Nelson and Luis were GREAT. They took care of our things with care and made adjustments proactively to make sure our things were protected. They were polite, professionals, and careful. Thank you, Nelson and Luis. Their boss, Tony, communicated well with us.
Luis Gutierrez and Nelson Mejia arrived and packed my belongings to be sent to the UK this morning. They did excellent work. They are a good team. They took care to make everything secure and went about their business professionally and thoroughly. Five star work.
Excellent job, highly recommend!

Bob Gonzalez and his team of movers are amazing! Everyone showed up on time and our whole move went great. I'd highly recommend them plus the gal in the office Geana has excellent customer service skills and we're so happy. Thank you Bob and team! Happy holidays!
Great service from Ed the trucker & his team of 4 guys who unloaded and unpacked our goods. They were Excellent.
We just moved our entire house from Hillsboro to Beaverton, about 8,000 pounds of household items. The crew showed up on time and were very polite and handled our goods with care. The cost was reasonable and definately saved my back and knees. We were very happy to support a local business and would use them again.

I am glad to share my fantastic experience with O'Neill. Their service exceeded all expectations, making our move not only efficient but also remarkably smooth and stress-free. From the outset, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They arrived promptly, handled our belongings with the utmost care, and executed the packing and moving process seamlessly. Every item was transported safely, thanks to their meticulous attention to detail and careful handling, despite having to walk up and down 5 flights of stairs repeatedly. What truly set O'Neill apart was their extraordinary commitment to ensuring that our new home was perfectly set up. Unlike many movers, they didn’t just unload the boxes and leave; they actively assisted in placing and organizing our furniture, boxes, and belongings according to our preferences. Their help was incredibly valuable. I recommend O'Neill to anyone in need of a moving service. Their exceptional care, professionalism, and the extra effort truly made all the difference.

We recently had a very rushed complete move out of our home when the sale closed very quickly. O'Neill Transfer and Storage stepped in, and in one day, had the entire house packed up and moved over 100 miles away into a storage unit at our new location! They were very careful with our things, and packed and padded each box carefully. The crew was extremely courteous and polite, and were always willing to work around us as we hustled to get moved out by the 5 pm deadline. They drove the whole truck load to the coast and neatly stacked everything in our storage unit for us. Each box was labeled with the room that the items came out of, so now all we have to do is look through the boxes to find the items we need.

Jason and Albert and their team were great. They were respectful, fast and communicative. We had a lot of stuff, and they handled everything without any issue. They were exactly the type of people we needed during a stressful move.
I'm a home organizer and I hired the O'Neill team to move my client's belongings from his old house to his new one and they did a wonderful job. They were on time, professional, and they completed the job very quickly. There was no damage to any items. Highly recommend!

My main movers for an international move contracted with O’Neills to pack up and load everything into a shipping contain. Albert, Markus and Freddie arrived and couldn’t have had better attitudes. They were careful with every item they packed. The main company had failed to give them a complete picture of the size of the job, but they made it work and ensured everything was packed professionally and without fuss. I was seriously impressed with these gentlemen and would highly recommend based on this experience.

I give this company 5 stars. The staff who packed my furniture, kitchen, glassware, and collectibles did a fabulous job. Only 1 glass was broken (I had quite a few). They stored my things until I found my new home. The moving staff was also great. I couldn't believe how quickly the got everything into place. A side note....both the packers and the movers had been with the company a long time. That says volumes about their organization.
A great place to store your belongings as well as work for

Great business with great people!
Our moving team was amazing. They worked hard, had solutions to problems, were personable and saved us both time and money through their knowledge of efficient and optimal storage solutions. I was very impressed and will certainly use them again in the near future.
I needed some valuable China and antiques packed and loaded into a truck. The packers arrived on time. They were efficient, not rushed, and carefully packed and loaded the truck. They did an outstanding job packing and loading these very fragile items. The items arrived safely at their destination; the packing and careful loading of the truck was critical to that. Kudos to their professional expertise. I highly recommend.
In and out within 20 minutes with a full load and they were as nice as the day is long.

Great job! Careful and efficient in loading by Lumen, Anderson and Laura - helpful and friendly people
The two gentlemen who brought my “stuff” to me were exceptional. They carefully unwrapped every piece of my “stuff”, place it carefully and were gracious, respectful & kind to me. We also shared a few laughs, as some of my “stuff” truly is hilarious.Chris & Karl, thank you for being just awesome.Sincerely,Ms Mickey
After reading enough reviews about horroble moves, one will inevitably become wary and expect the worst. O'Neill totally blew me away with how professional and kind they were every step of the way. Absolutely awesome team delivered my belongings efficiently and with care up to my third story apartment (with an elevator, but still). Scheduling the delivery was super easy as well despite the delay due to the snow. Truly can't recommend them enough!

Complicated move with lots of moving parts and they were great!
My mother-in-law‘s house sold in one day. Unfortunately, we were unable to find a long-distance mover with availability before her closing date. We found one company who had a day available a month after closing, which we were lucky to get, but no availability to pick up her belongings and put them in storage. That left us in the difficult position of having to find a carrier who would be willing to pick up her furniture and hold it in storage for a month. We were very fortunate to find O’Neills. Not only were we able to snag the only day they had availability before the closing date, but the entire experience was positive. Geana and Betsy were very helpful, responding quickly to any of our questions or requests and were great at keeping us informed. The moving crew was very pleasant, careful with my mother-in-law‘s furniture and boxes and had the truck loaded in half the estimated time. All the furniture was carefully padded and we were given use of the pads at no additional cost with the only proviso that all of padding had to be returned at the time of the transfer to the second carrier. The furniture and boxes were in good condition and the transfer to our distance carrier was seamless. I highly recommend O’Neills and want to thank them for their help.
Another great moving experience! On time, professional, hard working and friendly! Thank you!

The individuals that delivered our matress set were quick & professional.This would have been perfect during typical times, but during a pandemic I do wish they were wearing masks/face covering. I think PPE should be provided & used by the delivery crew!

I was nervous ordering a bed online, especially not knowing the details of delivery. It actually came 2 weeks sooner than promised and the communication setting up the delivery was superb. They kept us informed even calling when on their way even though we were given a window for delivery. The delivery itself was incredibly professional. They were respectful and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this company.

O’Neil delivered a mattress we ordered from Costco. Their office called and scheduled a delivery window between 8:30-10:30 and the truck was at our home right at 8:30 on the agreed upon delivery day. The delivery men had the mattress off the truck and inside our garage within 5 minutes. They would have brought the mattress inside and set it up but with the virus issues I preferred to do it myself. It wasn’t the 100% contactless experience I would have preferred because I had to sign the delivery receipt so they could work on that aspect of the process. Perhaps a phone call or email where I could confirm the delivery without touching anything. All in all a 100% good delivery experience with just slight room for improvement.

I have O'Neill Transfer move us from the west side of Portland over to the east side. They were able to get everything in my 5 bedroom house packed up, moved and delivered to my new house the same day. Everything arrived as good as when it left the old house. Great work and very hard working crew.

Update, written 2 MAR 2020My items were delivered last week. I can say I have no problem with this moving company. They communicated with me promptly and my items were in the best condition I have ever had with movers. I plan on moving again, and I will think of this company first is all I have to say.Written 11 JUL 2019Where do I begin? Well this is a good moving company, most of my communication was done via email. I managed to get an estimator to come out and look at my apartment. I was glad because basing the cost of a move purely on square footage is bad. After the estimator came out I kept in contact and all my questions and concerns were addressed.The day I was going to have my items packed and stored the three gentlemen showed up on time and were very diligent. Very professional and addressed my concerned. I am experienced with other movers and somethings I knew to look out for.I will update this review when I move into a new place and have them deliver my items. As for now they left a great impression.

We had outdoor furniture delivered that we ordered from Costco. We were given a two hour window. Dean and Todd arrived within a 1/2 hour into that window.They were prompt, efficient and had the best personality, considering I had to determine placement as they were unloading. They carefully unloaded and made sure all packing materials were picked up and hauled away.They both were a delight in the short time they were here. Our thanks.

We cannot say enough good things about O’Neill Transfer and Storage Co Inc. of Beaverton, Oregon – affiliated with National Van Lines. O’Neill’s President (Bradley Boland Sr.) came to our rescue after we had been bilked by an online Moving Broker (don’t ever make that mistake!). Anyway, it was the day of our scheduled move through the online broker and the price suddenly jumped $2,000. We “fired” them, but then were in a desperate spot as we (family of 3) had our plane tickets to leave the next day. We called O’Neill and spoke with Brad Boland Sr. who immediately came out, gave us the price and made arrangements for the move on the spot. O’Neill is a very professional company with great client communication. Everything was packed and moved to Buffalo NY in perfect condition and right on time. They gave a fair price and more than made up for the terrible experience we had with the online moving broker. We would recommend O’Neill 100%!-Craig Voigt and Caitlin Littlefield

Organized, very dependable and local(!). Amazing packers; not a single item from a very large home broken or even scratched. Very flexible for multi-state moving.

Amazing communication! Used them to rent 2 Cow (Container on wheel) units and could not be more satisfied. Thank you. Only other suggestion I have is to fix the link from the cow website that gives an old number in Lake Oswego that when you call hangs up on you.
Great crew great people!!!Family owned businesses are the best!

I was relocated from OR to MN for work and it had to happen fast. I was not going to give up the OR apt. yet as I was not sure how it would all go. It was overwhelming trying to figure out which service to use and I was getting calls and emails with quotes from all over the country after I did an online search/inquiry. I liked the idea of using a local company and Bradley, the president, called and emailed and came over with some boxes to give me some advice on what to bring and not bring, etc. He was very hands on and trustworthy and everything went well. I would recommend his service to anyone.

Staying prepared makes all the difference on moving day. With O’Neill Transfer & Storage handling the heavy lifting, you can focus on starting the next chapter with confidence!
At O’Neill Transfer & Storage, we’ve proudly served the Portland area since 1920. What started as a local moving business over a century ago has grown into a trusted, full-service relocation company. After three generations of O’Neill family leadership, our current owner, Bradley Boland Sr., took over in 1998—continuing the company’s legacy with the same dedication and care it was built on.
We believe the key to a great move is personal service and local experience. As a family-run company, we treat every customer like a neighbor and every move like it matters—because it does. We’re proud of the reputation we’ve earned over the years and of the strong ties we’ve built in the Portland community.

O’Neill is also proud to have ITS Global Relocation Services and Take Care Move Assistance as their subsidiaries, further providing help and support to the Portland community for specialty moves.

The cost of hiring Portland moving companies can fluctuate depending on numerous factors such as distance, size of the move, and added services. For an accurate estimate, it’s essential for the mover to perform a home survey, evaluating the volume and nature of items to be moved. According to moveBuddha, “The typical cost for hiring movers in Portland, OR is $130 per hour with a total move cost ranging from $460 to $4,270, on average.”
O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage offers both in-home and virtual surveys in order to give you an accurate estimate with no hidden fees. We take the time to observe and evaluate all your items instead of providing a blind estimate over the phone. We also offer flexible virtual and in-person surveys, ensuring your needs and preferences are properly accommodated. “Our competitive prices and the value of our service ensure you get the best possible Portland area moving experience,” assures our President, Bradley Boland.
Most Portland moving companies provide free quotes, covering all costs and services to avoid any unexpected expenses. Some movers in the Portland area provide estimates over the phone; however, those cannot be accurate because they couldn’t possibly have all of the information without an in-depth survey of the home or office in person or virtually. This could lead to unplanned additional charges down the road. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration clarifies, “A non-binding estimate is what your mover believes the total cost will be for the move.” Be sure to get a written quote in the form of an Order of Service, which details and warrants all of the moving company’s services and responsibilities.
At O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage, we take this seriously and provides a detailed quote that encompasses every aspect of your Portland area move. “We are transparent about our prices and services, enabling you to make informed decisions without any hidden surprises,” assures our President, Bradley Boland.
Full-service moving companies in Portland typically offer local and long-distance moves, offering tailored services to meet customer needs. This Forbes article explains that a local move “Is typically defined as a move that does not exceed a 50-mile distance. Additionally, the move must remain within state lines to be considered a local move.” Although most movers in the Portland area offer local and long-distance moves, certain companies only travel up to certain distances, so check with your company to verify. Confirming that your moving company has an in-state license for local moves and a USDOT license for long-distance moves is also essential.
At O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage, we’ve been serving the greater Portland area since 1920, offering local and long-distance moving services. As an interstate agent of Wheaton World Wide Van Lines, we have access to over 400 other agents nationwide, so we will ensure your local or long-distance move is as smooth as possible. Our 100 years of experience and meticulous planning ensure your move is seamless, regardless of the distance. “Our dedication to providing exceptional service, whether for local or long-distance moves, sets us apart in the industry,” emphasizes our President, Bradley Boland.
Portland area movers typically offer packing services and supplies to make your move easier and more efficient. Packing is a critical part of moving, and the availability of packing services and materials can ease the moving process. “Instead of worrying about safely packing your belongings in the right boxes with the correct packing materials, you can leave the details to the pros with experienced hands,” states Move.org. Many Portland moving companies offer packing and unpacking services for an additional cost, but not all companies do, which is why you should always check with your company beforehand about this truly helpful add-on service.
O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage not only offers packing services but also supplies high-quality packing materials. Our packing services are honestly priced to ensure affordability without compromising the safety of your items. We can pack just a few items or the whole home. Check out our Packing Services Page to learn more. “Our goal of providing affordable packing solutions brings peace of mind to our customers,” assures our President, Bradley Boland.
Licensing and insurance are critical considerations when choosing a Portland area moving company, as they determine if the moving company is legally allowed to complete moves. For long-distance moves, the movers must have a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) license number. If a moving company is an interstate agent of a national van line, it can operate under the van line’s USDOT for long-distance moves. You can confirm their USDOT license by using the Federal Mover’s Database Lookup. “A USDOT number lookup will provide you with a lot of useful information about the movers you’re interested in, such as their contact information, operating status, safety rating and much more,” mentions Moving.com.
For local moves, which are moves within state lines, Oregon moving companies must have an Oregon Department of Transportation license number (ODOT) to operate legally. Their USDOT and state license numbers should be prominently displayed on their website for easy verification.
O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured. We’re an Interstate Agent of Wheaton World Wide Van Lines, with a USDOT license number of 70719. Our ODOT License Number is 251555, and our MC license number is 87113. Our accreditation and coverage provide assurance of our credibility and commitment to protecting your possessions. “Our dedication to keeping your belongings safe during the move is clear with our comprehensive licensing and insurance,” emphasizes our President, Bradley Boland.
Hiring experienced movers in Portland can greatly improve your moving experience. A company’s moving crew is critical in ensuring a smooth move. This Forbes article emphasizes, “Well-trained movers know how to protect your belongings from damage, maneuver heavy items safely down a flight of stairs or through narrow doorways, and efficiently load a moving truck to make the most of the available space.”
Ensuring your Portland area moving company has background-checked movers with adequate training and experience is also essential. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing your belongings are in excellent and safe hands. Ask your mover or check out their About Us page.
At O’Neill, we pride ourselves on having a team of dedicated, trained, and experienced movers who handle your items with utmost care. Background checks are a part of our hiring process, ensuring you can trust our team with your valuable possessions. Rest assured; we have members of our moving crew that have been moving with us for decades, so you can be stress-free knowing we have the experience to make your move seamless. Learn more by checking out our About Us page. “With over 100 years experience, our commitment to excellence and trustworthiness is reflected in the caliber of our experienced moving team,” assures our President, Bradley Boland.
Online reviews can provide a reliable gauge of a Portland moving company’s performance. All moving companies should have reviews on a third-party website such as Google or Yelp, as the reviews on those sites are coming directly from customers. Many movers in the Portland area have ‘curated’ reviews on their websites, meaning they pick and choose which reviews to display without any proof that they came directly from the customer. This is why sites with reviews linked directly from Google or Yelp are always more reliable.

In the moving industry, ‘insurance’ is referred to as ‘valuation’. It’s essential to understand a moving company’s valuation policy. By law, all movers have to offer Limited Liability Coverage, in which the moving company will compensate you 60 cents per pound for each damaged or lost item.
However, not all customers are satisfied with this level of coverage, which is why many Portland area moving companies offer Full Value Protection for an extra charge. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration explains, “This is the more comprehensive, but also more expensive, option for protecting your belongings.” With the Full Value Protection plan, the moving company will repair, place, or fully reimburse you for the current market value of any items lost or damaged during the move.
At O’Neill Transfer Moving & Storage, we provide both Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection options, enabling you to choose the level of protection that best suits your needs. “Our commitment to offering flexible coverage options reflects our dedication to ensuring your peace of mind throughout the moving process,” emphasizes our President, Bradley Boland.
