More flexibility, and more security. That’s what you get with Moving APT.

How Much Does it Cost to Move in Portland?
The costs of moving can be a huge burden on a family trying to start a new life. Moving to Portland usually costs from $1,500 to $8,000 which is a huge range. Without actually knowing how many items you need to be assembled and taken apart, how many big appliances you have, and how far you are going I can’t tell you an exact rate.

Portland Moving FAQs
It’s a good idea to set aside a 15% to 20% tip, to be divided up across your whole moving team. You may be fed up with the tipflation in Portland, but moving is hard work. Plus, unless your mover has explicitly declined gratuity, tips are accepted and expected in the moving industry.
Packing supplies will usually cost between $20 and $100, but there’s no guarantee your nearest big box store will have what you need in the first place. If you’re really desperate, you can ask around at office parks, bookstores, and even liquor stores. They usually have sturdy boxes they’re willing to part with. (Or, you can skip the whole hassle and pay for packing services.)
If you want to really prepare for moving day, we recommend starting early. Like, WAY EARLY. Start planning at least two or three months in advance, and try to downsize as much as possible before you start shopping for moving quotes. If you’re doing your own packing, start with your least-used items, and slowly work your way to your most-used items.
PS: If you’re looking for more last-minute advice, we recommend putting all your daily essentials in one easy-to-access backpack or suitcase. That way you won’t have to dig through tons of boxes just to find your toothbrush.
We’ve talked about distance and size, but there are other factors that can raise the price of your move:
- Access fees: If your movers have to deal with an obstacle course between your front door and the street (think elevators, extra staircases, and long driveways or hallways), there’ll probably be an extra fee.
- Moving shuttles: Long distance movers will use big semi trucks for the interstate portion of your move. But when they get to your new city, they may have to stage the truck outside of town, and use a smaller truck or van to finish the job.
- Extras and add-ons: Cool features like packing, storage, and specialty shipping can really make your life easier, but they typically come at an added price. Don’t worry – unless you’re moving a McMansion, this won’t usually break the bank.
