Rather choppy as told last minute they didn’t have a Luton van- and someone else would be coming which was infuriating to be told at last minute! When the second driver turned up he-came in a t... See more

Dean and his team were fantastic
Dean and his team were fantastic, fast and efficient.
Good company and even helped us move…
Good company and even helped us move when traffic delayed him
Fantastic service
The guys arrived on time, with a good sized Luton van. They managed to load up very quickly and get everything to our new address and unloaded in amazing timing! We would highly recommend :)
This company is fake and has not paid…
This company is fake and has not paid its drivers for more than two years. To be honest, there are no drivers willing to work for them anymore.
Chris was so helpful and cheerful
Chris was so helpful and cheerful, he made the whole experience fun instead of it normally being draining and stressful
Smooth sailing
Edward unfortunately had a flat tyre on the way to my house but managed to turn it around and only come an hour late.
He was professional, helpful and everything went smoothly after that - thank you again!
Calm, polite and super efficient
Communication on the day great. It had taken us an hour and a half to finish off our packing between three of us -and we'd still be there now I think, faffing about, but when Aimen (our man with a van) came he took over and organised us into an efficient team; one person carrying to lift, one in lift, one in lobby etc...we suddenly got into a rhythm which saw all our furniture and infinite amount of laundry bags into his van in 20 minutes. He also - I am pleased to say - remained calm with the security guard trying to get him to park half a mile away. A smile and a promise to be quick (he was - and how) and the security guy was ok with it all, even urging us to 'take our time - don't rush'. Made light work of the traffic and the long drive between flats...helped to get bags and furniture off van but couldn't help us further as the agent wouldn't let us in as he was completing a 90 min itinerary at the new flat. Not Amen's fault that he couldn't finish the job and help to get the stuff inside. Overall, calm, polite and super efficient.
Des was great
Des was great. Got us from London to the Lakes in 4.5hrs! Friendly guy. On time, hard worker. Would recommend :)
Professional and quick
Professional and quick. Was able to move less than half a day.
Fantastic service
Fantastic service, really reasonable cost and I was a little concerned after booking at the negative reviews but our driver Desmond and helper were amazing, so fast, efficient and so careful, no breakages or damage to either property and they completed our move in less than 3 hours.

Service was not as advertised.
Driver did not communicate before…
Driver did not communicate before moving day leaving us expecting them not to show up. I submitted a support ticket around this issue and was never contacted in return. The driver showed up early with a van that was bigger than we booked and made us pay extra for it in cash on the day or they would not take our belongings. The driver was rude throughout the day and we booked the drivers 11am-2pm. At 11:30 they told us they had another booking at 12 so needed to be quick. They proceeded to complain about being late to their other job even though it was within our booking time. They were reluctant to put the belongings in the rooms we wanted because they were running late and would hit traffic for the marathon even though this was all still within our booking time. Would not recommend and would instead pay more money to go elsewhere.
Great experience!
Really fast and useful. Listened to us and was friendly.
Received 2 out of 4 hours paid for due to driver was 2 hours late,
The driver was booked for 4 hours, from 12 to 4 PM. He arrived 2 hours late with minimal communication, which caused significant frustration as we had planned our day around this schedule.
We finished unloading by 4 PM, but not all of our items fit in the van. I would have liked a second trip to transport the rest.
I requested a refund due to the delay and was given only 10% of the fee, despite receiving roughly 50% of the service I paid for. I later learned that the driver was actually free after 4 PM and could have completed the full 4 hours of service. We were not informed of this at the time, and the driver left promptly after unloading our items at 4 PM.
Customer service did not check the details of our case in determining the refund amount.
Zero stars - didn’t provide service paid for (raised dispute with bank)
Zero stars. Please don’t use this third party to book your house move. They have no contact number first of all, which is a red flag, and email you back a load of nonsense when you try to communicate. I’ve had to raise a dispute with my bank for the transaction as I was not provided with the services I paid for. They then gaslight you via various customer service people on email and stop responding when you come with facts and ask them to provide evidence of what they claim they’ve provided services for as allegedly they were in contact with the driver and staff (that by the way didn’t turn up). Please don’t use them, save yourself the headache.
Response to comment from MvV: I’m very happy to provide you with the email chain communication I’ve had with your “customer service” team. Just tell me where to send it as so far I’ve corresponded with two different people to no avail. I’m still waiting for a response for an email sent on 14th April but as per usual I’ve been ignored as no one is willing to take any accountability just gaslight me and give zero response to anything.
