The guys from Lightning Van lines were very friendly and did all my packing. All the movers were disciplined and courteous, they seems to be well educated. All of them had clean, proper uniform and was very patient. My neighbors did not get an inkling of my move, the movers carried out the process very quietly. They were cautious enough to avoid damage. Lightning Van lines helped me move safely.

I thank Lightning Van lines for their wonderful service. The price was affordable, though not cheap but at the end of the move, I really did not mind paying them. The attitude of the movers were extremely pleasant, they were very polite and gentle. They prepared me for my move in no time. I was glad to hire them.

Lightning Van lines has helped me move from California to Oregon . The planned the move to make it as smooth as possible. They informed me about the move and asked several questions about my preferences. The rep was very polite and knew the company policies very well. She explained me many things and also provided several information. The movers arrived 10 minutes earlier than the stipulated time. They packed each room safely and also loaded them in their truck. They also transported my car without a single damage. It was really a great move.

I have traveled and moved several times in my life but still I dread moving because of the immense critical preparation. I collected quotes from several companies and studied the key features of all the companies. I chose Lightning Van lines apprehensively but when I started interacting with them I felt little better. On the final day the movers arrived approximately on time and did almost everything. The movers were courteous and looked like gentlemen. I received all my belongings in proper shape. Thank you, guys.
