"When I moved out they helped me to move out in time. They arrived early in the morning and we were out by the due time. The new property was not ready so I had to use their storage for three weeks. They sent me invoices and I always paid in time. The moving in the new property I had different people of the team. One of them told me they were taking few minutes of break.. At the end of the moving one of the team called the office and they asked me to pay without receiving an invoice. They waited outside for me to pay but I told them I needed to have the invoice first like the did with the other payments. I did not like they waited in the moving truck for me to pay. I was paying them. They also decided to take five minutes of break when I was paying them. I had different people of the team when I moved in the new property and I did not like one of them. I felt he was upset working on Sunday when they accepted to work on that day. "
