got SO MUCH more packed into the unit than I expected was possible, and they did it in a professional, quick, efficient, and friendly way. This was definitely one of the best experiences I've had with movers/packers of any kind!
These guys were AWESOME. They worked fast and were extremely professional. I will for sure call these guys again.
Fantastic! Showed up on time. Stayed until the job was done even though it took an extra hour and a half. I would absolutely recommend August Movers to friends and family. I live 3,000 miles away and they treated my father just like family and helped him get his house loaded in to 2 Pods. Thank you so much!
Outstanding experience using R.E.D.S moving labor to pack my Penske truck for an out of state move. They were communicative ahead of the move and even arrived a little early to ensure we started right on time. Marcus was an absolute wizard at Tetris-ing everything into the truck, with room to spare! All my things were loaded efficiently and with care; not a thing moved or shifted during the drive. Cannot recommend highly enough, so happy to have used these guys!
Very professional. Called ahead of time to confirm time and locations. I would use them again.
This move ended up being easier than hiring movers/packers, which I have done in the past. This time, however, the move was from Pennsylvania to Oregon, so we packed up a POD, filled it to capacity, and hired people from "Moving fellows" to assist with the move-in. Our shipment was late, but they were accommodating. Additionally, it was New Year's Eve, and they stayed as long as we needed. We were very pleased, and highly recommend them.
We moved from a two bedroom apartment with three flights of stairs and They carried a lot of stuff down several flights of stairs and never complained once. Two nice gentlemen who made a good team working with my husband! It was nice to see them in an assembly line just getting the job done. We appreciate the extra hands.

Real Advice from Portland Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Portland. (They’re really nice!)
"Parking permits are required in downtown Portland. I-405 downtown Portland literally loops all the way around downtown, so you can take North, South, East or Westbound in any direction. Don't panic if you miss your exit."
"Consider minimizing the amount of loose items (e.g., fans, trash cans, lamps, etc.) If everything is boxed and ready to go, your move time will will be quicker, as opposed to having miscellaneous items that are difficult to pack in a moving truck. Consider transporting some of these items in your personal vehicle, if possible."
"Portland and the surrounding areas are unique and beautiful, but busy. Keep traffic in mind, whether you're getting your belongings unloaded or we're loading them up to leave town."
"In Portland, we recommend the U-Haul on 88th and Foster for all of your truck rental needs."
"Portland's street offers a lot of hustle and bustle, so be prepared for our movers to act fast when loading and unloading your truck while it's parked in a metered curbside spot. If you happen to move just on the outside of Downtown Portland, be aware of tight streets lined with vehicles, bicycle corrals, and even some of Portland's famous food carts."

Braxton kept in constant communication during the snow & ice, once it was safe he & Matthew came and knocked out the loading of my POD quickly & exceptionally. They took great care ensuring everything was loaded properly and snug to lessen any possibility of shifting during transport. I highly recommend these two young men. A+ all the way

Grant and Jacob were on time, super strong and careful with everything they moved. Thankfully they knew their limits on what could be done, so asked that I took apart a piece of mine that was too big and heavy. I appreciate them not breaking it instead of asking for my help. They were both really nice guys and I plan to use them again soon, so I would definitely recommend them.
Grant and Jacob were fantastic! They were friendly, polite, and very understanding of our situation with having a one-year-old in the mix. I would recommend using them!
Mark, Junior, Chris and Tobi wee the third crew who has helped us and they were fantastic just like the first crew. They were hard working, professional, kind and worked extremely carefully to protect our freshly painted walls and new carpet and hardwoods. This is the only company we will ever use. Thank you!!!
The two men who unloaded our POD were on time, worked very hard and quickly, and took excellent care of the items and our house. They were also very pleasant to work with. We recommend them absolutely.

The company rescheduled for the following day due to a snow storm - appreciate the team still making it to our house when they could have canceled. The movers were quick and efficient. Would recommend!
