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!

My crew for today (2022)
Anne B.

I have used this company three times in the past five years. Each time they have been so helpful, hard working, considerate, and fun to work with. This time was no exception. These two guys that helped me today moved everything out of my 10x15 storage unit and packed it very carefully like a puzzle to the very top of my moving truck. I never would have been able to get my truck packed like this myself. Their help really saved me a ton of time, energy, and frustration. It took 3 hours for these master movers to get it done. It would have taken me 3 days!

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

See all

Great movers who are hard working, respectful and have good attitudes…read more They have EV trucks too which is cool! Shoutout to Dominique, Josh and Alexius (I believe that is their names)!!

Yeah, don't go with these guys. i had specific instructions for my move both to the rep on the…read morephone (xavier he's great) and to them directly. all were not really cared for properly. I should have just gotten my friends and a uhaul to move, but i was promised it would take 5hrs. i was billed 5.5hrs. tip top of the money i had left. and they didn't even have time to move everything. why? because their recklessness with my things i didn't want them carrying my computer monitors. they were hired to pack and move stuff across portland. they came at 1:30 when they said only to tell me that they didn't know they needed all the packing stuff. they eventually arrived nearly 2hrs later and towards the END Of the original window i was promised without any 'hey we will be there at this ETA' they said they got stuck behind a train, which is fine i guess? but no update after that until i called and complained, which got me a 5% discount, which is nice i guess? but like everything that happened after were MASSIVE red flags, both for the computer and the 'movers' which felt like contractors they just hired for whatever without properly vetting. i had a small move, 2 rooms. they were the slowest movers and most reckless movers i've ever hired. but i don't really blame them fully for that. supposedly they were working since 8am and just drove up from salem or something. they didn't even eat lunch. is that even legal?! no wonder they came to the door exhausted already and out of it. These 2 guys did the best they could, but honestly with how exhausted I was from helping them (something i SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO), they were doing a good job, but that doesn't really matter. in the end this guy ruined my 2000 custom built standing desk for music. not sure if i can get it repaired or fixed. he undid it and said he will put it back together. it was pretty easy just a few bolts into the joints between the wooden top and the legs and putting on the keyboard tray. easy stuff for the most part (when you have a drill, i don't own one). this guy didn't even look at where he was drilling or understand how the desk was put together after showing him specific things. he just drilled in the bolts and they hit a part that they're supposed to go into but was put in backwards making it impossible (on purpose) to get the screw in. this guy just kept drilling harder and harder and when i asked him about it he was like yeah it's supposed to sound like that. He either was so exhausted he couldn't think straight or just took on tasks he could have said 'yeah i don't know how to do that, can you do it?' either way now i have a broken desk that's only partially built and put together. i am really glad i moved all of my expensive stuff to my place with a friend last weekend, because they definitely would have broken a lot of very expensive things! I also gave them a mattress cover to put on the mattress, and they struggled doing that. You are movers wtf?! i zipped it up about half way and moved on. Then when we got to my new place they didn't even use it and put the mattress on the pavement to get a better angle or something. like what was the point in bringing it?! They also dropped a bunch of precious memories i had in a bin in a bin, they said they took them out because the outer bin couldn't close (bs). They were holding it open wrapped around their arm and i asked them to close it as it doesn't look secure and he said it would be fine, then immediately drops it with pictures and papers dropping on the ground and getting dirty. Anyway this all just happened. and there's no way I can live in my new place due to the lack of time they afforded to me to actually place things in the right spot. At least my bed is in the right spot. luckily for now i am in a short term rental because my last place had mold and why I am moving. i am highly allergic and being there as long as i did, both to wait for them to show up and how slowly they worked on loading the truck, I am feeling sick again because of it. The estimate was low balled to say the least because these guys move at a snails pace because this company overworks them and treats likely their staff like crap. these are probably more desperate people looking for an easy pay day. one guy was like 'i worked 4 days this month' and the other one worked 6 days in a row. a 12 hr day without a break outside of driving (which isn't a break) isn't really fair or legal? I paid nearly 1k for this move, and you can't afford to give these people a proper break between moves? I'm sure they weren't making nearly enough either. Lastly they pressured me to sign a thing at the end of the receipt that says everything was delivered intact, which i didn't sign. Anyway go with another company, not worth the risk. I didn't have another weekend to do this move as i need to have a livable space and that takes time as well. Anyway the movers were careless, slow, expensive, and ignored instructions.

DON'T WALK, RUN away from these people. Setup: I had already started packing. So along with sq-ft…read moreof the apartment, I provided a detailed inventory of all the large items, and an estimate of cu-ft in boxed sundry. I also gave them photos and suggestions for off-street parking. On moving day, they arrived 40 min late and had no information about the parking situation (+15 min for moving the moving truck). Either the estimator or dispatch listed me as a single room rather than top-to-bottom 1,000 SF apartment. They only booked a 2-person team for 4 hours (needed to be double), and nowhere near enough packing materials to finish the job. Between the late start and fixing all the problems, we burned 2 hours before even getting started. The guys were complaining TO ME that they wouldn't be paid overtime. Their preferred time-saving method was to simply empty kitchen drawers (including sharps) into huge boxes that also had paper lantern floor lamps, decorative pillows, and random stuff from my office (lamps were trashed). There were only 2 closets; both had gotten the floors cleared, but no one bothered with the overhead shelves. Due to limited space on the truck, I had to make other arrangements to move my couch, 2 living room chairs, and my bed. Once we got to the new place, they ignored the room labels and simply piled everything I own in the middle of living rm/kitchen. Instead of using the rest of my weekend to unpack, it took me TWO WEEKS to dig out, distribute, and get stuff put away. I made several trips back to my old apartment to clean out the closets and rescue other stuff that I discovered. I paid another $900 to have those last 4 pieces of furniture carted out and donated. Hire these idiots at your peril.
