Shredding
Easy process, good communication throughout and collected on time. Very happy with service received. Solved my shredding problem well.
Overall, the service was okay.
Overall, the service was okay, but they only received the two document sacks in the post, even though I ordered a data sack. I had to give hard drives to the driver with phones, so I felt a bit uncomfortable that they did not go in a data sack. Also, the instructions to return are not on the website, and I had to ring to get advice. I would suggest that when you send a sack, etc., you include instructions about collection or email when the order is placed.

Quick, efficient and good value
Quick, efficient service and good value for the peace of mind that document shredding provides.
Brilliant Service.
I was looking online for a company that would destroy some aged company accounts and numerous job files. I found numerous companies offered this but you had to go through the rigmaral of requesting a quote etc, etc.
I found The Shredding Company who offered various ways of providing this, I opted to use my own boxes and bags, obtained a good cost online and paid for it. The next day, I had a email to say they would collect to following day, a van arrived, it was collected and the next working day I had an email with a destruction notice. What a great service, continually kept up to date with all steps/stages. Brilliant! And yes I will use again.
If you need to shred, you've found the right place!
A pleasure to deal with - everybody is efficient and friendly. Easy to use website and ordering, with the bonus of being competitively priced.
Used for a one-off job to clear old archive boxes - let's face it, not everyone's favourite job to sort out - but The Shredding Company made it a painless experience!
10/10.

Very easy to use, affordable and I am confident the documents were destroyed sufficiently.
I will definitely use again in a couple months time!

Ordered a collection of 35 bags of shredding. The driver turned up on his own but handled the collection in a fast and efficient manner. He was very pleasant and helpful - highly recommend this service
Misleading web site
Misleading web site. They show the price of the paper sack for the items to be shredded, but don't show the total price until you add it to the basket. So a displayed price of 4.25 turns into a final price of 83.10. They should at least make it clear that the 4.25 price is just for the sack and not for the shredding service.
