1.0 out of 51.0
Having already paid them £1100, halfway through the move they emailed me to say we had to pay £1100 more, and refused to unload my stuff until I paid the extra. Four big men threatening to take all my wife's and my possessions if we didn't pay, and I had no choice.
The extra was £500 for packaging (a bunch of cardboard boxes and some bubble wrap that could be bought on Amazon for less than £100), and a three-hour 'delay' which was in fact caused by them not recording the fact that I'd told them that we would not be getting the keys to our new home until later that day, so they showed up 3 hours early.
On top of that, during the move they caused over £2000 damage to my furniture, including:
Breaking a clock
Tearing the material of a sofa
Staining an armchair by leaving it outside uncovered under a dripping pipe
Ruining a dresser with scratches because it wasn't packed properly
Breaking a coffee table by dropping it on the concrete
Other examples of their lack of skill and care:
They packed a kettle full of water!
When they arrived I showed them a box that must not be packed, that had the keys for the new owner - yep, they packed it, causing us massive inconvenience.
They knocked over a wooden speaker on the concrete, and luckily it wasn't damaged.
I raised a complaint over a month ago, and haven't had any meaningful response yet. I'll amend this review if/when I get a reply.
