    ****DO NOT HIRE - THIS COMPANY IS FRAUDULENT & A SCAM**** My initial quote was for slightly over $3000. As the movers started to walk into my unit, the lead mover was already looking for ways to overcharge me. He had me sign a couple of blank documents. I asked him what it was for, and he said "not to worry" that I was only slightly over the cubic metric limit. It was a sunny hot day in Los Angeles, and I gave them $400 in tip via Zelle, along with sparkling water as a gesture of gratitude as they left my building. Because I am new to Zelle, I did not know the app has "payout" limits. At this time, I also was unaware that "Rapid" Van Lines did not allow Zelle payments using a debit card. It would, later on, complicate things more than necessary. They had no problem taking my $500 holding deposit using my card but demanded wired transactions once the prices are hiked, towards the end. As they work on getting you to sign their contract, the estimator will mention to you a $1,000,000 insurance or will offer a "discount" but, you'll never know the discount ever existed because it'll get muddled into your "final bill" and there's no point in filing a claim because it is your word against theirs. You MUST understand that movers know they're dealing with distressed customers because any move especially, interstate moves ARE stressful. There is a psychological component to their business strategy. It was a bit heartbreaking watching it unfold before me with no one to turn to for help because the "manager" WAS the primary culprit. I wanted to support small businesses, but after this experience, I would rather pay more upfront for services than being nicked and dimed to death by atrocious greedy moving companies. It has been weeks already since I've paid half of my initial estimate ($1500 of $3000). Two nights ago I was given less than 12 hours to come up with over $5000, which needed to be wired "immediately", according to Jim Horky who, also goes by Jim Karrin. For the last month, this person yelled at me, called me names, hung up on me, being called repeatedly while I am at work, accused me of having financial woes because I refused to provide them with the full amount before they delivered. Would you feel comfortable forking over thousands of dollars in additional fees before your belongings even arrived? At no time in the last month did I receive an ETA when the movers would arrive with my stuff. According to my initial estimate, customers have the option to pay for cash or money order upon delivery. Two nights ago, an employee of "Rapid" Van Lines called me anonymously and told me countless stories of how they hustle customers. She mentioned something about a "shuttle" fee that most customers get charged with towards the end. She admitted that they had just recently targeted an "old poor lady" who had to fork over thousands of dollars at night on short notice. She also said that over 90/% of customers are also harassed by Jim, and I wasn't the only one this was happening to. Last night, Jim said my delivery would not occur and that my property is at a storage facility which they can't disclose to me. For me, money has never been the issue. What became an issue was their lack of transparency, the way I was treated, and the confession of their own employee who called me after hours because she had the decency and empathy towards me and my situation. Knowing that I will never see my dad's ashes again or my original college diploma, the family portraits, or my first ever Christian Dior suit I bought to see Oprah Winfrey, are tangible items that I must now hold dear to my heart. I offered the company to charge my debit account, pay by cash pay by money order but to no avail, they simply want money wired (more than likely for tax liability and because it's the end of the month and they need the money). Many of us in this country have been through the wringer this past year but I refuse to surrender and become another victim of "Rapid" Van Lines dba Relocation Moving Systems, LLC's greed, and unfair business practices.

    Terrible service. I contracted Rapid Van Lines in March to move my home from CA. to NV. The moving truck arrived completely jacked with multiple items damaged. There was a single driver and NO moving crew. The driver began dragging my stuff out of the truck and into the mud. Dropping broken things on the floor. I ended up having to assist him with all of the large items to salvage what was not broken safely into my house.

    I'd like to give negative rating but not possible. I found all my story was listed by other victims already. I hope no more people get scammed. Please be careful.

    This move happened during May 2021 to June 2021 when there were a tremendous amount of people moving in one direction (basically out of California).

    Very courteous, on time, respectful of property They went…read moreabove and beyond to make sure my granddaughter was all set between the storage unit, house, & apartment. Would definitely hire them again

    Our experience was rough, very rough. I can say this, none…read moreof them could listen. The boxes stated where they would go, they couldnt read. They asked each time where the boxes went, and when they left, none of the boxes where in the right spots. I could go on and on about how bad this was. (These kids/men) did not want to work, did not have any experience at all and literally had to be watched the whole time and didnt even listen to anything hardly at all. It really seemed like they did this on purpose, walking slow, didnt show up even with 1 dolly, we spoke about using dollies for heavy boxes, real heavy. They show up and didnt want to move them, because they had no dollies? A moving company with no dollies? They showed up almost 6 hours early and wondered why we are not ready. etc. The group of children we got, basically got paid huge to do very little. 1 guy spent an hour taking apart a couch that didnt even need to, and he argued that point for 10 mins. He also needed 2 others help to do this. We got it in through this hall with out taking apart, weve have never had to take it apart. He takes it apart anyway. (that was 200 dollars). They gave a discount, but really, they moved about 25% stuff compared to the last guys we used, moved almost all our stuff in the same time frame. This was just real bad service from people who really didnt know how to move or pack at all, some of them looked like they was 16. Making fun of us around the corner, talking on the phone, using phones while working, etc. We ended up having to move most all of our heavy boxes that we hired them to do. I caught one guy taking out a broom, he was gonna carry a broom the whole way to the truck. We hired you to lift and move the large boxes... i say... he kept walking and i had to grab it from his hand and tell him again, NO. This is not a heavy box.... I assume they sent newbies but really, we could have done it all ourselves better and faster. We should have. This time. Hopefully they hire people who actually care... We got a bunch of kids who cant read or write it seems?

    This was the worst move I've ever made. So much stuff was missing when they delivered. Some things…read morewere important things that can never be replaced, like the light that my globe that sat on it with my daughter's ashes. There were about 50 things missing. I should have taken items of important to me with me. Aaron was so informative & confident you were taken in. When asked about this he said they were packed & I hadn't emptied yet. An office chair? Would not be in a box. People be aware!! Mellonie Gruda

    A friend of ours recommended this business to us because she had used them twice & said they were…read morereasonable. We called Aaron & he quoted 4 hours to move us from a 2 bedroom townhouse @ Williamsburg on the Lake to a 2 bedroom Villa we purchased in Blair Hills. Aaron did not come to the move & sent 3 young men to get the job done. They were supposed to show up @ 9am & didn't make it till 9:30am but charged us from 8:45am, first problem. Second problem they didn't bring any tools to take the beds etc apart? I left to go to the new place & they arrived in about 45 minutes because they had to leave the plank to unload at the townhouse because they left NO room on the truck? They unloaded the majority of the truck using the Tommy lift on the truck, more delays. Our furniture gained a lot of scratches in this move & shelving taken to the basement was placed in the middle of the basement & all of the items on the shelves were placed on the walls where the shelves were supposed to go even after telling ALL 3 of them shelves go on the SOUTH wall not the middle of the room. Their truck left lots of rusted pieces on our driveway for us to pickup from the Tommy lift & then charged us for 6 hours instead of 4 & still had the storage shed to move the next day. I left Aaron a voicemail on his phone to call me ASAP but didn't receive a call till the following week! The 3 man crew came back the next day & took 6 hours again to clean out & move a 10' x 15' storage shed! Aaron eventually called me back & credited us for 2 hours but overall we are not happy with this company plus NO booties worn on our freshly cleaned carpet as stated on other reviews shown here. Next time I'll wait till 2 men & a truck have time to move us in their quality trucks with quality staff.
