  Well I had my third move with Elephant Removals Company and they did an amazing job once again.
  
  They were on time, great guys that moved me, very nice and friendly.The guys are always quick, they know their job and did it well. Nothing was broken.
  
  They place everything in your new home nicely and that is great for me because I have very heavy furniture, they go the extra mile for you.
  
  I feel lucky I to find Elephant Removals from London, they have a great customer service! There are a lot of shady moving companies out there but with Elephant Removals you will never have to worry about anything.
  
  They will handle and manage your move for you.

  Best Relocation Experience.
  
  I have moved with other moving companies before, however the packing and move experience with elephantremovals.co.uk was certainly tremendous. The movers arrived well within time and were polite and very helpful despite the unsuitable weather conditions.
  
  I will not hesitate to recommend Elephant Removals to anyone searching for an affordable yet professional removal company.

  Distinguished Service.
  
  As I was moving abroad due to work, I had to find a reputable distinguished removal firm who can manage my packing, removal and most importantly store my items safely until I return. I found Elephant Removals to be very helpful, got an instant quote which I accepted it and booked my packing, removals and storage. I found Elephant Removals teams to be efficient, reliable, professional and very economical. Highly recommend them.

  Great service, recommend!
  
  I have used the Elephant Removals for the first time a few days ago and totally recommend it! I booked from one day to the following day (so very short notice) and everything went perfect. The salesman and the handler were both very nice and helpful. The handler arrived on time and was careful, efficient and organised with my stuff. After the service was done, the same salesman who answered my call the day before contacted me in order to check if everything went ok with the removal service, which shows that the company cares about their customers and is committed to providing good services.
  
  Last but no least, the price was good and competitive (cheaper than other companies that I have seen).

  What a pleasure! The guys had a little problem with the Van on the way up but apart from that they were brilliant. They moved my daughter previously and i noticed how efficient they were so booked them again. Would definitely book them again.

  2nd move in 18 months.
  
  Elephant Removals moved our offices for the second time in 18 months and again everything went smoothly & quickly. They arrived on time & started promptly and seemed not to slow down all day. A good service at a good price. Oscar & his guys did exactly what we needed them to do. I have recommended them to friends. Will use again when needed.
- They worked extremely hard all day long and completed our move without any problems.

  They worked extremely hard all day long and completed our move without any problems. They moved all our possesions without the slightest damage and with the bigest care.
  
  All our furniture has been dismantled and reassembeled, and it looks exactly as before. They palced all our stuff where we wanted.
  
  I would definitely recommend Elephant Removals.

  Dishonest.
  
  On Friday 21/8/15 we used this company. After two quotes we choose the expensive one, because we had more items. So the day when we moved , Elephant removal sent the wrong lorry which not enough room. I had to hire a van which costs me 75£ more, and when I phoned them and they said don't worry do that and we will pay the money back. I emailed them with the extra cost . And they never did it . .
- the van that turned up was too small

  Use another removal firm!
  
  My experience with Elephant can be summarised with the below (summarised) email I sent to them after the fact. In summary, they were late (I was charged by the new owners of my property as we were 4 hours late moving out!), unorganised (didnt seem to understand that everything required packing and required my husband to step in and help), unprofessional and showed a complete lack of customer service throughout. They even passed a comment about tea breaks when there were two hours of the day when they were waiting for packing material! Our response to the below was a 100 pound deduction from the bill. They have since ignored all emails from us seeking compensation for damages to a dining table and a radio. I can only assume they have no insurance policy in place.
  
  Booking of Elephant Removals - I asked whether he needed to come round and assess the inventory so we were sure to get the right size removal vehicle. He did not deem this necessary - and consequently the van that turned up was too small. On discussing whether Elephant should pack all our belongings on the previous day or the same day, I was told either approach was possible - we were four hours late moving…

Moved from 2 places into one.
