For long-distance and interstate moves the company serves destinations across the United States.
What is the difference between labor-only moving and full-service moving?
With labor-only moving you provide the truck, POD or storage container and the crew loads or unloads it for you. Full-service moving includes the truck, fuel, equipment and crew for a complete door-to-door move, covering driving, loading, transport and unloading. Both options include the same professional care and insurance coverage.
Do I need a parking permit for moving day in Portland?
In many Portland neighborhoods, yes, especially Northwest Portland, the Pearl District and downtown. Parking spaces generally need to be reserved through the City of Portland at least 72 hours in advance, and the cost is typically around $60 to $100 per space. The team is familiar with Portland parking regulations and can guide you through the permit process.
Do you help college students move?
Yes. Student moving is one of the company's specialties, covering dorm room moves and apartment relocations for students at PSU and Reed College, along with summer storage between academic years. Scheduling is flexible around finals and breaks, and the labor-only option is available for students renting their own truck.
Can you handle junk removal during my move?
Yes. Junk removal is offered as part of a move or as a standalone service. The crew hauls away furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, construction debris, yard waste and general household junk from homes, apartments, estates, storage units and commercial properties.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Booking 2 to 4 weeks ahead is recommended during off-peak months from October through April, and 4 to 8 weeks ahead during peak season from May through September. Last-minute moves are accommodated when the schedule allows, and weekend dates fill up fastest.
What guarantees do you offer?
Moving Fellows backs its work with a No Hidden Fees Guarantee, so the quoted price is the price you pay, an On-Time Guarantee that the crew arrives within your two-hour window or you get 10% off the final bill, a Price Match Guarantee on legitimate competitor quotes for identical services, and a Satisfaction Promise to make things right if something goes wrong.
