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!

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

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.

Billy D Lee 22:19 04/23/25

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.

John Wade 10:27 03/10/25

Excellent job, highly recommend!

Marty Dawson 20:42 02/18/25

They did a fabulous job of protecting what I needed moved. Communication with the office & movers was easy, price good & understanding of my specific need. Thank you for great service!

Theresa Smith 04:10 12/17/24

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

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

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!

Kristi Stafford 02:45 06/11/20

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

Tommy Baker 17:42 06/05/20

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.

Roger Wise 16:53 03/07/20

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.

Xiangxiong Kong 05:00 06/25/19

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.

Make sure to thin out your house before your long-distance move, so you are only taking what you need. Keep in mind that heavier appliances may be cheaper to move rather than purchasing a new one.

Welcome to Life in Portland

It’s no exaggeration – Portland is the creative heart of the United States! Diverse culture, walkable streets and tight-knit communities are just some of the reasons why so many people are excited to move into our community. 

Here’s some more information on what life looks like in the City of Roses:

Cost of Living: About 25% higher than the national average. The most affordable neighborhoods to live in include Mill Park, Glenfair and Gresham.

Community Activities: Access to nature is unmatched. Venture into the Forest Park or the Columbia River Gorge.  If you love food and shopping, then check out the Prost Marketplace or one of our famous Food Cart Pods

State of the Job Market: Healthcare jobs are in the highest demand, while Portland’s “Silicon Forest” is always in need of new tech professionals. Electricians and other industry professionals are also in high demand.

Portland Long Distance Mover FAQ

Our long-distance moves start at $2,500. The factors that will decide the final cost of your move are:

  • How much property you need moved 
  • Level of service
  • How far you are going

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 can generally give you an accurate estimate within 24 hours of your first contact.

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, we give you an estimated completion date before you officially sign us as your moving company.

While tips are appreciated, they are not required. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done, consider leaving a review and mention the name of the mover who made your job a great one.

Yes, moving companies operating in Oregon need to be registered with the FMCSA and ODOT in order to legally perform long-distance moves.
