I would NEVER use this company again. I selected them based on the number of reviews they had. I should have shopped around a bit, but I was in a crunch for time.

The crew that showed up was "okay". We walked the house and I showed them where everything was. One guy seemed more concerned about my politics than loading the trailer properly. Another wanted to talk about chemtrails.

We rented a 26' Upack trailer. The 'main guy' said "oh yeah we can get it all in there. I've loaded an eight bedroom house in these things." We lived in a 1800 sqft house. This did not happen. They took 6 hours to load the trailer, and then ran out of room forcing me to rent a separate truck and causing me to spend an extra $1200, in addition to having someone come load that truck. I used them again, thinking they would give me a "deal" all they gave me was 10% off and charged their 2 hour minimum. I had things wrapped, and thank goodness I did, because they ran out of wrap.

Their excuse was "we mis-judged how many boxes you had in the garage, thats our fault."

Bookshelves were loaded sideways, a monitor that was professionally packed by another company was loaded on its side, and a chair was loaded legs first by it and the legs went through the cardboard. Waiting to see if it's broken once the packing company unpacks it.

Nearly all of my dressers are scratched or dented. Bookshelves are destroyed. Bed frames have scratches and gouges in them. Other items are broken as well, like cat trees.

I have moved half way across the country before, had someone load my truck, and drove the truck myself and nothing was damaged to this extent that I have to replace things.

The company that unloaded my Upack trailer was shocked at how careless the truck was loaded and even more shocked that not all of our stuff fit.

Mover's response:
Hello Justin,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Weโ€™re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We strive to provide professional, efficient service on every job, and we regret that this move caused frustration for you. As a labor-only provider, our role was limited to loading and unloading based on the equipment, materials, and space available at the time. Trailer capacity, packing methods, and inventory volume can sometimes differ from initial estimates, and we understand how disappointing it can be when plans change unexpectedly.

Regarding concerns about professionalism, we take that seriously. Our team is expected to remain focused on the job and maintain respectful conduct at all times. Any deviation from that standard is addressed internally.

While we disagree with some characterizations in this review, we respect your right to share your experience. Feedback like this helps us continue refining our training, communication, and job-site procedures.

We wish you the best with your relocation and appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you.

Brandon and Mo were awesome! Everything was unloaded from the truck with care and placed in the house with just as much attention. If I could give them six stars I would. They are my top recommendation for movers in Portland!

They showed up on time at the beginning of the time window. They called ahead of time to confirm and answer any questions I had. They asked all the right questions of me and provided any information that I asked for. They didn't slack off. They worked the entire two hours.

Best of all, they got way more of my stuff into the U-Haul trailer than I thought they were going to get in. It was all packed where it would be safe and no space was wasted.

They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them for any moving job and I would use them again in the future.

Very impressed with how they were able to pack so much into such a small space! And with care, they wrapped all of our furniture. Very happy with the job.

These gentlemen were eager to please and to serve. I appreciate that they took a 20 minute break to get a drink and refresh themselves. They worked hard.
