Simply Moving

When moving house Simply Moving were recommended by friends and we decided to ask them to undertake the move and this proved to be an excellent choice. From the first visit to assess and offer a quote through to the move itself Simply Moving were everything we could have wished for. Our sale and purchase was proving to be a very stressful time however Simply Moving relieved a lot of that stress with the service provided. From packing up the old house to moving into the new everything went smoothly. All the staff that we dealt with from admin to the removal men were friendly, efficient, professional and very helpful. We were very impressed by the service provided and would not hesitate in recommending this company to handle a move.

So, on a day when moving is already stressful enough, I paid for this company to move my items, provided an inventory to include full garage items, and paid up front the full cost prior to the removal. They started the process comfortably, but it all changed when they had to remove my garage items. He stated that some of my inventory, he assumed were my garage items. I stated, well it does say this on my inventory, which I can provide a copy of online if required. We then had a full blown argument as he stated that his assumptions were unfounded, and that a child could read what it clearly states on the list. He then offered to refund me pennies and try to insult my intelligence. I could not believe the cheek. This greedy company, do not deserve your money under any circumstances, and I believe the movers are probably overworked and underpaid, which is why they had issues with the inventory. My only wish, is that I'd have not paid them in advance. On your head be it, if you use this company. As much as I champion a business succeeding, I definately would not, on this occasion.

Shocked and appalled.

Despite visiting the property to assess the size of move, the small vans that arrived were inadequate for the job. We were supposed to have vacated by 1pm but the last load did not leave until 5pm. Luckily our buyer was very very understanding. To speed the move up, I agreed that some items could be deposited in a dutch barn temporarily, so that one of the vans could return quicker to collect the next load. They were then to move everything from the barn to the house upon return. As it was dark & had been a long stressful day, I took their word that the barn was now empty and everything was in the house. Next morning I discovered several boxes and many valuable items in the barn in such a state they appeared to have been pushed off the van. No doors & accessible to anyone who had cared to help themselves. I feel such a fool for tipping them when they had simply tipped my possessions. Other reviews are way way above the service I experienced so maybe I was unlucky.

You don't need to look any further than Simply Moving for your removals. They score top marks for value and service. Arrived on time and loaded up very quickly when moving my mother's belongings recently. The only hold up was in getting the keys to her new property - and that delay was at the solicitor's end. The guys showed great patience as they had to wait four hours at the other house despite only being a three mile trip (Moira to Ashby de la Zouch). But once they had access, they unloaded the furniture very quickly and the move itself couldn't have gone more smoothly. Very reasonable prices too. Give Martin a call and he will give you a quote, but this is a excellent removal company to use.
