I inquired with this company for moving services through Yelp. They responded to my inquiry in about 24 hours. I found their quote to be very reasonable, so proceeded to attempt to book their services. I tried contacting them multiple times. I even clicked the confirm appointment button that was sent to me though messages. I was never contacted back. I found it super frustrating that they would allow a customer to get away because they are too busy or do not care to respond to contacts. Their prices are very reasonable, but the lack of customer services makes me wonder how they would be on the day of moving. Would they even bother to show up? Communication is definitely lacking here. I ended up going with another company, Oregon Trail Movers. They were very responsive and made sure to call me back right away after I left a message. Their prices are very reasonable as well and customer service is spot on. At least I know they will show up on the day of! I do not have to wonder. read more

Bill was easy to work with in planning - by both text and email. Randy and Ray, the movers, showed up a little early, worked with a maximum amount of efficiency and care. The rate was reasonable - in line with others in the local business. I really couldn't have been happier. read more

I got a call from Bill shortly after my post and he sincerely apologized for the experience we had. He offered to send some movers back free of charge to finish up anything we needed help with. I appreciate his offering, but we declined. I updated my review for his courtesy. read more

Moved my new grand piano up 6 steps to living room and then up 13 stairs to loft.....some 88 miles from Portland at Oceanside. They were just fabulous. A tough job and they did it with great care and professionalism. Loved everything about them. Bravo, bravo! read more

Very hard working crew. They stuck with us until the job was done. We had s complicated move from two locations to one.

Our movers were great to work with. However at the very last hour they misused screws and swapped screws that were meant for a dining room table and used them for a master bedroom which ultimately damaged the furniture. They told us that this was their 2nd job for the day and they appear to be over scheduled in general. They left that evening not finishing the job. We were left with two pieces of furniture - bed and dining room table both very heavy (which is why we hired professional movers) that were not put together. We had to purchase a different set of screws all together, take apart a bed frame and put it back together with new screws, and then put together a dining room table. And when I called Bill, he offered to pay for screws but didn't have any explanation, concern or apology to offer. The fact that he didn't seem to care - versus explaining that there should be a process that exists so customers aren't left with an unfinished job, shows that there is no interest in ensuring this doesn't happen again. The movers themselves were great to work with and this could have easily been resolved - mistakes happen. I had an entirely different review planned for this, until I called the owner to follow up. I was hoping for a better resolution but his lack of customer service changed that. No repeat or referral business from me. For anyone looking, I've heard Two Brothers, Bridgetown, Primetime - plenty others are great and I also recommend speaking with real estate agents and/or property management agencies for recommending read more

Metro Moving - The bed we had to disassemble and put back together after two trips to Home Depot to find new screws - Movers Near Me

See all

I made a time they didn't show or call 5 minutes before at or after. I called, sent a message to the guy I spoke to on Yelp didn't hear anything. Called 3 times got the voicemail. After an hour and a half I decided I better get a uhaul because I need to move now and I can't wait so I got a uhaul online it was easier than I expected and as I was on my way to pick it up I got a text saying the ETA would be within 30 minutes. I texted back no thanks no one called me when I should have been called so I got a uhaul and am doing it myself. Then i get 4 or 5 texts acting confused. I clearly said why and instead of apologizing they said I wrote down the wrong time. I looked at my emailed time and it clearly said the time I wanted I forwarded it to them and said sorry I have work and I needed this done when I asked. Then the guy calls and says I had an allergic reaction and that is why he is running late. So tell someone! Make them call me have them explain it so I can decide whether I want to wait or cancel. I said nope sorry I have a uhaul. Oh by the way if yer hesitant to use uhaul because you need people to help they have a number where you can call and order movers and they arrive in 30 minutes and were great. I spent $250 total tip included. I had a two bedroom apartment and the gents were great. So go uhaul! read more

They respond quickly with a detailed reasonable quote and no hidden charges. Chris, David and Randy are friendly, professional and efficient. They wrapped all the furnitures with blankets and plastic wrap. Everything ran smoothly even though we stopped at three locations. Thank you guys! read more

Three young man came and moved my two bedroom apartment from Tigard to Beaverton in about 3 hours. They were Swift, polite, and very professional. The next time I have to move, I will be calling these guys again. They made sure they wrapped my important stuff with towels and plastic wrap. They didn't break anything. I did have everything packed in boxes before they got there to help make the move as Swift as possible. Packing is something I do suggest, even though they do help with packing if needed, but we didn't need it. I honestly can't think of anything that they did wrong. Thanks fellas. read more

I rec'd a phone call from the owner Bill, I was pleasantly surprised. He offered to pay back $400 of the $731 bill. Including the broken mirror. I can't ask 4 more than that. ~ read more

Metro moving has now moved my mom's things to her care facility, and my dad's things in and out of his apartment and assisted living. When you first call you leave Bill a message. He calls back pretty quickly. He schedules without asking many questions and they don't come out to look at your stuff either. They packed my dad's belongings up and moved them one time and it was fine. I think we have had Curtis as one of the two movers all three times. He was awesome. Careful, strong, respectful, efficient. Everything you want in a mover. He said he has worked for Bill on and off for a decade. I've had multiple stops on two of the moves to add or subtract stuff and that was fine. It helps to write stuff down, have everything planned, and be all packed to go. This time they disassembled and reassembled a bed for us and I felt bad because it was annoying but Curtis was super about it. Just got it done. Which is how it is supposed to be. BTW movers in Oregon all charge the same by law. So there's no cheap movers. They're the same price. Really. Get good ones. And tip them. read more

I've used Metro Moving three times to move within the Portland area. Two out of the three times I would give a 5 Star Review, and I will be using them for my next move, whenever that might be. I've had a different crew every time, but the movers have always been courteous and timely. They move quickly and efficiently and wrap things in moving blankets and plastic wrap to protect your things and keep drawers and moving parts in place. Response time when I call Bill to set up the move is always very quick and professional. As with any movers, communication is key. If you have something that requires disassembly, like Ikea furniture, be sure to let your movers know and budget this into your expected move time! read more

Chris, David and Randy were our movers today. They know exactly what they're doing and are very good at their job. They were so efficient, quick and loaded up so much at once, I was amazed and impressed! They were all so nice, considerate and careful with our items, all with a positive attitude! I felt so bad for them since it was really hot and some of our items were very heavy, but they kept at it nonstop and did their best to not go over our preferred time. Thank you, Chris, Randy and David! You guys are great and made our move stress-free. read more

I had a good experience with Metro Moving. We hired them to move us from a house into an apartment. Two guys came out, and they took a really long time. They didn't break anything or damage a thing, which I was really impressed by! They were really nice, but a little older. I spoke with the owner after this experience, and he agreed that it took longer than it should have. After our conversation he said that he would not pair this team up anymore to avoid delays in the future. I really appreciated the owner's reasonableness, and the care the employees showed to our belongings, even if they took a long time. I do recommend this company. read more

2.5 hours late questionably professional one guy had never used moving straps before I thought he was going to hurt himself. Banged up some trim and dented my stove, one burner didn't work after the move. They were in a hurry they should've just rescheduled my move instead of getting sloppy read more

I was quoted $1795 for a 48 mile move. On viewing and photographing every room in house they added $374 to quote because I had to many cubic feet. Of boxes. Only on driver spoke much english the other spoke none. The dispatcher said they would arrive between 9-11 the showed up at 4 o'clock. The charged me an additional $1000 to pick up my stuff. I requested my stuff be delivered on the 29th of June. They did not show. I called they said it would be maybe the 2nd of July but they finally showed on the 3rd. This time again only one guy spoke english. I kept telling them what came in house and what went to a side laundry room they ignored me and shoved everything into laundry room which I now have to hire someone to move into house. I am 72 and not able to move this stuff. As I open boxes much of my china and glass ware is broken. The dropped my freezer off Dolly and my dresser fell off truck and was scratched up! They charged me another $2000 to have my stuff delivered so 5k for 48 miles! Don't use the people CROOKS!!! read more

Showed up in time, communicated well and took care of our stuff and home. No banging into walls and all items were well padded. Accomplished the move in less time than I was expecting. read more

Chris, Randy and Lucky showed up exactly one minute prior to the ETA they provided the morning of the move. They were professionals who hustled in the heat to make our move go smoothly. We appreciated their efforts and their attitudes. They cared about our stuff and the end result. They wanted to know what it was they were moving, how it was it packed and where it was going. I heard them decide to transport some of our picture boxes differently because they determined (correctly) we hadn't packed them right. Made me want to tip those gentlemen well for caring above and beyond for our good outcome. Maybe you could do better. I doubt it. read more

David, Sergio, Lucky, and Chris just did a stellar job of moving some very heavy furniture up a flight of stairs! It was a very challenging task, and they got it done quickly!! Thanks, Guys!!! I highly recommend Metro Moving! read more

I contacted Bill (& many others) on Yelp looking to live within the week. He got back to me with a quote, info, etc and we booked. Three gentlemen showed up instead of two and they had us up and into our new place in no time. When they thought they maybe hit a wall, they let my husband know. Professional, timely and courteous service all around. read more

Metro Moving showed up right on time. Randy and Chris worked very hard and were very helpful and amiable. I highly recommend!

Edit: Shortly after posting the review below, I received a call from Metro Moving. I am raising my rating to three stars to reflect my experience. The owner expressed their sincere apologies and offered to find a solution to keep our move on schedule. At this point we had already found other arrangements and to the credit of Metro Moving they offered to partially cover our moving expenses. I appreciate their effort to make it right, and do believe Metro Moving was a victim of hiring the wrong talent for our move. I believe the owner of Metro Moving sincerely regrets the course of the day, and will do their best to ensure this does not happen again. Original Review: This will sound vindictive, and to be honest I don't have the energy to care. My only goal to keep what happened to us from happening to others. My interaction with Metro Moving was initially very positive. They were responsive and informative, and seemed eager to help up until the day of our scheduled move. However they never showed up and didn't return any my calls. This morning, on the day of our scheduled move the team didn't show up at 9am as scheduled. We gave them a half hour window before calling only to get their voicemail. Despite calling repeatedly from several different numbers over the next 2 hours, we didn't receive a single response or reason for their no-show. read more

I was in a bind over my transmission going out in my truck. And these guys showed up on a Sunday within a few hours of my contacting them. They were understanding and professional.

I did hire them again to move a load of trees. And once again .. Johnny on the spot with everything They needed Love these guys. Call them once and you WILL save that number!! Now they are my go to. read more

I'm very happy about my experience with Metro, quick responses via yelp & text, a confirmation call made to me before my move time on the day of, they came in 30 minutes of the time. I got one extra mover than was quoted to me; Randy, Lucky & especially Chris were professional, courteous, reassuring, friendly but on task. They worked quickly & took care with my things. Attention was paid to where I wanted things to go. Price is reasonable & I was charged as quoted. The follow up call from the owner to see how it went was nice. I recommend & would use them again. read more

They called me back when they couldn't make it the day before for the original due date move. But called again if I needed help. They're great and nice company. The movers were fast and quick with a three people. I don't have a car but they were understanding that I needed help to move the last load of items to my new place. Quick service and nice movers. read more

When our destination was not ready on our scheduled move date, Bill Gross graciously rescheduled without complaint or penalty. On the actual move day, the crew of Chris, Josh, and Jessica arrived promptly and were great to work with. They handled our possessions with great care and interacted with us in a professional manner. They were flexible to drop items at a separate address before completely offloading at our new home. We would definitely recommend them. read more

Chris and Ray were wonderful to work with - even in nonstop, pouring rain. They handled my belongings with care and were good communicators. It was a big job and they worked hard to the very end. I would hire them again. read more

We used Metro Moving to move our stored belongings to a garage at our apartment complex. We've always relied on family and friends to help move, but that wasn't going to happen, so we needed help. Metro was the best choice in terms of availability and cost, so on a Wednesday we scheduled them for a Saturday move. Three guys and a truck showed up, and with a little input from us they got everything onto the truck and got it all moved within 3 1/2 hours. We were so happy to get our stuff from 20 miles away to our complex. The guys worked hard and did a great job getting everything moved, and in a way that we can access it all fairly easily. I highly recommend Metro for your next move. read more

There were three young men who came and moved me last Saturday. They were very polite and professional. They were very careful with my many fragile boxes. They took extra time to carefully wrap my furniture. They work very fast. I would highly recommend them to do your move. read more

Our moving experience was great! Metro moving hauled furnishings from our one bedroom apartment in Salem, oregon to storage in Bremerton, WA. The owner, Bill, was very pleasant. The movers were knowledgeable and worked hard. They completed the move without a hitch ~ and the bill was very fair. Thank you, Metro Moving! read more

I needed movers on 3 days notice. I was contacted quickly and arrangements were made. The day of the move, I was contacted a few times with arrival updates. They were running a bit late, but kept me in the loop which was appreciated. I had two guys that were very hard-working and efficient. They were both very respectful and cared about my experience. Thank you Chris and Lucky! You made it so much easier for us! read more

Efficient movers who care for the job and items they move. Love this locally owned business.
