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

Don't trust their reviews
Don't trust their reviews. I used a company with plenty of 5* ratings but they turned up 2 hours late and completely derailed my moving day. They've not offered me a chance to add a review to their profile so I've no way of adding this.

Excellent mover!
Driver was on time, very speedy and even tho we had help offloading he was very helpful. Highly recommended!
Excellent service
Excellent service, both men where very helpful and came at a brilliant time.
Very happy with how everything was done.
Great service
Dean was very friendly and helpful. The job was bigger than anticipated and he accommodated that.
Quick and efficient
Driver arrived early and packed the van very efficiently. I thought we might have needed two hours but we were done in less than one hour! Will definitely book again next time I move :)
Unsatisfied
We were not sure if our stuff would fit a medium van though we accurately had put in all the details. We received the driver's number on the day of the move after two cancellations during previous day. We had booked it for a longer time hoping that if there was some stuff left behind we could go in for another trip at an additional cost (we were moving only 3 kms away). The driver called up in the morning to request an early pick up and we weren't ready. We requested for an additional trip if in case there might be some stuff behind (though unlikely). He refused to accommodate any additional trip, insisted he will get a larger van and we had to pay him 40£ extra for it. When the van came, it did not look like a large van (we had previously booked a medium van and looked exactly like that) , some bits and bobs were left behind which we had to book a taxi for and still pay him £40 pounds extra for the supposed large van. We are unhappy with the lack of transparency and lack of service. I did drop a message to the app about the additional trip and heard back nothing as well.
Great guy
Edward arrived a little late, but it went very smoothly from there. What was most impressive was that he is an extraordinary person who is doing the service for charity. Was great meeting him!
Worst company ever
Worst company ever! I booked, it was confirmed, (4 weeks before move), the driver changed when I checked a week later, then I checked 2 days before the move and no driver was listed. I was not informed of this, and it was only me asking which alerted the problem. I got an email cancelling the booking 36 hours or so before the moving date/time. Absolute panic! Trying to find someone else at such short notice was so stressful, as our moving date could not be changed.
So stressful. I would NOT recommend this company at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Julian was brilliant
Julian was brilliant! The move was smooth and stress-free exactly what you want on moving day.
Really brilliant driver
Really brilliant driver - so helpful and efficient. He was careful with my things and the move was completed early! Very grateful.
Really easy to use service - and a great driver in Mariusz
Really easy to use service, and our driver Mariusz was great - very helpful and a great driver. Got us and our contents to our new home quickly and safely. Would use again.
Worst man and van I’ve hired
Worst man and van I’ve hired! Turned up and literally gave us zero help and was absolutely useless. Asked for help on where to place items in the van and in what order (as I had glass shelves and large mirrors etc) and he just said throw everything in. Then half way through us loading things in, came in to the back of the van (he was sat in the front seat the whole time) and started moving things around and kicking my stuff delaying so we would leave later and go over our time. Attitude was awful and would never hire again.

Very helpful
Very helpful, on time, nice and wonderful man,
Assisted in packing and unpacking, so amazing young driver, I will recommend 100 percent
Vitaliy was fantastic
Vitaliy was fantastic, arrived on time, careful driver and packed everything so well. I will definitely use him again in future and recommend him to everyone, thanks again.
Terrible experience
Terrible experience, the man I hired came late and left early. I complained to customer service with proof and heard absolutely nothing back. Will have to create a chargeback with my bank at this point. Disappointing
Aimen was really helpful and helped us…
Aimen was really helpful and helped us with moving stuff wherever possible, even though we didn’t request any help. We’ll definitely recommend everyone to go for it!
Worst move ever
Worse move ever. I booked 2h and the guys had only 1 hour for us. They throw stuff around and careless of the furniture caused many damages to wall, doors and leather sofa. I would not suggest this nightmare to anyone!
The driver changed the time 2 hours before arriving, very rude, while we booked 2h, he had just 1 hour free, he throwed stuff around and push through doors and stairs. I have now 2 doors badly chipped, stairs and 2 doors scarfed, 1 leather new sofa was scarfed while moving the lorry platform up. This caused almost £3000 damage to goods and newly refurbished property.
