Lightning Van Lines

I moved from California to Hill City, Idaho with Lightning Van Lines. I paid for a full service move and it was better than expected. I anticipated some damages and additional cost but they were all taken care of by the moving crew. Not only were they on time but were also on time to deliver and unload the belongings. They were all very helpful over the phone and were the same and even better when in front. Always hire Lightning Van Lines if you are moving from California. more

I'm writing about my wonderful moving experience with Lightning Van Lines. One thing I liked about this company is their rating in BBB and in-home estimate service. I called them for in-home estimate and they were here on time. I was delighted to see their in-home estimate process, which made me feel that they were the most reliable and honest moving company in this planet. I contracted them. They were very careful while handling all my items and made sure they don't damage my walls and floor. They did not loose a single item during the transit. Additionally they were the ones to call me and give the moving updates instead of myself calling them. more

We moved with lightning Van Lines. The contract was for a full service move because we neither have the time nor the expertise to prepare for a move by ourselves. We selected this company after speaking with their rep and checking the information on the website. The main reason for choosing them is their in-home estimate. The estimate was done very accurately. The actual moving cost was no more than the estimate, which was really great. The moving professionals were good with their skills and made sure the move goes well. They handled all my belongings with extreme care. The pick up and delivery both were very organized and on time. I don't have anything to say against them. They made my moving experience wonderful and the best. more

I'm glad to write a positive review for Lightning Van lines. They have not only helped me but also helped my 68 yrs old mother move without a hitch. She was very happy with their service and today I'm writing this review just because she requested me so. Both of us are highly grateful and wish them all the best for their future. more

I just moved last weekend and I used Lightning Van Lines and I have to say they were the best and most experienced moving company I have ever used. They were on time, efficient, careful, friendly and quick. Everything you could possibly want in a moving company. They really took the stress out of moving. I highly recommend them to anyone!!!! more

My last moving experience was not good so i was little hesitant to book service from any moving company. However it was not possible for me to get ready for my move without a professional help, so booked this company. \r \r Asked many people about the company and also did little bit of research. I also went through few articles about moving. The company talked to me sweetly and that was more frightening because every company does that until they have your stuff. \r \r I could not rest for a while when the moving company took away my belongings for relocation. I called them up from time to time and inquired about the belongings. Now the move is over and I tell you they did a fantastic job.\r \r I WILL ALWAYS GIVE THEM THE HIGHEST RATING BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY. more

I appreciate the hard work of the moving crew sent by Lightning Van Lines. The moving professionals were on time and they did their job perfectly fine. The guys already planned how they will process the work. So I did not have to tell them anything, I believe they were already informed about what they should and what they should not do. They were neatly and smartly dressed and were speaking good English. So I did not face much trouble while dealing with them. \r \r It is very normal that things break during a journey, so I was a bit over-concerned about my belongings. I told the guys several times to take care of my belongings and make sure none of them break during the journey.\r \r During the delivery I did not see the guys who came to move me. The crew that came for delivery were new but they were also very good. They told me to check the things properly. Now my move is over and completed unpacking them. But found no sign of destruction. that means all my belongings are in good conditio more

I called the rep for an in-home estimate but they found it very difficult to find an appointment for me because I was in hurry to move. that is because I wanted to avoid the payment for renewing my lease.However after explaining them my situation, they sent a gentleman. He was nice and very helpful.They were very understanding and did not charge me anything extra apart from the quoted price. my move was completed within the agreed window. I will strongly recommend them to anyone thing to move. more

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism, friendliness and overall service that I received from Lightning Van Lines recently. I took a chance on their service because the price was lower than the other quotes i had gotten. I'm not really the type to run and review a business online i just don't have the time, however i feel that this company did such a good job for me that they deserve for other potential customers to know about it. First off, my customer service person was very knowledgeable about moving, I've moved before and i know when someone is trying to scam me ...Everything he said was right on the money, from the weight estimate to the packing advice.When i finally did schedule the move with them, the moving crew showed up in uniforms, with a brand new truck that said Lightning Van Lines on it. The foreman walked through took a look at everything tagged everything, made a list and they got right to work preparing and loading. They did charge me about 40. more

This company moved me recently to my new home in Los Angeles. They were not the cheapest price, but i've had my share of bad moves so I figured i'd try these guys. The movers were the hardest working moving crew i have ever seen. They didn't stop once during loading until the truck was full top to bottom. The foreman was incredibly friendly and good natured. They were obviously very experienced, I watched them wrapping and handling some of my larger more fragile items and they didn't miss a step. They made it look easy, which is a feat since you don't hire movers if it's easy. I really enjoyed talking to the customer service person, they were friendly and knowledgeable about my requirements and they carry a very large insurance policy which allowed them into my highrise building. The operations personnel were also very knowledgable and professional. Overall this was an excellent move with professional and caring movers. Highly recommended !!! Pros: MOST PROFESSIONAL MOVERS Cons: MID RANGE PRICES more

7 moving companies contacted me and after online investigation, discovered 3 of them to be really great to move with. I further narrowed my search depending on experience and years of establishment. After comparing the 3 companies then picked Lightning Van Lines. they came to my house and packed the stuff and did not raise their quote. The delivery took 4 days and everything was just as they were. Would recommend Lightning Van Lines. more

I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and customer service provided by this company. The sales deparment was polite and honest about what to expect. On move day the movers showed up uniformed, on time and immediately went to work disassembling and wrapping all the furniture. They worked hard and i was surprised at how fast they were. Although they did charge me 20.00 extra to crate my TV, i thought it was worth it to protect my flat panel lcd. Out of 4 moves in the last 5 years, this is the best move i have had moving state to state. overall, i was very happy with the service, the personnell and the price. I would highly reccommend Lightning Van Lines. more

I did not have a good experience with Lightning Van Lines. I DO NOT recommend this company. \r \r My experience: \r The company's original estimate seemed like a good deal. But after the delivery, they charged me twice the amount of their original quote. So instead of $2,300 it was $4,500. \r It cost $4,500 to move a one bedroom!! The heaviest thing I had was a treadmill. \r I paid to have them pack my stuff. To be fair, one of the guys was great. He was very careful in packing. The other two guys were horrible!! They would open a drawer and just start throwing things into a box. For example, they threw my $500 radio in a box with shoes, a scale and other random belongings. And when I say threw, I mean they didn't organize the box, they just started tossing things in like the box was a waste basket.\r \r I paid extra to have them transport my stuff on to a smaller truck because an 18-wheeler could not get into my complex. \r The delivery person didn't read this on my contract. We had to remind more

We had to remind him on the day of delivery. So they were a day late because they had to rent a UHaul. On top of that they didn't call us to let us know they were on their way. \r What was broke: The leg of my treadmill, dining room chair, dining room table is incredibly scratched, wooden TV tray stand and bedroom TV stand. \r And I have some random things missing which means one of my boxes is missing/was never delivered. \r \r What makes this experience even worse is their claims service makes it a huge pain to get reimbursed for damages. It's not even worth it because you get .60 cents per pound and you have to provide pictures and have a furniture repair company come to give estimates on how much it would cost to fix. You have to provide those estimates to Lightning Van Lines. \r So basically if they broke something, you have to go through a long, time-consuming process of getting estimates. And if you have something that is expensive but not heavy that broke, you won't get anything for it. \r \r I will never use this company again, and I advise you not to either. Pros: Most of the people I dealt with were professional Cons: They charged twice the amount they originally estimated more

This is just a small note to inform people about the fantastic services provided by Lightning Van Lines. When I booked the service from Lightning for my move to Colorado, I promised my sales rep that if they are able to satisfy me through their service, then I will post a review for them. Hence, I'm honoring my end of bargain. The move was really good. Pros: Most Reliable Moving Service Provider Cons: No more
