Tyson and his team were amazing! (I didn’t catch everyone’s names) they were professional, friendly, and kind throughout the whole process. I had my dogs tucked away in a room so they wouldn’t be in the way, but they actually told me to let them out and gave them lots of pets, which I thought was so sweet. I would absolutely recommend to anyone needing movers. They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Reply from the owner: Thank you Kelsey, this is a great share , I really appreciate the call to help!

Lightning Rubbish Removal was amazing. They did us a huge favour by helping move our art vending machine from our dining room to Bright Eye Brewing for Kamloops Art Drop, and we are so grateful. It was an unusual request, but they handled it with care, kindness, and professionalism. They really went above and beyond, and we highly recommend them.

Had the most amazing experience with the owner and team from Lightning Rubbish Removal who was recommended by my realtor in Kamloops BC. The collaboration between them and Sorted and Consignment, alleviated hours of extra time and effort on my part. The team worked nonstop and took great care of all my personal items big and small. Their packing skills that enabled my home to fit in a 10 x 20 storage unit shocked me. I would highly recommend their Services. I have 1 more move to go and without a doubt the Lightning Moving Services I trust to do the job. Thanks again to the team for all their efforts, I look forward to working with you again and would highly recommend to anyone needing moving services to hire this company.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gurjeet, Chris & Doug when they moved my 1 bedroom apartment a few days ago. They were super fast, efficient (watching their co-ordinated effort was a thing of beauty) and friendly yet professional! I was impressed at the fairness of the price for moving my extremely heavy furniture. I highly recommend Lightning Moving and Rubbish Removal and plan to use their services if I move again in the future.

Reply from the owner: Wow! thank you so much Danielle, I'm so happy your pleased with their hard work . Have a wonderful week & enjoy your new home

These guys were so careful with our belongings, and worked very hard and strategically when our rental turned out to be a smaller unit. They will be a first choice in the future.

Reply from the owner: Thank you so much Amber, I really happy your please with the hard work !

No wonder Lightning has all 5 star reviews. When 1-800-CALL JUNK brushed away my cry for help, this man said yes, he'd be by at the end of his busy day to help me move 3 heavy items. And when it turned out that family could do the job? He texted 'wonderful, glad it all worked out.' Look no further for a generous and professional service.

I knew Moving a heavy treadmill up 2 flights of stairs from the basement to my garage was going to be tough for any crew. Even with 3 strong guys. They did it efficiently and carefully- no damage to the walls or flooring. Now that’s top service!,

I cannot begin to thank the team at Lightning enough. I used them for bin rental, Rubbish removal and moving. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. They came through for me when I needed help at the last minute and with very reasonable prices! More than happy to give them a glowing reference!

Crew was able to come early and make the move and pick-up. Moved a huge treadmill and took away the old one and some old furniture. Treadmill was not an easy move in the least and much cursing should have taken place but they remained calm and professional. I'm sure we will be using their services again as we continue to purge the household.

Reply from the owner: Thank you so much for this amazing review, I'll be sure to let the team know right away !

Lightning Rubbish Removal helped us move a very heavy and large commercial washing machine and stock when we bought a local business. Despite their truck breaking down and the Covid delays, these amazing men still managed to move our equipment on the planned date. They handled everything with care and worked efficiently with a smile, despite a rather heavy job in less than ideal conditions. Thank you so much!

Reply from the owner: Wow thank you so much for this great review, I'm pleased everything worked out & your happy with our service. I'll be sure to share this one with the team ! Joseph

First of all these guys are awesome. They moved furniture to our new home, as soon as they knew what was being moved, they got on with the job in hand with a smile on their faces and cracking jokes. They showed a lot of care and attention to what they were moving which was very appreciated. They’re a very professional company, doing a very professional job and if you need anything moved, give them a call. Thanks guys.

Reply from the owner: Wow thank you Leon for this heartfelt review, I'll definitely be sharing this one with the team. Im glad we could help , have a wonderful day

I was very happy with how my move went. The two fellows that did the work were very easy to communicate with and they were very careful taking belongings out of storage and putting them into my home.

The best measure of a company is how they deal with unforseen circumstances. Joseph immediately responded to an issue and made sure that the move went as was planned. I highly recommend Lightning Moving. It doesn't hurt that they are the best price in town.

Joseph showed Customer service at its highest level. He was not referred, I just found his company on-line and phoned him and was sure happy I did. He wanted to see what I wanted him to move before he gave him a quote and the quote he gave me was more than fair. I know this because I phoned two different places and their cost to move my stuff was over twice as much. Due to my own disorganization, at the last minute I asked if he could grab more than what we had agreed upon and he did it without blinking. I said I would pay for the extra costs, but when I got the bill, he did not charge me extra. He was extremely thorough as he also came to my house to see if he could get the piano into my house before he agreed to do it. Everything was moved safely and he communicated with me the entire time when he needed something or wasn't sure of something. Nice nice guy. Very respectful and professional. He will be my go-to guy when I need other things moved in the future. Thanks Joseph for making this moving experience completely stress free!

Super efficient! We utilized the team to help us move and we'll be calling them back every chance we get. Excellent atmosphere working with these gentlemen, and at a price that was less than the uhaul rental I usually need. 100% happy.

Expensive. Last time I used this service I was charged over $600 for a 20min move of roughly 40 boxes that I helped load and unload 3 small city blocks down the road. Guys showed up 2 hours late with a dirty Uhaul truck, no notice of being late. The bill price was dropped repeatedly until they finally told me not to worry about it. When I went to a concert one night at a local bar recently the guy that moved my stuff spent half of the evening glaring at me from across the table too was very unsettling. I used to 100% support this company when they were reasonable and a nice friendly local service. Now they're no different then any other corporate money grab, prices are so ridiculously high.

Reply from the owner: Thank you for the feedback Gwen, I'll look into this right away . I'm sorry we had to rent a uhaul to complete your move
