I hired lightening movers for a 6 mile move. I sent them a list of all items I want moved and when they arrived, I walked them through all the items. I had also texted them to confirm that if they have space left they would pick up the extra boxes (of clothes and miscellaneous items) . When they arrived they packed all items really well but started loading the small boxes and miscellaneous items first. They randomly started throwing things in there as if this was their first gig. In the end they didn't have space for the items they were hired to move. They told me it would take a second trip to pick the remaining items. When they dropped off the furniture I saw that they already had some furniture in their truck which is probably why they didn't fit my stuff. In the end I paid 400 dollars more because they packed their trucks like an amateur and had other furniture loaded before they reached here. The guys were hard working but because of not knowing how to load a truck I ended up paying 400 more dollars. Wouldn't recommend these guys. Maybe this is their strategy to lie to customer and do multiple trips to cheat them.. read more

Lightning Moving - Movers Near Me

I love Lightning Moving! I have used them twice over the past 15 months and both times were super speedy and efficient. With 3 movers, the time really flies. Rogelio, the manager, was there both times to supervise and to make sure that delicate items were handled as such. Both of my moves took less than 2 hours, but I'm a single girl who travels lightly! They are punctual and professional, which I appreciate as a single lady. I had movers previously that wouldn't stop hitting on me... and then they knew where I lived! Not good. read more

It's ironic that I'm leaving a negative review on Yelp, because this is how I found these guys. I went with them because of their Yelp reviews, their availability, and the price. They charged me $95 per hour (with a $50 travel fee). It's a middle of the road price - They don't really undercut their competition with price. These guys are SLOOWWWW. I was originally quoted 2-2.5 hours for my move after giving them a detailed list of my belongings. Their slow pace wouldn't necessarily bother me had I not been charged by the hour. BUT, since almost all movers charge by the hour, my stress mounted until the time for payment came. It took 4 hours to move a (very well packed and organized, 100% boxed) 1 BR apartment 15 miles. It was incredibly frustrating. They cleaned me out. I tried to negotiate with them after the work had been done; I reminded them that they quoted me 2-2.5 hours. It almost got hostile so I just paid the money hoping that this dent in their Yelp status might make a difference. Hopefully it will. Bottom line - These guys are slow slow slow. Don't trust the original time estimate they give you. I have heard great things about 2 Men and A Truck from a few friends? read more

I'm pretty sure I spoke to every moving company (and random mover dude with his brother's truck) in the DFW area in the weeks leading up to my boyfriend's move. It was to the point where I could rattle off everything they needed to know before they even opened their mouths. Kinda ridic. A week before the move, I finally found Lightning Movers. Rogelio not only gave me the best, most amazing, almost unreasonably fair quote, but he was also the most efficient with communication. I got a detailed written quote within minutes of hanging up the phone with him, and he returned all my calls within moments as well. He actually showed up early with his workers on move day. They worked efficiently, and did a really professional job of wrapping all the furniture to prevent damage. My boyfriend was super anxious about the move because the last movers had damaged his coffee table and big screen, so he was planning on moving his TV, speaker system, and other delicate man-valued items on his own. But once he saw how careful Rogelio and his guys were, he let them move that stuff too. There was a minor mix-up about the "move to" address, but Rogelio was super fair and held up his original flat rate quote. We tipped them 40% and they deserved it. 5 stars all the way! Thanks guys! read more

I called 3 moving companies and one didn't pick up, one said they would call me back and never did, and then Lightning! They helped me right away, gave me an estimate, sent me an e-mail confirming my move, called me the day before my move, and politely called me 15 minutes before arriving at my place. Excellent communication! The two guys that showed up were polite and QUICK! They moved my 1 bedroom apartment in 90 minutes (including a 25 min drive time). I would definitely recommend them 100% and will be calling them again for my next move. read more

Lightning Moving will be my go-to movers when I move again! They were awesome. We had things in storage for two years that we had to get into our garage. The movers were very patient with me looking for our pictures that I wanted to take directly into the house with AC. They packed and unpacked the truck carefully, quickly and efficiently. The thing that impressed me the most was how well they unpacked and stacked the boxes in the garage so we have more than enough room to park and unpack. Oh...the best part...their prices are the best of any of the movers I researched in the area. You won't go wrong if you hire them!!! read more

On a recommendation from a friend, I hired Lighting Movers for my in-town move. I first had them stop at my work to pick up an old "Mad Men" tanker-style desk, which there was no way I was going to be able to move myself. They were scheduled to be there at 8:00a, and were there at 8:02a, They then drove to my old rental home, and then my new home (a mile away from the old place). The whole move took almost exactly three hours, and that's taking into account the 45 minutes taken up for going to get the desk. They brought a crew of three, and they were very fast and efficient. One mover was coordinating what was going in the truck while the other two were hauling things out. They also wrapped up my drawers in cling wrap and unhooked my washer/dryer for me since the hubby was already at the new place. These guys did exactly what I paid them to do, in exactly the time frame that had been estimated. The price was fair ($95/hour for a crew of three, plus $55 transportation fee), absolutely nothing was damaged (a first for me in an in-town move), and the crew was professional, prompt and courteous. You can't really ask for more in a mover. read more

Avoid this company at all costs. Hired them twice and the second time was a huge expensive mistake. Two bedroom apartment took NINE HOURS to move out and the job was NOT COMPLETED. Reserved a 3 person crew and they showed up with only 2 guys and a small truck. Because of that they had to make multiple trips which cost me time and money. In the end they Still did not finish the move and I ended up having to spend more days moving the rest of the items on my own. Ended up costing $950 and like I said, they didn't even finish the job. Almost a grand to move a small 1200 sq ft apartment. I feel scammed. Called so many times to complain and the owner avoids the calls and never responds. read more

We used Lightning Moving to move from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 1 bedroom about 30 minutes away. The price was $95 an hour with a flat $55 transportation fee. This was the same price I got from 2 other companies. My wife was nervous about having someone else moving our furniture because she didn't think they would be careful.. Quite the opposite! The 3 guys who moved us wrapped every piece of furniture in blankets and saran wrap. They packed everything into the truck tight so that nothing moved, even when there was a tire in the middle of the road on the freeway that we had to swerve around! The 3 guys also have been doing this for years, so it wasn't like we were just getting some highschool kids who just were looking for a summer job. They said that they had moved someone every single day for the past 2 1/2 weeks! The job took exactly what I was expecting time frame wise. It came out to right at $380 for 3hrs 15 mins. I had bought them donuts and water in the morning.. I was so incredibly pleased with them that I gave them an extra $100. Note that if you use a credit card over cash, there is a 5% fee. I would definitely recommend these guys if you are looking for a mover. I know that there are a lot of choices out there and that you are just picking one at random like I did, but I can tell you that this is a safe choice. read more

I had great experience with this company! After having issues with Dr Move I searched Yelp in finding movers with good reviews. I sent 10 requests and Rogelio called me the first and he sent the quote immediately. The other companies sent their quotes, but since Rogelio's quite was one of the best plus he replied to all my calls I decided to go with him. The movers David and Mitchell arrived on time and they were quick in moving staff. Also they moved everything without any scratches. I really enjoyed their hard working! I recommend this guys to everyone! read more

******************MOVERS BEWARE!!!******************** After reading some reviews on this sight, I decided to use this company. Major, Major mistake !!! I called the number and the owner answered the phone. I had to ask him for his name, and after finding out who I am speaking with, I ask if they are insured and bonded? He said that they are insured as well as bonded. I scheduled the moving of a 6000.00 dollar SNAP-ON tool box. I asked the owner if they had moved an item like this and he asured me they had! After secureing the moving price of the box we set a date. On the date of the move the movers showed up late! In loading my tool box I was not made aware of the policies that they go by! Real moving companies tell you up front and give you options for purchasing extra insurance which this company did not! The two young men loaded my tool box and we are on our way. Before leaving I asked them to wait for me to be there before they unload my box so I can make sure they lock the casters (wheels) on the box to make sure it doesnt roll! Keep in mind this is how I make my living everyday as a auto repair tech. When I arrive at the drop off point for my box, they did not wait for me and I found my box, laying on its back in the parking lot ! The company I am now working for has a digital camera set up around the building and the dropping of my box from a distance of 6 feet out the back of this truck off the lift gate is caught on camera and documented! The moving men pushed my box onto the lift gate and failed to lock the wheels, one man turned around , not paying attention while the other lowered the liftgate. The 550 lb box loaded with all my tools rolled off the lift and flipped upside down and landed on the back corner of the box on concrete! It destroyed not only my box but seriously hendered the ability for me to make a living! My box was in perfect condition and did not have a scratch on it until these unprepaired BOOBS destroyed it! To make a longer story short! I paid someone to completely destroy my box, was made an offer of being paid .60 cents per pound for a 6000.00 dollar box and I am sorry from the owner! I still have not even recieved what they have offered to pay for damage! So beware of these guys, fellow movers! Oh, and by the way! Look for the video of " How Not To Unload A Tool Box" courtesy of Lightning Movers on You Tube! Should be through with getting it ready to upload in a few days! read more

Do you want a great mover without the hassle? Get these guys! They are affordable and really are careful with your stuff! Can't say enough about them! They moved us initially from our house for a total home remodel, and then we decided to hire them for our move back into the house. Great guys, great customer service and I would highly recommend. You can call the week before moving and they will usually fit you in! Thanks guys! read more

I called around a dozen other moving places this morning and they either didn't answer their phone (sorry, I'm not leaving you a message; you just lost my business) or they were too much. Lightning was able to squeeze me in same-day and worked with me on the price. The two men who showed up were about 20 minutes late, but I'm OK with that since they were able to arrive with only a few hours' notice. They were quick, careful and polite. I'd definitely recommend them and would use them again. read more

Perfect move! The guys worked hard and fast to get my things moved but were very, very careful. What I had not wrapped already they took the time to carefully wrap in blankets and plastic. I had a lot to fit into a tight storage unit and they worked their magic to make it work. I've used several different moving companies in the DFW area and these guys are hands down the best! read more

Found these guys on a search engine the day before I had to move. They came the following morning, right on time. They were very friendly and professional. They moved all my stuff very quickly while being very careful and expertly fit all my furniture into a tiny storage unit! I would recommend them to anyone!! read more

This a great moving company, trustworthy, reliable and helpful.. I recommend Lightning moving Co.. 5 starts for sure.

Love Lightning Moving! They were excellent ! Timely, friendly , and very careful with all my "stuff". I will definitely recommend them to family and friends :) read more

Awful. Worst move ever. Quoted me 3 guys....2 showed up 30 min late. Took 5 hours to move 1 bedroom 3.4 miles into storage. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Movers were nice and courteous but "lightening" might to be the biggest exaggeration ever. With a crew of two, only one was actually bothering to come up the stairs and move items. It took them about 15 minutes to figure out how to maneuver my couch out of my living room, professionals these are not. Move took much longer than anticipated and then they ran out of space in the truck which means I was still moving odds and ends for hours afterwards. read more

Moved from a one room apartment to a house. They were ON TIME!! Moved everything securely and fast into the truck and off at my new home. The best movers I've ever had. I will definitely recommend them to ANYONE! Fast, prompt service is the key to their success. They were awesome! read more

Lightning Moving did an excellent job with our recent move. Because our house was new construction, we weren't exactly sure when it was going to be final and we were very anxious to move out of the apartment that we had moved to during construction. When we got the ok to move in, I contacted Lightning and they worked us into their schedule very quickly. They moved our apartment one night and then emptied and moved our storage unit the next day. It all went very smoothly and they were careful and respectful of all of our belongings and property. Additionally they are all so nice and easy to work with. They made a miserable job much easier! read more

Lightning Moving Company is a great service. They are polite, efficient, strong and careful. I had a bunch of huge fish tanks that they moved with ease. My family has used them four times and had great success. They wrapped and padded everything fragile. The only warning would be to make sure you know how many rooms, what floor you are moving from and to, and how heavy your stuff might be. I only had two guys show up and definitely needed more. However, they did the work of four, and with a little help from me were able to do everything. "Work smart not hard" they said, and did. Thank you to Lightning and we will use you every time in the future, read more

I moved from Kentucky to Texas and had to put all my things in a storage unit. I spoke with Rogelio from beginning to end. He was the first to contact me with a quote out of 10 quote requests I sent out. Him and as his crew were quick and efficient. They did an awesome job and were the best price I found. I would recommend them to anyone moving! read more

Rogelio and David were great. There was a minor miscommunication about the size of the truck we needed, but they upheld their original estimate and worked as fast as they could. We've moved a few times in the past 3 years and I can honestly say Lightning Moving was the best customer service and quality. They took great care of our furniture and were a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely recommend them!! read more

I give lightning movers five stars they were great even through my mistake of leaving you my information and getting my time mixed up they were courteous on time and very nice and was willing to take boxes upstairs set up the bed and everything so if you ever need to move I would say lightning Movers you get your money's worth read more

I used them to move from two different apartments to one house last Saturday. I had time window from 3-5pm, but did not get any call for delay of schedule. Therefore, I called them at 4:30 pm and then they gave a call back in 5 minutes and told me their schedule were behind but should be able to arrive my house in 20 minutes. Finished the moving in about two hours, which we have 35 boxes, two mattresses, and some small furniture. Good moving experience. Although they were little bit late from the schedule time, they were responsible movers with fair price, fast and hard work. I would definitely recommend them. read more

We have used Lightning Moving twice in the past three years - great service, prompt and very good communication. Took great care of our items both times we moved, would suggest them for anyone moving in the DFW area or wherever else they may serve. read more

I have used Lightning Moving 3 times since moving to DFW several years ago. On each occasion, they have been professional, offering fair quotes, and email confirmations with each detail included. I have a family of five, and am not a particularly easy move as a result. They have been timely, careful, and hard working each time. I'm on a first-name basis with several guys in their crew after so many moves. I have recommended them to friends without hesitation, and will continue to recommend them and use them as needed. I really appreciate their professionalism and work ethic. Moving can be insanely stressful. Lightning Moving has helped lighten that load for me each time I've had to go through it. The first move was into a third story apartment, and the second move out of it. Not one complaint. I have tipped them on each move as well since they've been so reasonable in their prices and worked so hard. I just referred them to a friend today, and thought I would write a new review. Thanks guys!!! read more

What a easy move. They were all very helpful and fast. They were very determined to get all the furniture out without having to take it apart. It was amazing to watch them move my couch (its a honker). I was very happy with the service, took 3 hours and it was $320, not to bad. read more

I'm surprised by the response I got from whomever answered the phone. Had an urgent situation, called and said the earliest they could have someone available was at 4 for the same day. I graciously accepted. He then quoted me $125 an hour in which I replied "that's ridiculous" and which the guy in a nonchalant manner said "fuck you!" I find this to be extremely hilarious, but also poor business practice. So, let's write a review. read more

I have to say that these guys were awesome and helped us when no one else seemed to want to. I tried several businesses recommended through yelp and one even completely stood us up! Lightning moving was quick to respond, their movers were friendly, and most of all they actually showed up when we scheduled with them. We needed our things moved within a day or so of calling and it was no problem for them! They moved all our furniture quickly and carefully, and even took it all apart and reassembled it with efficiency. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends and family. read more

We have used Lightning Moving previously and have always had a good experience. They showed up to our Dallas home with a 3 man team and packed our entire house in just a few hours. They carefully wrapped everything fragile, padded our t.v.'s and dressers, and had the truck loaded and ready to go in just 5 hours. A 7 hour drive later, they showed up and immediately started unloading. After a long and exhausting day, they were still very efficient and quick. We will definitely use them again and would reccomend them to others for their moving needs! Thanks Rogelio!! read more

I picked these guys because of the positive reviews here. But after dealing with them, I realize that all the positive reviews are likely fake. I booked them for the move, by the hour. They sent four skinny and/or short Hispanic guys, who took SIX hours to move a two-bedroom condo. They pretended not to have bubble wrap so they can charge you $15 for the old clothing wrap they used to protect your items. I signed the moving contract at 12:45 PM, and they finished at 6:40 PM. But they wanted to charge me 7 hours for the move. I refused since I had the time on my cell phone that they got to the condo complex gate at 12:39 PM. So they took my flat screen TV as collateral. I called 911, but they refused to help me. I talked to the DA and a couple of police officers I know. They think that those guys committed grand theft since the TV was bought for more than $1000. I filed a police report just to be sure. The boss is kinda aggressive, so I was reluctant to write this review. But now that I got my concealed handgun license, I am more ok with the situation. I guess I will see these guys in court. read more

I asked them to come earlier then scheduled, and they did which was very nice. Average service otherwise.

Fast, efficient, trustworthy, and hard workers. Hired them to load my POD. They sent 4 men instead of the 2 they promised, but only charged me for 2. They finished under 2 hours and did a great job. Responsive to phone calls and emails. Highly recommend. read more

These guys were AWESOME! I found them online and was hesitant to just go with someone blindly but they far exceeded my expectations. They showed up early. Took such great care wrapping all my furniture so it wouldn't be scratched and moved quick!!! They did a great job assembling everything at the new place and even took a tv off the wall for me. I would recommend them to everyone. The price is more than reasonable and they do great work!! Thanks guys :) read more

These guys started moving my stuff at 330pm and ended at 6pm yet they charged me 3 hrs of work instead of 2.5 They like to "round up" and down right lied that they started at 315pm. DONT TRUST THESE GUYS, THEY WILL CHEAT YOU. they tried to cheat my 70 year old dad and I out of our hard earned money. DO NOT TRUST ROGELIO! ! read more

They were on time. And very careful with all of my belongings. They are fast, efficient, and reasonable on price compare to all the competition in DFW area. Thankfully am NOT moving soon. But if I was I will call them again and again. Great guys to depend on. Thanks read more

I CANNOT STRESS HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO THESE GUYS!! After having all my sons cancel on me the morning of my move I took to yelp to seek help. I saw a similar situation happen to another Lightning customer and thought I'd give them a try. They were so helpful and speedy, I got the move done in two hours and half the price as All my Sons quoted!!! I'm so glad I won't be moving soon, but if I was I would call these guys again in a heartbeat. Not only did they lighten my terrible mood by joking with me but were very careful with my items and courteous! Thanks again!!! read more

After taking 3 hours on a third floor apartment, which is not unreasonable, they failed to use the freight elevator as it was meant to be used and instead had 4 men carry tiny items that should all have been loaded on to the freight elevator then unloaded from there which caused them to add another 2 hours to that time. It was ridiculous. Beware of what they tell you and what they actually do. I didnt even have 2 bedrooms worth of stuff, no couches or anything at all. read more
