Portland Mover Reviews
Guys were super fast and friendly, we got all out in no time and they had no problem lifting heavy objects through the stairs. Definitely recommend and will use them again.
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
Great job! Quick, professional, and nice guys. Thanks!
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
Do not hesitate to use these guys. Marcus and David were great to work with. They worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done.
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."

Professional and hard working. They took very good care of the furniture. They used blankets and took doors off when needed to get furniture into rooms. Everything looks great.
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!

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.
These guys were really great, working fast and at the same time very carefully moving the Furnitures and the other stuff inside the house. They were very professional and polite. I defiantly recommend these guys.
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.
Joey P and Matt J were my movers and they were fantastic! They loaded and moved in all of my furniture including an upright piano. They even reassembled my desk and bed frame for me. They were super quick and kind. Thanks guys
Excellent help! Both men were timely and respectful. They unloaded the shipping container quickly and carefully, despite the rain. Some boxes had been damaged in transit and they were very careful to ensure no further damage occurred. Furniture and boxes were placed in rooms conscientiously, ensuring I have access to everything I need.
Mark and Tobias did a professional job, courteous , respectful and thorough. The job was done on time, I would recommend them to all of my family and friends.

Moving Guy was a wonderful service. From the moment we reserved to their arrival, and help, we felt very well cared for. The crew was amazing, efficient with great communication. We highly recommend them. James
Great work, hustled and got rite to work. Handled all the stairs with great speed. I underestimated the time it would take, added an extra hour to my booked time with no problem.
