I would very happily use this company again
“We have moved many times around the world, but this was our first experience of having to organised everything ourselves. We had excellent customer service throughout with the staff always ready to answer questions and help when possible. I could not fault the packers who were thorough and careful. There were times when I needed a hand with things that I was doing in the house and they were always quick to help me.
We had two containers a 40′ and 20′ to get into a house with tight access. They unloaded it all and placed furniture exactly where we wanted it. We had two pieces of furniture with minor damage so not bad for 548 boxes.
I would very happily use this company again and recommend it highly. It wasn’t the cheapest quote I got but in my experience that is not always a good path to follow. Their pricing was in the middle of other quotes.”
