Here is a candid look at moving in Oregon, particularly Portland (2023)
Ah, the mystical land of Oregon, where the city of Portland reigns supreme as the hipster haven that it is. The Pacific Northwest, much like the elusive Yeti, holds an allure for many who dream of a place with abundant natural beauty, a booming food scene, and the occasional rain-shower. But once you've decided to make the move to Oregon, specifically Portland, there's one question that always rears its head - "How much are movers per hour near me?"
Worry not, my intrepid soon-to-be-Oregonians, for I have ventured into the heart of this dilemma and emerged with an answer. Just as Odysseus navigated the treacherous waters of ancient seas, I have navigated the less perilous but equally challenging world of moving costs in Oregon. Join me on this journey as I unravel the enigma that is moving in Portland, all while maintaining the candid voice you've come to expect.
The Hourly Tale of Two Movers
First, let's be clear. Moving costs can vary dramatically depending on factors such as distance, size of your move, and the movers themselves. So, like the Oracle at Delphi, I shall provide you with a ballpark range, but bear in mind that your own experience may differ.
Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere between $80 and $150 per hour for a moving company in Portland. This rate typically includes two movers and a truck. Of course, this can scale up or down depending on how many movers you need and the size of your move. More substantial abodes, like the great palaces of old, may require more hands on deck.
Moving Fellows LLC rate: Two movers, Labor only beginning at $124/hour (2-Hour minimum). Movers with truck, beginning at $145/hour. See our current price list on our home page, using tabs: Weekday/Weekend pricing and Add-ons for packing and supplies. (Last Updated: 03/05/2023).
For those moving to or within the city of roses, several factors can impact the hourly rate you're charged:
Seasonality: Like the tides, moving costs ebb and flow with the seasons. Summer months (June to September) are peak moving season, so expect to pay a premium if you choose to move during this time.
Location: You might be moving from the depths of the Oregonian wilderness, or you might be coming from a neighboring city like Salem or Eugene. The further you move, the more you'll pay.
Additional Services: Packing up your belongings, disassembling furniture, or requiring extra insurance can all add to your moving costs. Remember, even Hercules had his labors.
