The Yellow Van Company Reviews 1,504

I booked them to move from London to Essex. DO NOT CHOOSE THEM IF YOU ARE DOING A LONG DISTANCE MOVE. I chose Yellow Van Company due to easy booking options, supposed premium service and hassle free moving promise, however, my experience was very far from hassle free.
We had booked 2 movers, who were new to the company, however this was not the issue and they were trying to help us to deal with the situation as best as they could, we did have major problems with the head office though.
Once everything was packed in the van, movers were contacting head office to get the best route and this is where we run into major issues. Company policy is to not use any roads that require a fee. This was not communicated to us at a time of booking, which ended up being crucial in our circumstances. This meant that instead of using Silvertown tunnel, head office instructed the movers to use Woolwich Ferry, which, of course caused very serious delays. At the time of booking, their website estimates travel time and their total journey estimate was 50 min of driving. Instead, we spent over 1h just queuing for ferry and total journey time took 2,5h (because of waiting for ferry, we were also stuck in rush hour, which would have otherwise been avoided by taking Silvertown tunnel route). This was a significant issue as we had only booked for 4h (which would have been plenty if we had taken correct route) and this meant that we had to pay extra £120 for overtime, which wasn't our fault. They wouldn't release our belongings until this was paid. If we had known, we would have just paid Silvertown tunnel fee ourselves. Because there was such a delay with the driving, movers then had to rush dumping our belongings at the house to avoid further charges. Instead of paying a small tunnel fee, we were left with £120 bill.
All in all, this was for from premium experience that I had expected. I ended up paying over 600£ for rushed, unpleasant experience that left me in tears. I would suggest looking elsewhere for your next move.
I also want to add that movers were in constant communication with the head office during this and we overheard a lot of harassment from the head office aimed at the movers. Just want to add that that we don't blame the movers, we blame the head office. For our next move, we will choose independent drivers who have provided much more premium services in the past.

Punctuality on point 5pm, even made a courtesy call 20 mins prior to say he was nearby (so much appreciated as was stressed) Harry followed through special requests and was a true pro throughout my removal yesterday. Very well planned & worked efficiently for the hours I booked. Great guy, thank you again Harry 👍

Thank You

Neil was fanstastic, managed to get the job done in less time than booked. Would 100% recommend using.

This is the second time we've used The Yellow Van Company, and we had another great experience with them. Neil was on time, very efficient, professional and friendly. We highly recommend them!

Connor absolutely saved us today. He worked tirelessly to get us moved to our new place on only a day’s notice. Strongly recommend.

In hindsight, we should have booked the team for longer but the overtime surcharge wasn’t too terrible and we ended up paying far less than what other companies had quoted us.

We got exceptional service from Jason and Neil today! They were super friendly and efficient and made the experience really smooth and enjoyable. Thank you so much guys!! Would deffo recommend.
