I had a great experience with O’Neill Transfer and Storage. I moved from Stanford, CA to Portland, OR, and they handled everything from the initial move to storing my belongings for about a year and ultimately delivering everything to my new home in Portland.Everything arrived in great condition after a year in storage, and the whole process went very smoothly. Their prices were reasonable, and they were helpful and responsive throughout what was a fairly long and stressful process for me. It was actually quite difficult to find a moving company that could accommodate this particular type of move, especially given the relatively small size of my shipment, so I really appreciated that they were able to handle everything from start to finish. Bob, John and Cindy were great to work with. I’m very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend O’Neill Transfer and Storage.

Jason and Ray were some of the absolute best movers I’ve ever had. They treated all of my things so delicately and respect respectfully. They were incredible communicators, Incredibly professional, very nice, and we had a lot of fun while they were moving all of my stuff in! I would highly recommend them to anybody who wants people they can trust!

Barclay Grayson 22:44 12/31/25

I cannot speak more highly of O'Neil transfer and Storage! A team of 6 men moved my entire 6,000sf multi-level home into 2 storage units over a 2.5 day period as well as packed a significant number of my most valuable personal items and did a fantastic job. They also moved some incredibly heavy items which was incredibly appreciated. They were professional, courteous, on time, careful with delicate and valuable items and expeditious. Their accounting and administration department handled my multiple coordination calls and my payments smoothly without any issues or concerns. Their team was clean, trustworthy and got the job done exactly as requested and the final cost came UNDER what they quoted me (after I threw in a bunch of last minute extra additions of items that they were able to supply me for my additional long-term storage needs). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Thank you O'Neil transfer and Storage!

J H 20:02 12/24/25

Great job, fast and got everything where we needed it.Even in the tough weather the crew did great!

Meng Cao 05:24 12/05/25

Luis, Nelson, and Nestor did a great job helping me pack up my 1b1b apartment for my move from OR to TX. They took extra care wrapping fragile items and also created a detailed inventory list for all boxes. My employer covered the shipping fee, so I can’t speak to pricing, but the pickup experience were great. I’m still waiting for my belongings to arrive in TX, but so far I’ve been impressed and grateful for their help.

John McLandress 18:07 12/03/25

Billy D Lee 22:19 04/23/25

Paul Hiranaga 15:49 10/01/24

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.

Allison Portney 19:18 07/31/24

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.

Robyn Wright 14:29 07/02/24

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.

Sarah Larsen 23:49 05/23/24

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!

C Sylvester 23:31 05/22/24

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.

God Beni 20:01 02/04/24

Paige Cano 02:14 03/02/23

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!

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.

Quick. Efficient. Worth it.

John Johnson 16:38 05/12/20

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.

Christina Noel 01:38 04/18/20

I called to have a mattress delivered from O'Neill Transfer, they arranged a time to deliver the next day, delivery was excellent, punctual & professional. The old mattress was hauled away as well, thanks for the great job.

Steve Stewart 23:23 04/03/20

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.

Patrick Kane 12:52 07/19/19

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

Patrick Smith 09:14 02/12/18

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.

Lisa Carberry 15:03 02/02/16

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.

What You Need to Know About Moving Your Gun Safes in Portland

Safes Are Built to Stay Upright – Safesworld.com reports that gun safes are designed to be upright, and laying them on their sides or back can pose risks and potential damages. O’Neill keeps every safe vertical and stabilized throughout the move.
Downtown Portland Street Permits – Moving trucks operating on downtown Portland streets require a Temporary Street Use Permit from the Portland Bureau of Transportation. O’Neill handles permit applications so your loading zone is reserved and legally protected before move day.
Portland Rainy Season Planning – Portland receives the majority of its rainfall between October and May. Wet ramps and walkways are a real hazard with a 1000 lb load, so O’Neill schedules and equips every move to keep footing and the safe’s finish protected during loading and unloading.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gun Safes Movers in Portland, OR

Cost depends on the weight and dimensions of the safe, the difficulty of the move and the distance between locations. According to MoveBuddha, a gun safe moved across town usually costs between $200 and $500, while longer or more complex moves often run $600 or more. Added charges may apply for stair carries, permits or special equipment. O’Neill Transfer & Storage provides upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you know your full cost before move day.

Safely moving a gun safe takes careful planning, the right tools and trained professionals. The general process runs from initial assessment through preparation, securing the safe, transport and final placement. Inkas Safe Manufacturing notes that this covers everything from how to properly secure the safe’s contents to personal protective equipment for the movers. At O’Neill Transfer & Storage, we complete an on-site evaluation to plan the safest route, apply protective wrapping and industrial straps, use stair climbers and dollies for transport, and set the safe exactly where you want it, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Kaitlyn Pacheco of Angi notes that professional safe movers have the appropriate tools and equipment to transport a safe safely. Common tools include heavy-duty stair-climbing dollies, hydraulic liftgates, protective blankets and straps, and ramp systems or skid boards. O’Neill’s crews use commercial-grade equipment built for heavy loads, including motorized stair climbers for tight stairwells, air glide systems for delicate floors, and cushioned dollies and lift straps.

Oregon movers must be licensed by the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires a USDOT number for interstate moves. Reputable movers also carry general liability and cargo insurance. O’Neill Transfer & Storage holds ODOT license number 251555 and USDOT license number 70719, along with MC license number 87113, and carries general liability protection and workers’ compensation. Released Value Protection and Full Value Protection are both available as optional coverage.

Many companies offer stair and basement service, though it often carries an additional fee and depends on the number of steps, the turns and landings involved, and the weight of the safe. Inkas Safe Manufacturing notes that professional movers assess the need for a stair-climbing dolly and make sure there is enough manpower to control the descent or ascent while distributing the weight evenly. O’Neill’s crews are trained for stair carries, basement entries and tight corners, using a pre-move walk-through, stair-rated dollies, padded wall protection and multiple movers coordinating each turn.

Gun safes are heavy but still vulnerable to scratches, cosmetic damage and tipping. Safesworld.com reports that gun safes are designed to be upright, and laying them on their sides or back can pose risks and potential damages. Professional movers wrap the safe in moving blankets or shrink wrap, secure it to a dolly or pallet with ratchet straps, use rollers or sliders to protect floors, and plan paths that avoid walls and trim. O’Neill adds full padded wrapping, shock-absorbing dolly tires and sliders, and door and floor guards at both locations.

Gun safe moves are a specialty service, so most movers recommend booking one to two weeks ahead for weekday availability, with longer lead times during peak season. The move itself usually takes one to three hours depending on distance and complexity. Safesworld.com also notes that gun safes require careful planning and adherence to safety precautions. O’Neill can accommodate last-minute moves when needed. Call (503) 270-3393 or get a no-obligation estimate online to lock in your date.
