I have had the opportunity to self move many times. When it comes to packing a large moving van Thunderhorse Moving was exceptional. We had to drive up and down mountain ranges to our next home and nothing shifted or was damaged due to their packing. They arrived early, prepared and worked very hard. All of the movers that were associated with our my were amazing. Not only would I use them again, I recommend them over anyone else in the LA Metro area.

Mover's response:
Thank you for taking the time to reviews us Jay. We are happy to hear that you and your belongs maid it home safe.
Thank you using our service.

Jorge and Devon were awesome! They showed up ready to work and eager to help. They had to move large pieces of furniture through tight spaces and made it all look effortless. They even assembled a complicated bed frame for us.
We will definitely be using them again... highly recommend Thunderhorse.

First I had to move the time because uhaul could not get me a truck in the morning as expected. Jorge was very accommodating.

The two helpers showed up perfectly on time and as expected. The two young men were enthusiastic, polite and professional. They even had additional supplies with them and charged a very fair price for them. They packed the truck SUPER tight and the loaded items showed up to the destination intact, except for one ikea table that was over loaded. No big deal.

Overall very happy and with his accommodating company. Would hire them again for my next move... hopefully not!

Mover's response:
Thank you feed back MAX, it was a pleasure to help. we will be looking forward to help you again if need It.

(5) 6/11/2019 Lancaster

The four movers (including the owner of the company) arrived ten minutes before the scheduled window, giving us time to go over what needed to be packed. They brought extra moving supplies (which I needed because I underestimated the size of the job) and their own tools to take apart cribs and bookshelves. They worked very hard and took good care of my furniture. They were honest as well; they could have easily taken the money from my son's piggy bank that I had forgotten to pack away, but instead they handed it over to my mom and asked her to make sure I received it. I've worked with other movers in the past who were shady and would have definitely taken that money. Not only would I use them again, but I am scheduled to use them again and am very happy to do so!

Mover's response:
It was a pleasure to assist you today Hollie, we are here to help you with anything you may need.
Thank you for choosing our service.
We apreciate the work!
