They were machines!Non stop up and down taking our boxes and putting them in the van then unloading into our designated rooms at the other end. Everything was put into the right rooms.We had 1 breakage throughout our move and that was only 1 wine glass which my own fault for packing them like an idiot! Everything was handled with care and I could not fault them at all!Moving is expensive full stop but SO worth it to have this company do it for you.

"The quotation was very competitive and the sales guy very assuring, they took all the details and we went with their advice on vans/boxes etc. I would not use again for the following reasons: 1. Prepacking - they arrived at 3pm the day before the move as opposed to the 9am 2. The didn't have enough boxes to pack all our stuff in so bought more on the day we were moving. 3. They were short staff, had I not been packing and loading the van we would not have been out in time 4. They didn't have enough space in their lorries to accommodate our goods so we were not completely moved out in time and had to pick up the rest at a later point 5. Half way through unpacking they stopped and demanded payment of the balance of the moving costs. This was very aggressively done and they were clear they would not unpack anymore until the funds were received. 6. A number of items were damaged and despite saying they have insurance, I have never been able to receive any payment. I have phoned and sent numerous emails. "
