Portland Mover Reviews
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
They were amazing. Got the whole POD unloaded in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend them
Great job! Appreciate the guys helping with arranging of furniture. Thank you!!
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.
Marcus and David from The Moving Guy loaded my 16 foot POD seamlessly! They carefully and expertly placed all of my boxes, furniture, and miscellaneous items into the POD and secured everything down. They ensured my fragile items were wrapped with blankets and plastic wrap so they won’t break during transit. They were respectful and kind throughout the time they were at my home. I can’t recommend The Moving Guy enough!
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
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!
Super awesome guys! Really professional and handled our stuff with care. This was our first time using a moving company and they reassured us and helped with every step of the process. Would really recommend them. Super quick and easy! Thank you R.E.D.S Moving Labor for making our “welcome home” so much smoother!
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.
Very professional. Called ahead of time to confirm time and locations. I would use them again.
The team was amazing, we loved the performance and professionalism. We highly recommend this team and company for our next service!!

Frequently asked moving questions in Portland
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."
- Thumbs Up Moving Labor - OR
"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."

Advice for Moving in Oregon or Anywhere.
Because we know a little about moving, we've written some need-to-know articles that can help make moving in Oregon, or anywhere really, as easy as can be.
Major Neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon
You might know that Portland is Oregon's largest city, but what about the climate being perfect for growing roses? If gardening isn't your thing, there's the iconic Powell's City of Books, the greenery of Forest Park, or the delicious Voodoo Doughnuts to experience instead. Or you can Keep Portland Weird by checking out the city's eclectic music scene, microbreweries, markets, and indie art galleries, too.
Pearl District
The Pearl District used to be an industrial sector, but all the warehouses from its past have been transformed into hip art galleries, restaurants, and bars. For instance, Portland Center Stage at the Armory is, well, a former armory transformed into a theater. Places like the Teardrop Cocktail Lounge even make some of their drink ingredients in-house. The neighborhood isn't far from Downtown either — just travel along 11th and you're there. And when it comes to moving in, let local professional movers handle the logistics.
Alberta Arts District
As you might expect from the name, Alberta Arts District is full of murals, galleries, and colorful storefronts. Situated in the northeast quadrant of Portland, the neighborhood is home to places like the dog-friendly Tin Shed café and whimsical Wonderwood Minigolf. And you absolutely can't miss Last Thursday, a monthly summer event with artists, galleries, and performers lining Alberta Street. When moving day rolls around, let local professional movers who know this neighborhood best handle the heavy lifting.
Hawthorne District
You'll often hear the Hawthorne District described as "quirky". It's not hard to see why when it's home to the extinct volcano Mount Tabor, and over 20 food carts in an open-air market called Hawthorne Asylum. It might be a good idea to visit one of the many local coffee houses for a caffeine boost before playing all night at the arcade bar QuarterLand, too. Thinking of moving to the Hawthorne District? Local professional movers can help you get to your new home stress-free.
Sellwood-Moreland
Along the banks of the Willamette River, you'll find Sellwood-Moreland, a great place for families and nature lovers alike. You can visit the Oaks Amusement Park for some classic rides, or go birdwatching in the wetlands at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Between the waterfront views, parks, and biking trails, you'll forget you're minutes from downtown via the Sellwood Bridge. If you're considering a move to Sellwood-Moreland, local movers can handle the transition to this riverside neighborhood.
