based on 53 reviews"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."
