Free futon
Tamara C.

Two great guys showed up, right on time. The job? Move out my trusty futon that I had lived with throughout my 10 year marriage, my 20 years currently living at my art deco grand studio condo downtown Portland, and take it down to the bowels of my building. Why? To make room for my fabulous new Jennifer Taylor burgundy art nuevo loveseat. The guys were great, even though they technically weren't furniture assemblymen, they did indeed assemble my loveseat. Which, in reality, was not that difficult. It was simply a matter of screwing the legs on and flipping it over and putting my stuff back where it belonged. The price was right too. But they did everything with care and with a good attitude so I was happy and tipped them. 2025 - Review #9

Scratched headboard
Brianne B.

We had a terrible experience with Budget Movers in Jan 2025. They caused significant damage and failed to provide insurance that is required under Oregon Revised Statute 825.100. We paid $5,235 for moving services and they caused approximately $8k in damage. They have not refunded any of the charges or paid for damages. Repairing the damage to our home also delayed listing it by 2 weeks. Find a different company and ensure they offer value based insurance and have actual movers and moving trucks (not day laborers and trucks rented at Uhaul). In Jan 2025 we moved 8 miles using Budget movers. Our home is 2,900 sf, 3 bedrooms. The estimate process went well but the lead mover was not onsite during our move. There was a new lead, one person with prior moving experience and 4 hired laborers. 6 movers was too many and created chaos and disorganization that took longer. Multiple rooms and the garage were loaded at once instead of one room at a time so unloading was very time consuming. Many items were put in the wrong rooms and had to be moved again. This is despite 2 color coded labels on all items with a coordinated color-coded sign on each room. Damage Coverage: the movers did not use blankets and damaged our home and many pieces of furniture totaling $7,710. Oregon Statute requires movers to offer insurance to cover the value. This was never offered and the company did not have adequate insurance to cover our claim. We are pursuing other remedies against the company. Damages: Drywall, door frames (not protected), flooring (no protection of wood floors), headboard and dresser (hundreds of scratches, no blanket protection), broke adjustable bed bases, gauges in wood of a Murphy bed by transporting with hand truck instead of carrying (refused to remove doors and drawers so it could be carried), gauges and scratches on wood bookcase, ripped fabric hampers, hauled away to the dump new items with tags for return, failed to haul away large/awkward items in backyard they were paid to haul away (we had to hire another company). The Asphalt of our shared driveway was damaged and we are required to repair it. Hiring people to fix all the damage was time consuming, stressful, and added to our costs. This delayed listing our house for sale by 2 weeks. Moving Chaos: The disorganization and chaos was mind boggling. Red Christmas bins were in every room of the house, sports equipment (baseball bats, basketballs) were put in our primary closet, weed killer in our kids bedroom, bookcases placed sideways on top of small boxes of glass candle votives that were smashed, boxes stacked in front of doors that blocked access, sofa setup to face the door instead of the TV, muddy red rug put on carpet that got it dirty, cereal boxes wrapped in 8 layers of plastic wrap, desk placed on its side that fell. Unlike other movers that quoted our move, they required all items removed from dressers, cabinets, etc. I understand some of this but they wouldn't even allow kids coloring books inside of a locked file cabinet. Almost all our office furniture, file cabinets, etc. were put in a bedroom and we had to move all of it later. I couldn't oversee everything with 6 people doing different things. The labels were often ignored. I've hired movers numerous times and I've never experienced anything like this and it made the already stressful move much worse.

Moving truck

Had a "moving company" show up without a truck in the morning and had try to find last minute movers. The woman on the phone was really nice and said she would see what she could do. She found a team that could squeeze in a 2 hour heavy and large furniture move. The team of 3 showed up right on time and did a great job quickly. The price was more than fair too. If I ever move again, I'll be going with Budget Movers!

Still left on read with zero apology or accountability by the owner as of six days later. Stay classy, Budget Movers.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They completely ruined my move, tried to put their employees in serious physical jeopardy, cost me nearly $1,000 for no work rendered, and are allegedly banned by multiple Portland apartment buildings because of their bad business practices. I booked with Budget to move last Friday from a 2nd story apartment in PDX to a 15th floor one just a few miles away. My first red flag was that the night before my scheduled move - which they'd already charged me a fee for - when their dispatcher called to ask me if I could move my move for them (!!!!). I said no, reiterating again that I'm moving into a unit on the 15th floor, and the moving elevators were booked prior to my time slots that day, which I'd stated in every prior convo. They said okay, they'd come at their scheduled time, and it wouldn't be a problem. My partner and I both had taken the day of our move fully off - 16 hours of PTO burnt between us so we could do this move. Thirty minutes before they were set to arrive, I got a call that they were running 6-8 hours late. This meant that I now would be doing my move around 9pm on a Friday night, with no elevators reserved in either building. This news set off a flurry of work for me, trying desperately to coordinate between both buildings to try to reschedule the elevator reservations. The building I'm leaving couldn't do it, but the one I'm moving into took mercy and agreed to book the off hours evening time for us. Nearly six hours go by, with no contact from dispatch. I finally call them. They dance around it and then finally inform me that they will not be sending me any movers for my move at any time that day - after we waited at home the entire day until nearly 6pm expecting them to be there then. They push to do the move the next day instead (Saturday), and I explained that this was impossible as there would be no availability to reserve the elevator in the building I was moving into, and I was not willing to have their employees be put in the extreme danger of moving huge pieces of furniture by foot up 15 floors on the stairs. When I expressed how frustrating each part of this was, the only remedy offered was that they volunteered to throw in an extra mover for the next day to move my things up 15 floors by foot. I stated that this was unacceptable and I would not allow them to endanger their employees in this way. I'm considering reporting them to OSHA for clear labor violations. Ultimately I asked for my money back since zero services were rendered, and I booked with a different company days later when we could get elevator reservations synced up again. I can't express how unprofessional this company is, and how much it impacted me - and COST ME MONEY - for them to completely ruin my move. I'm now half a week behind, with family arriving for the holidays and no time to get our new home ready. We lost 16 hours of PTO because of this company failing to even show up on our confirmed moving day after they took our deposit, which they certainly did not offer to compensate us for. I lost hundreds more and many hours of time on sunk costs for other contractors who I could no longer keep my appointments for after Budget completely cancelled our move with no notice - including people scheduled to mount furniture in the new place, folks scheduled to do clean outs of the old one, and other vendors with work related to the move. Icing on the cake is that as I shared what Budget did to me with both buildings involved in my move, I learned from staff that one of the two involved had them on a ban list because of the extent of predatory and dishonest practices they'd repeatedly subjected other residents to in my building. They knew the dispatcher by name as soon as I mentioned the company, and told me horror stories of them lying about move times, locking residents out of their move times when they ran behind, two of their movers walking off the job mid move because of their treatment of them, and more. I'm guessing any positive reviews here are from people moving deep in the Burbs. This company cannot handle moving within the city, when there are deadlines to meet and more challenging logistics. I'm sure they'll respond to this review to try to spin it or pretend to care, so here's a note I sent them sharing these problems the day it happened, where the owner very classily left me on read and never bothered to respond when I first went to him in private over my horrible experience. Bottom line: DON'T TRUST THEM. They CANCELLED MY MOVE day or after they were 6 hours late, they cost me over a grand in lost PTO and cancellation fees for other services, and they made this by far the most stressful move and holiday of my life. I've moved cross country multiple times and done moves in many major cities - never, ever had an experience as bad (or bad at all) as this before.

Went to the All Service Moving website and booked my move. There was a confirmation phone call from the front office then there was a phone call from Chuck my move lead saying that they were about 30 minutes out from arriving. The two men worked fast and were very professional. Chuck is the friendliest and nicest person. I've met in a long time. Two thumbs up.

If you read one thing from this review, it's this: do not hire All Service Moving unless you're…read morewilling to risk unexpected charges, damaged belongings, and a company that refuses to stand behind its work. We provided a complete inventory of our home and were quoted for one truck. Your team spent an entire day packing our home and never once mentioned there was a capacity issue. It wasn't until the very end of moving day, after everything had already been packed and loaded and we had no meaningful opportunity to make another decision, that we were told we needed to pay for a second truck. As a result, it ultimately required two trucks to remove our belongings from storage, effectively doubling the cost we had been led to expect. Unfortunately, the handling of our belongings was even more concerning. During move-out from All Service Moving's warehouse, numerous damaged items were identified and photographed. We also documented furniture stored directly against other furniture with little or no protection, exposed boxes, and delicate items packed and stored in ways that unnecessarily increased the risk of damage. As we continued unpacking, we found additional examples of improper packing, despite paying All Service Moving to professionally pack our home. Wardrobe boxes were not used for hanging clothing--the hanging bars were never used, and clothing and shoes were piled throughout the boxes. Delicate lamp shades were packed with dirty outdoor items. Clothing was packed alongside a floor cleaner and a greasy kitchen rack. Fragile decorative branches were packed without protection and arrived broken. These were not isolated mistakes. They reflected a consistent pattern in how our belongings were packed, stored, and handled. Despite photographs documenting both the damage and the way our belongings were packed and stored while in All Service Moving's warehouse, the company has never taken responsibility. We spent months trying to resolve this privately before writing this review. During that time, we repeatedly provided documentation, waited through postponed discussions, and requested the documents supporting the company's position. Those documents were never produced, and All Service Moving never took responsibility for the damage. Moving is one of the largest expenses and most stressful experiences many people will go through. When you hire a moving company, you're trusting them with everything you own. We expected our belongings to be handled with care and, if something went wrong, for the company to stand behind its work. Unfortunately, that was not our experience with All Service Moving.

Very disappointing experience with All My Sons Moving…read more Our move was scheduled for 9:00 AM, and we planned our entire day around that timeframe, including coordinating other people and vendors. Unfortunately, due to a staffing issue on All My Sons' end, the movers did not arrive until approximately 3:00 PM -- a six-hour delay. To be clear, I do not blame the movers who eventually came out. They were put in a difficult situation and did their best under the circumstances. My issue is with how All My Sons handled the situation and the lack of accountability for the significant disruption it caused. A six-hour delay is not a minor inconvenience when you have an entire move and other services scheduled around a specific start time. The delay disrupted our day and resulted in additional unexpected labor costs that we had to absorb. After the move, I emailed All My Sons to explain the situation and requested that management review what happened and consider some type of compensation or adjustment to our bill. I have received no response. Things happen, and I understand that unexpected staffing issues can occur. What is disappointing is that we were left to absorb the consequences of a six-hour delay caused by their staffing issue, and then our concerns were completely ignored when we reached out afterward. Based on our experience, I would expect much better communication, accountability, and customer service from a professional moving company.

Scheduling was easy and the cost very reasonable. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Two moves, and I'm going to be very generous with 2 stars…read more The first move took much, much longer than it should have with three guys, and they unfortunately didn't realize I grew up speaking Spanish (I'm mixed but white presenting) and said some highly unfavorable things for professionals. While the guy who did my paperwork seemed nice, it was way over the top like he was trying to ingratiate himself with me for a better tip. The questions he was asking me were personal and invasive and just left me feeling uncomfortable and wanting to get away from him. Unfortunately this is the reality of being a woman, often, is men mistake your kindness for familiarity when he should have just stuck to being a professional doing his job. This second, and LAST move I will ever hire Bridgetown for, I booked a move with three guys and the same size truck as my previous move. I specifically wanted a company who knew how much stuff I had (we ran out of room, the first time, and I had to leave several items behind). The issues started at booking, when my estimate arrived with my deposit, and the quote read $0...I checked in with Devon and she said my move was still booked, the quote was just a system error (but didn't fix the issue of an hourly rate for 3 guys...but ok...), the confirmation text I received a a few days before my move caused me minor panic because she listed the wrong date...OOPS her bad, but it's fine, all is well, ok... But, the day comes, and TWO men show up with a much smaller than expected truck. I ask about the 3rd guy? Oh well yea his work order says it's supposed to be 3, the paperwork he hands me says 3...I call Devon and yep oops "Dispatch" (aka one of the owners apparently?) "made a mistake and sent the wrong crew due to a paperwork mixup." Folks, when I tell you this would have been an absolutely nightmarish scenario that would have cost me my last shred of sanity due to all the BS I've been dealing with, it can't be underestimated how p'd off I was. Luckily for me, I have terrible anxiety and bc my last move took so many hours, I haven't been able to sit still and had taken *sixteen* carloads of moving bags over myself before the movers ever arrived. I wanted this move to go so much smoother than the last, and I had two afternoon appointments for various maintenace and install issues with my new house that day of the move. I booked three men and huge truck specifically to make the move fast and easy. If I had not absolutely destroyed my body (thank you, anxiety, for apparently seeing the future and that something would in fact massively go wrong) taking allllll that stuff myself over two weeks after I got my keys on the 1st, there is ZERO shot everything would have fit on the truck, not even half my stuff would have fit. And as a reminder, I specifically booked Bridgetown because they had an inventory from my previous move. I was in the end charged the minimum rate, to "apologize" for the "mixup," but having to explain to Devon and to the two man crew why this was all so frustrating and upsetting is insane to me. I booked 3 guys, giant truck, with BM specifically who had my inventory because I knew how much stuff I had to move. They caused me at least 10 more gray hairs that day. I will never, ever, be using your services again.

Cal's Moving & Storage

Cal's Moving & Storage

Five stars for the entire team at Cal's Moving & Storage!…read more From my very first contact with Cal's, I could tell they were different from the large national moving companies. James came to my home, carefully assessed everything that needed to be moved, and provided an estimate based on my actual belongings and the fact that they were being moved from a three-story home. The estimate was accurate, transparent, and never changed at any point during the process. The team was flexible and accommodating with my moving dates, making what could have been a stressful experience much easier. I also really appreciated their "one household per truck" approach. Instead of waiting a week and a half - or even longer - for my belongings to arrive, my delivery took only as long as it took to drive from Oregon to Arizona. The moving crew was outstanding - diligent, conscientious, courteous, and genuinely pleasant to work with from start to finish. I especially want to recognize Justin, who truly went above and beyond. He stayed in contact to keep me apprised of the status of the trek. After driving from Oregon to Arizona, he unloaded the truck in the intense Arizona heat, working tirelessly without additional assistance. Throughout the entire process, he remained positive, professional, and incredibly helpful. He carefully reassembled furniture that had been taken apart for transport, placed every piece of furniture exactly where I wanted it, and made sure every box ended up in its intended room. When I asked for advice on furniture placement, he was even happy to offer thoughtful suggestions. Moving across states is never easy, but Cal's Moving & Storage made the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Justin's exceptional work ethic and customer service were the icing on the cake. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cal's Moving & Storage to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and professional moving company.

We were moving cross town in West Linn, no more than 2 miles away. I had someone come out and look…read moreat our house 4 weeks ahead of time to review all the furniture we needed to move. They said this was between a 3-4 hour job which should cost $1300-1400. Sounded great to me. We also talked about start time - I said we needed to be out first thing in the morning because we had to be out of the house by 3pm on that day, and he said we were the first job on the docket and that I'd get a message from the team that morning, but that estimated arrival time was between 8:30am-9am that day. On the day of the move, I called at around 8:45am to say that I hadn't received a message confirming start time, and Evan in customer support told me I should get a call soon. That call came at 9:05am, at which point I was told that they'd be over around 10:30am, maybe as late as 11am. They eventually showed up at 11:20am. I asked Evan and others from the team if there's anything they could do to help me given that I had been promised an earlier team. The only response I got from the two people I talked to and from the team was that it was a busy day, and they had no one available, and despite the deadline I'd previously told them about, I'd have to wait. Once the team arrived, they took over four hours to move the furniture OUT of my first home. I'd originally been told they should probably do the entire thing in 3-4 hours, but over four hours before they'd be able to even get everything on the truck. I suspect this is because of the three movers sent, only two did anything. A third mover, Miguel, moved some chairs, and not much else. While moving my dining room table, he dropped it and damaged the corner, and after that, didn't spend much time doing anything other than moving cushions and then standing around and folding furniture pads. The other two guys moved pretty much everything, but I was charged for three movers the full day through. While moving out of the house, I had a bookshelf damaged, the dining room table corner was dropped (an extremely expensive table gifted by my parents), and significant damage was caused bringing a sleeper sofa downstairs. I have pictures of all of these that I can share, and will need to know your policy for dealing with damage caused to the home as we were moving out, as the new owners of the home are seeking to charge me in order to repair the damage. The movers showed up at my house at 4:15pm to begin unloading the truck. In doing so, they ran over a mailbox station, destroying three mailboxes in the process, and meaning that my first introduction to those three neighbors was apologizing for my movers running over their mailboxes, which was lovely. Once they were here, I spent the entire time helping them move because I knew I was being charged by the hour. While Miguel sat and folded furniture pads, I helped move couches, tables, and fridges. Significant damage was once again made to a door jamb when moving the couch into the room, despite the fact that I had shown them how to bring the couch in and ensure that it didn't scratch the doorway. There was minor damage done to the stairwell too, though with it being minor, I understand that some things like this happen. The damage to the door jamb was significant, and to a brand new, freshly built house. In the end, I was charged for 7 hours and 30 minutes of work from this team. The email that was sent to me at the end of this has a timestamp of 6:38pm, which was 7 hours and 18 minutes after the team arrived. This means I was charged for extra time, and charged for the 45 minute lunch that the team took as well. I went through Cal's to try to get this remedied. They sent a handyman to fix the damage to my home and the mailboxes. Mailboxes look good, the damage to the home is still noticeable but better. Never heard anything on damaged furniture, including radio silence after leaving a voicemail and another email, and never got any response about the mover who I was charged for who didn't help much.
