In their own words
We regret utilizing Lile Moving & Storage company and North American for our out-of-state move. These are a few of the issues we encountered: 1) Poor communication. *When we experienced shipping delays, we communicated with Lile that we understood that these things can happen and our only request was that our point-of-contact keep us updated. However, this did not happen and when we attempted to reach Lile, they stopped answers our calls, voice messages and emails.
This review is strictly based on my interactions with the operations manager at this location. My dealings with two other employees at this location were pleasant. I contacted this location looking for assistance in reaching another Lile Moving and Storage location that was contracted by the government to move my home goods. I found the operations manager to be rude, dismissive and unhelpful.
Steady -- thank you for contacting us regarding your move. We pride ourselves on continuous improvement and I would like to take this opportunity to do just that. Can you provide me your name (or whomever was on the shipping documents) and the name of the individual you spoke with?
My family stored some things in Lile for about 5 years, and we moved out all our stuff a few months ago. At the Eugene office, the facility is good, the people are very nice, and the price is a good deal for storage in Eugene. The main problem is accounting and billing. Lile lost track of one of our accounts (did not lose track of our stuff -- we got all our stuff).
Thank you for using Lile services for the past 5 years. I will pass this information on to the accounting department, so they can fix your account.
Broken furniture and lost cherry dining room table chair, grandfather clock transported laying on its side (broken), dining room table rolled on its side (damaged), crushed television side, dresser corner smashed, cherry cabinet unit had 5 door handles sheered off, delayed destination arrival, and I could go on and on. We had more of our furniture damaged than that which made it safely. That's NOT an exaggeration!!! Thank heavens we took out the maximum insurance!
Hi Scott, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with moving. We would like to help rectify this, but we can't find your name in any of our customer records. Was the move registered under a different name? Can you tell me the dates of your move and your moving consultant's name?
MAJOR scam vibes. Read until the very end. I was quoted somewhere between 200-300 per hour, was told it would not take much longer than one hour, ended up being charged 800 because they took over 3 hours; okay, fair enough, sometimes it takes longer than you think. However this was because they moved more items than I had asked them to, and the increase in cost associated with the extra items was not communicated to me until the very end, okay, maybe that’s on me for not assuming that’d be the case, sure.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take 'scam' concerns very seriously, as we pride ourselves on transparency. We’d like to clarify the situation, as there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding our efforts to assist you. Regarding the cost, our hourly moves are based on the volume of items.
this company called with a confirmed time and then did not show up, and did not call. When I reached out to them, they said "oh misunderstanding, it'll be tomorrow." And then were late showing up that day as well! when they finally went and packaged our belongings for a military move our stuff was already being stored in boxes and totes in a shed. (Our stuff was packed on July 11th.) We were told it would be about a week or 2 before we had our belongings, but I just received our house goods today, on August 2nd.
If I could give zero stars I would. I used Lile North american moving to move from Oregon to Texas. The coordinator in Oregon was not very informative. She estimated the load incorrectly and came the day of moving to try to increase the price. She did not follow up with the move at all after that. I had to contact her to see how long you have to claim any damages. At first she told me 90 days. When I questioned her, she then said oh yeah it’s nine months.
Dear Tanya, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience during your move. At Lile Moving & Storage, we strive to provide professional and reliable service, and we regret that we fell short of your expectations.
If I could put no stars I would. We have never moved across the country, so we were trying to find the best moving company to help make it as smooth as possible. But this company made it the hardest and worst experience ever. Since the beginning there were so many red flags that it wasn’t going to be great, but we wanted to give it a chance I honestly don’t know why. We asked for a quote for specific dates and we did this 2 months before our move.

In their own words
We had an AMAZING experience with the team from Lile. They were extremely efficient, professional, and careful as they packed our house. Carey (Kerry?), Gerald, and Michael were a rockstar team that worked great together. They made us feel confident with our move and took so much stress off our shoulders. Carey labeled our boxes so thoroughly that unpacking will be a breeze! They answered all of our questions and were so respectful during the entire process. I wish they could do every move for us!
Thank you for your kind words Emily. I will be sure to pass them along to the team. Enjoy your new home.
The moving rep was responsive, showed up on time to estimate the amount of things we were moving. I answered through email or phone many questions. The driver and the crew showed up actually a little early on moving day. They did not waste any time. They packed all our possessions well, though we still did have some minor damage on some pieces when they arrived cross country. But minor considering the larger items that we were afraid would arrive damaged. They did not.
Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad to hear that everything went smoothly and as planned. Enjoy your new home.
Jana was extremely helpful with my preparation for my out of state move….from getting boxes boxes, giving me a reasonable price, taking away unwanted stuff, to returning my Xfinity equipment. Larry & Brian were careful and efficient in packing the furniture and were pleasant to have around, too! Delivery was on time and Larry & crew were,again, careful & efficient in unpacking & delivering to my apartment, storage plus to my son’s home. I am so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them.
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad to hear Jana, Larry, Brian, and the crew provided helpful support throughout your out-of-state move, from preparation and packing to delivery and unpacking.
I give Lile Moving and storage five stars for the work they did on our move. My wife and I are both over 75 years of age and we were moving from Oregon to Alabama. We had a list of about 6 movers that we asked for bids. After going through the due diligence, we narrowed it down to two movers. Lile and another mover. We had already purchased a home in Alabama and had to fly back to Oregon to get our furniture.
We’re truly glad to hear the entire process went well, especially with such a tight timeline. Clear communication, careful handling of belongings, and reliable scheduling are all things we take great pride in, so it’s wonderful to know that stood out throughout your experience.
