I moved from SW Washington to Eastern Tennessee and had a wonderful experience. Items were all packed very well and everything made it undamaged. Both the pick up crew and drop off crew worked fast and hard leaving no damage to either property. Communication with Suddath was easy and consistent, emails provided useful information to help the move go smoothly. I would absolutely use Suddath again in the future for relocation.

We moved from Memphis TN to Missoula MT. The team and experience were fantastic from start to finish. Tom Stallard reached out and did an incredibly thorough video walk-through with me. His first question was, "What is the most important thing to you about this move?" I told him that it was to get our items moved safely. Everything, absolutely everything arrived safely, including some very heavy statues. Shelly, the coordinator, called daily to ensure that all was going well. The driver who oversaw the packing, loading and unloading had very professional teams that were not only careful, but polite, professional...and had great senses of humor and flexibility when weather dictated changes. I wouldn't move again without Suddath and our driver, Jeff Brown.

An appreciative shout out to Suddath for their handling of the last leg of my move from Brooklyn, NY to Portland. Despite the late arrival of my shipment, they made room in their schedule (not easy during the busy season) to minimize the delay & accommodate my needs. Bert and his team in truck #489 were terrific. Bert, along with Ean, Rick and Jesse arrived at the early end of the delivery window, which was very helpful. Efficient doesn't begin to describe their effort. They were fast, but careful of my things and the space they were bringing them into, respectful of me and one another. They were willing to adjust their pace to ensure that I could verify/account for everything and get it appropriately located. Bed perfectly assembled, all packing materials whisked away. Couldn't ask for a better delivery. Hopefully, I don't have to move again anytime soon. But if I do, Suddath - with Bert & his team - would be my go-to resource. Thank you all.

PORTLAND LONG-DISTANCE MOVING FAQ

Do I need valuation coverage?

Typically, it is a good idea to get some extra coverage on the items that you're moving, especially if they are high-value or expensive. You are automatically covered for $0.60 per lb., which may not be enough if you have higher value items. For example, if something happens a 10-lb. lamp, you’re only going to get $6 for that lamp, regardless of its actual replacement cost.

Learn more about valuation coverage for your long-distance move.

Can Suddath move my car?

Absolutely we can move your car. We have several different types of long-distance moving services available whether your car is a normal run-of-the-mill car, a classic car or a high-end car. For instance, we do have a covered car carrier, and then for the normal transports we do have the open-air auto carriers.

Moving can be stressful. What do you do to make it easier for me?

We take great pride in providing you with a great experience from start to finish. One thing we do provide is a designated customer service person, your Portland move coordinator, who will hold your hand from the start of booking the survey through to the end of delivery.

They will check on you throughout the process to help you through the very difficult and stressful process of moving. They'll answer any questions along the way. You'll also notice that when your surveyor comes out, the experience and attention to detail that they will have will give you a feeling of comfort. But that start to finish guidance is what we take great pride in.

Can my possessions be temporarily stored with Suddath?

Absolutely. Portland has over 200,000 square feet of secure storage warehouse space, which includes a section of climate-controlled space. Oregon typically does not require a climate-controlled atmosphere because we are a moderate climate. However, there have been some high-end customers that have asked for this type of service, and we are able to provide it to them.
