I was very satisfied with our first move using Swift Moving, so I trusted them again this year. However, I had the worst experience ever! 1. We had previously selected two movers, but the one who arrived was extremely thin and small. We really wanted the same mover from last year, who was incredibly strong and efficient. [This new mover urinated on our toilet, didn't remove the seat, and urinated everywhere, without cleaning it up!] I was furious when I saw this in the bathroom; it was disgusting.

When did you move? We don't think we've ever served you before.

This moving company is extremely irresponsible. If you don’t want your items to be damaged and then ignored, do not use their services. I asked the owner from the very beginning whether their company had insurance or was a reputable company, he said yes, which led to the following experience. The first two photos are of the BBQ taken on the 15th, and the following ones show the condition of the stove after the move on February 19th. He should be clear about what his insurance covers.

They weren’t being professional and efficient. It was about time but no one else. After I phoned them to know they would be 20 mins late. They suggested me reserve the earliest time period of moving out(9am-12pm), moving in(11-1pm). The moved-in condo is just in front of the moved-out condo. I had checked with them several times that should I move time period (moving-in) up in 1 hour and they refused it. During the moving, they wanted me to check with move-in concierge if we could bring forward the time period.

DO NOT USE this moving company. Used this company to move this year and the owner is very unprofessional. They don't take any responsibility when they damage your furniture and his insurance policy does not cover damages. AVOID AT ALL COST or you will regret it.

The move caused some bumping and knocking against the bed and table, and the movers even used the toilet in our house without asking or getting our permission. What's most infuriating is that they didn't lift the lid, leaving urine all over …

When did we move you? We're off today, why would we provide moving services? I'd like to know who you are?

I arranged the delivery service through Lightning Moving. The morning to move, 20 min past the service time, no truck showed up and I had to call them to find out that the truck had issues and can't come. They tried to call a friend and …

The master packed a few items and went down the elevator, making many unnecessary trips. Compared to the master I hired last time, he was slower and took longer.

This moving experience was excellent! The staff were very professional, arrived on time, and worked efficiently throughout the process, handling the furniture and belongings with great care. Communication was smooth during the move, and their excellent attitude made the otherwise stressful move much easier. Everything arrived safely without any damage. I am very grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone needing moving services!

I highly recommend Lightning Movers! Their moving service in Toronto is truly outstanding. They not only helped us smoothly transition to our new home, but also went above and beyond in many aspects. Their team members are professional, efficient, and incredibly friendly. Throughout the entire moving process, they packed and transported with astonishing speed, and everything was organized in a way that gave me great peace of mind.

I needed to move after returning from China, and I saw this store on Google with great reviews for a lot of furniture. The workers were excellent, so I booked one for me. They packed and moved everything for me, which was very convenient and took only two hours to complete the move from one house to another.
