Very experienced and professional. Jason, Grey, and Antero moved my 1100lb and 830lb safes from Portland to Salem in about 3 hours

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

Malissa Snyder 18:59 01/07/26

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

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!

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

A great place to store your belongings as well as work for

Karl N 15:03 12/08/23

Made my dreams come true!

Jeff Kellison 08:52 05/23/23

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!

Suzanne Townsen 20:03 06/10/20

Darryl Nolasco 00:12 06/10/20

Delivered Costco mattress on time and set up. Also hauled away old mattress

Sally Rogers 17:06 06/05/20

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.

Carol g 18:26 06/04/20

Dano 55 17:24 05/12/20

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.

Johnny Rover 19:24 04/02/20

Brad is honest and hardworking. I have enjoyed working with him in the past.

Remington Jackson 05:46 03/03/20

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

Great service and attentive to needs. We are a very-satisfied long-time customer. Highly recommended.

Patti Worden 19:18 06/11/19

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.

The moving guys are workhorses.

Caitlin Littlefield 21:51 03/19/18

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.

Great crew great people!!!Family owned businesses are the best!

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.

Why Do Residents Love Portland?

Portland, Oregon, wins hearts with its perfect blend of lush nature, creative energy, and tight-knit neighborhoods. Residents love having access to forested trails just minutes from downtown and a food-and-coffee scene that punches way above its weight class. Residents love how easy it is to live well here.

Cost of Living: While the cost of living in Portland is about 25% higher than the national average, there are safe, affordable neighborhoods like Bridgeton, Centennial and Hazelwood.

Vibrant Art Community: The City of Roses is known for its thriving art scene. The Portland Art Museum just completed a $116 million renovation in 2025, which is attracting new viewers from both in and out of the state.

Professional Life: While Portland’s job market is going through a rough period, according to local news network KOIN, there are areas that are seeing growth including the medical, tech and trade industries.

FAQ

The best local moving companies will be:

  • Licensed and insured: If you can’t find license or insurance information clearly posted on a moving company’s website, you may want to skip them.
  • Positively reviewed: Google Reviews are a great resource for learning more about the track record of a local moving company. Look for movers who come highly recommended.
  • Accredited or have strong partnerships: Strong ratings from the Better Business Bureau or being an agent for a network like Wheaton World Wide means a mover has the backing of nationwide organizations.

According to MoveAdvisor, “The average cost of a local move in the Rose City ranges from $360 (Studio) to $3,600 (4 bedroom).”

When you contact O’Neill Transfer & Storage, you will have two options to get your custom estimate on your price. 

  • You can coordinate with us to schedule an in-person survey
  • We can do a video chat on your phone or computer

Either way, we can often provide an accurate estimate without hidden fees within 24 hours of your request.

Generally, local moves can be completed within two days and in many cases, in just one day. The factors that can lead to your move taking longer or going quicker can include

  • Amount of property you need moved
  • Distance to your new destination
  • Season (The moving season is most busy in the Summer and least in the Winter)

We also offer emergency moving services if you need your job completed on short notice.

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, so you will be covered in case something does go wrong.

All moves with us are automatically covered by Basic Liability insurance.

The best option for securing your desired timeline is 2-3 weeks before you actually need to move. 

The most busy times for moving companies are usually the Summer. Moving during the Fall and Winter can be much easier if you need more flexible availability.

You may need to get a parking permit if you live in an apartment or condo building. You won’t have to do it alone though, as our customer service team is available to help you through every step of the moving process.
