Great service from Ed the trucker & his team of 4 guys who unloaded and unpacked our goods. They were Excellent.

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.

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.

Kate O'Connor 22:17 06/27/24

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.

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.

Lynn Mullen 18:36 03/03/24

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.

Jim Kennedy 17:17 05/24/23

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.

Jeff Kellison 08:52 05/23/23

In and out within 20 minutes with a full load and they were as nice as the day is long.

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!

A Reviewer 13:23 10/14/21

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

How much does it cost to hire a moving company in Portland for a long-distance move?

Movebuddha.com reports “long-distance moves can range from $1,000 to $14,000+.”

Usually, the factors that will decide the final cost of your move are how much property you need moved, level of service, and how far you are going.

At O’Neill Transfer and Storage, we understand no two moves are alike. That’s why we schedule an in-person survey or video chat to really get to know your job before giving you a customized quote based on only what you need.

We provide accurate estimates within 24 hours of your initial contact.

What is a typical timeline for a local move in Portland?

According to Move.org, “The moving process takes on average about six to seven weeks, from the day you reserve a moving company to the day you finish unpacking.”

Factors that can influence your move’s timeframe may include:

The size of your home
The distance between your old and new home
The amount of property you need to move
The physical weight and size of the items you need to move

When you move with us, you will have an estimated delivery date before officially deciding on us as your moving company.

“Our commitment to punctuality and precise scheduling sets us apart and gives our customers peace of mind during what can be a stressful time,” adds O’Neill Transfer and Storage President, Bradley Boland.

Do you offer any guarantees or warranties?

In our no-obligation moving estimates, we guarantee you will only pay for your specific needs and promise to do everything in our power to ensure your move finishes on time, without unnecessary delays.

Regarding pricing, we believe in keeping things transparent. You won’t be stuck with hidden fees or other unpleasant surprises when you choose to move with us.

“We prioritize transparency and fairness in all our pricing policies and put it in writing,” emphasizes our President, Bradley Boland.

Are your moving crews trained and experienced? How do they handle fragile and valuable items?

Absolutely.

Our movers receive specific training to handle fragile items like antiques and gun safes. Unlike other moving companies, our crew exclusively consists of experienced permanent employees, some of whom have been with O’Neill for decades.

As part of our hiring process, we conduct a background check. This ensures that your belongings are always in safe hands. To learn more about our team and company, take a look at our About Us page.

“We take pride in our team’s expertise and dedication, which are critical to providing the high-quality service our customers expect,” says our President, Bradley Boland.

What are your policies in the event that an item is lost, stolen, or damaged during a move?

Long-distance moves carry risk by nature, but movers should know that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration states, “Your mover is responsible for the value of the goods you asked them to transport.”

We prioritize protecting your belongings at all costs, but we also understand that sometimes things go wrong. This is why we offer Moving Valuation options at O’Neill Transfer & Storage, so you will be covered in case something does go wrong.

When you move with us, you have the choice between two valuation options that will keep you covered in the highly unlikely event your property is lost or damaged.
