Rob G. from portland, OR
Reviewing: Safe to go Movers
The team on the phone were great and easy to communicate with. one thing i would have appreciated is to discuss the cancellation policy BEFORE charging us. The team picking up were 2.5 hours late to get there (said they'd be there at 10am and didn't arrive until 1230pm and I called them, they were not communicating with me). BUT once they got to the house they were definitely awesome. hard working, focused, asked questions, packed everything VERY WELL. The unload was much better, they communicated when they'd arrive and arrived before they said they would, and they were very patient with working with me and my adjustments on where items needed to go.

Reviewing: United Movers Transportation LLC
I understand the logistics of a cross country move - they can be difficult and time sensitive. My only critique is the inability to have flexibility within a delivery window when originally given a 21 day timeframe, but only 24 hours notice of delivery, necessitating a need to change work schedules to accommodate the movers.

Both men were very pleasant and helpful. They were careful with my belongings, some of which were old and fragile. I would definitely use them again.

When my original mover had to cancel iMoving set me up with John at Simba Movers. John was able to still meet my original pick up date and his guys did an amazing job getting my stuff moved to my new place. Highly recommended.

Portland Moving Services Are a Click Away
Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Portland:
Long Distance Moving
It can be tough to find the best long distance moving companies in Portland. That's why iMoving gives you a whole list of your best options. We also made it easier than ever to book an interstate move: Just tell us where you're headed and what you're taking with you, and choose from a curated list that's tailored to your needs.
Want to make sure you're dealing with the best of the best? We've got you covered. Our research team checks each mover's safety records, service histories and customer feedback - and we call in and pose as customers to keep 'em honest.
Local Moving
Local moves are charged per hour, per mover - and most jobs require about two movers per bedroom. To make sure you're getting a fair deal and a team that'll show up on time, use iMoving to get the best of the best.
At iMoving, we make it easier than ever to shop for quotes and book the best local moving company in Portland. Our research department combs through customer feedback and service history to make sure your team will get the job done with minimal fuss, and we'll even check in to make sure they're still meeting our standards.
Packing Services
Booking packing in [CITY NAME] isn't just about getting some professional help for your boxes and bubble wrap. It's also about scoring some sweet insurance coverage.
In the moving industry, movers provide basic coverage for free. But that's just good for $0.60 per pound. If you want full value coverage, you'll have to pay extra for it - and movers won't even offer it unless you're paying them for packing, too. Sure, accidents are rare, but the peace of mind is priceless (not to mention the convenience of having professionals handling the hardest part of the job)!
Storage Services
Storage isn't just for moving day. In fact, plenty of customers use long-term storage to keep their seasonal decor out of the way until it's time to redecorate. And others may need a temporary spot for furniture or other items they're trying to sell.
Whether you've got Christmas ornaments, a sofa that's priced to move, or a lot of extra boxes from the big move, you can book storage in Portland with iMoving. And as an added bonus, the storage providers in our network can organize direct-to-door delivery so you don't have to make any trips to a storage unit.
Commercial Moving
Every move is different, and so is every business. That's why iMoving makes it easy to book a completely custom commercial move, provided by the best commercial movers in Portland.
Need someone to haul your heavy machinery? Need a skilled hand to take care of your IT equipment? We've got what you're looking for, and we've made it available in just a few clicks. Cut out the downtime, and book the corporate movers you need with iMoving.
FAQ About Portland Movers
Moving services in Portland include local and long-distance moving, packing and unpacking, storage solutions, furniture assembly, and specialty item handling for delicate or oversized belongings.
iMoving offers a wide range of auto transporters to get your dream garage from point A to point B. You can only drive one car at a time, and you probably don't want to shove a bunch of moving boxes into your Lambo, anyway.
Fortunately, our auto transporters have you covered - and if you book a covered trailer, they'll have your car covered too.
Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website.
If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it.
However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple of blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.
In the moving industry, there are three types of estimates: binding, non-binding, and non-binding, not-too-exceed. When you get a binding estimate, it means you’re getting a flat rate. The amount on your quote is the amount you’ll pay.
Binding estimates are a good sign you’re dealing with a reputable mover. Non-binding estimates can be adjusted before, during, and after a move, but non-binding, not-to-exceed estimates can only be adjusted downwards from your initial price.
The cost to hire a mover in Portland typically ranges from $550 to $1,500, depending on the distance, size of the move, and additional services like packing or storage.
Tipping movers $20 per person is generally acceptable for small local moves. For longer or more complex moves, tipping around 5-10% of the total cost is recommended.
Portland movers recommend using sturdy boxes, wrapping fragile items carefully, and labeling boxes by room. Be mindful of Portland’s rainy climate and consider waterproof materials for protection.
If you have large or delicate items, consider hiring movers with experience in handling specialty items. You can also use custom crating, padding, and disassembly services to ensure safe transport.
In Portland, you can responsibly dispose of unwanted items by donating to local charities, recycling through city programs, or arranging for bulk pickup or eco-friendly disposal services.
