"Easy to arrange the removals and pay the deposit. However on the day the first van was almost an hour late with no explanation as to why. They then charged me an extra 180 on the day stating that the job would take longer than expected. They also said that they needed me to pay by bank transfer the remaining balance before they started unloading which I couldn't do as I didn't have my card reader for my online banking. I felt pressured and ended up having to have someone else pay the balance.However the guys on the day were polite and respectful and managed to squeeze the items into the storage locker well."

When only 2 trucks arrived and i knew straight away that all our goods are not going to fit in. I reported that to the office but they said there will be extra charges. They said they have made a mistake but i still have to pay. Workers on that day was great but didn't finish unloading till 10 o'clock at night. I have to hire another truck to finish the move and drive myself.As it was quite late so company charged me for late finish, no fault of me, but costed me extra.I was not happy and got really frustrated. I justed wanted them to offload and go.I will not fully recommend this company.
