I wouldn’t hesitate recommending The Removal and Delivery Company. Thank you. 5 stars.
If you do, you need to know a few things first.
Insurance is advertised at £50,000 content insurance but the small print says this is only up to £40 per item. This means they would have to break 1250 items and you would need to provide receipts for each item for this insurance statement to mean anything. And even then it won't cover any individual items of any value they break.
In my case they damaged a few things but smashed a very expensive lamp i had specifically asked there be very special care taken around.
I provided receipts for the cost (well in excess of £40) and comparative quotes for restoration to management. They said they would pay up to £40, and refused part-refund of any of the well over £800 I spent on their moving charges.
In fact, when I complained about the service I had received, instead of caring to understand what had gone on, the managing director instead was immediately defensive and just demanded full balance payment on completion and didn’t allow his guys to leave my flat until i had paid this, even though i wasn't happy with the service. It was very threatening and intimidating behaviour. "These are the terms” he said. So anyone thinking of using their service should also be aware of this: for the Removal and Delivery company the agreement only works one way and they take no responsibility for moving your belongings carefully.
If you must use them don’t move anything of any value whatsoever with them - even though they charge for that service. Get a man with a van. I thought i was paying for a properly insured professional service but i wasn’t.
I have tried repeatedly to resolve this with the office and receive compensation for the terrible experience and huge personal expense to me, but to no avail. They simply offer to cover with £40 which given all that happened, and how much it is costing me is insulting. So much else happened but these are my main issues. They bullied me into payment in my very own flat, when i didn't want to pay the full cost for the service as I didn't feel they had done their part of the deal properly. I have no idea why all the good reviews, my experience was terrible, most of all with management and their customer service.
One of the removal guys was perfectly nice and worked hard and was kind, I feel bad he has a boss and a colleague like that. The other was a horror and patronised me, ignored me when I asked him to stop when I saw him mishandle things - and worst of all when my lamp was broken told me 'not to be so attached to material things'. What a service to pay for!
