Hunts International

We are renting in Spain at the moment get the keys to our house in 3 days and Hunts still haven't told us when we can expect our furniture to arrive. This is the latest episode in a very disappointing experience with this company. On the moving day a St George's Removals lorry arrived late without the equipment to move our piano, desipte prior notification.  That was damaged, as was a dressing table, as the men were in a hurry because of their late arrival and less than careful. It was 3.00 before they had finished and the new owners were waiting to move in. Despite plenty of notice of our moving in date in Spain they have never confirmed when we will have delivery and now with 3 days to go we have to contemplate sleeping on the floor or paying for a hotel. Shabby service overall! Would I recommend them? Not on your life!

My removal was for an eclectic load of stuff from my rural location in Herefordshire to an equally rural one in Brittany. Pick-up was easy and efficient - the men and van arrived exactly when they said they would. Delivery was the same. We were kept informed at every stage. We didn't have a lot to move - basically a load of big odds and s#ds - but Hunts were helpful in helping us to assess the cubic capacity, the price was competitive and they did what they said they'd do. It all arrived safely and was put where we wanted it. A professional, friendly and helpful service from everyone in the Hunts International team. Recommended.

Hunts successfully moved us from Warwickshire to North Yorkshire, at the end of last year. Competitive in price we were impressed with the estimator's understanding and attention to detail - we wanted to move a number of precious plants from the garden together with the content of the greenhouse etc.

Hunts were brilliant in packing everything the day before - staying to make sure that everything was done to our satisfaction and clearly labelled.

On moving day the crew worked right through with only a short lunch break, fitting the suite into protective covers, dismantling wardrobes and beds and carefully labelling screws etc. They stayed until everything was safely in the lorry and trailer, walking round with me to check we were happy before taking everything away to the depot overnight.

The next day they arrived before time at our new house in North Yorkshire and never a complaint about the 2 hour wait before we received the keys. Even knowing they faced the long drive back to Worcestershire, they took trouble to ensure everything was in the correct place and that all of the doors on the furniture were aligned perfectly. No breakages and no damage - all went like clockwork.

The professionalism of every one of the crew was impressive and I can certainly recommend Hunts to anyone looking for a reliable moving service.

I was generally very pleased with the service provided by Hunts International for our move from Leicester to Ireland. Darral was particularly helpful in scheduling pick up and gave me as much info as he could about drop off arrangements. The moving crew was cheerful, speedy and obliging. Access to our property was difficult and necessitated turning and reversing the lorry. This was carried out with the minimum of fuss despite an unfortunate encounter with a large rock in the hedgerow! I would happily recommend Hunts in the future.

I have nothing but praise for Hunts, and Lance in particular.

I have moved 3 times in the UK with Hunts, from the Midlands to East Anglia. At every step they couldn't have been more helpful.
I have moved from the UK to Puerto Rico and after many attempts to find a company who could assist and make this difficult trip easy, I returned to Hunts.
Lance put up with huge amounts of phone calls from me and was always patient. So thank you Lance, he went so far as to advise as to where I should get my boxes..
Everything that he advised happened, my 8 boxes were collected and delivered exactly on time as he said.

We have been impressed by the service provided by all the staff at Hunts. We had our goods packed by Hunts in the UK to be taken to storage, with subsequent delivery to France when we had found a house. All the removal staff we had contact with (8 in total) were cheerful, friendly and very efficient. This was our first move for 35 years and we were surprised by how quickly our house full of stuff was packed and taken away over two days. Everything arrived safely 3 months later (apart from one minor breakage), and was unloaded quickly despite 35 degree heat.

Service cost: £10000

I had a terrible experience with this company. On the day of delivery, the driver refused to carry the boxes up to my new flat (2nd floor), even though I had payed extra to Hunts International for this service. I carried the boxes myself. The people that transported my items was a Polish removals company, presumably subcontracted by Hunts International to cut costs. On top of things, the communication with the driver was close to impossible. Finally, Hunts International did not manage my complain well. Do not use this company to avoid dissapointments with your international removals.

Where do I begin? It first started off with hiring a company in UAE called Euromovers. It started off well with them when they came to visit and collect the goods, then my suspicions of a rouge company started to arise from the lack of communication. It took Euromovers months to even get to the stage of shipping my goods. ( I could go on for hours about how Euromovers were but I will end that story here )
The goods finally got shipped ( 4 months after collecting from our home ) and the container with our and other peoples goods arrived at port in the UK. This is where Hunts International came in to the picture. Well actually Hunts International were oblivious to the container arriving as Euro movers had not informed them and shipped it under their name. I later found out that the container had been sat at the port for weeks until Hunts had been contacted by the relevant person(s) at the port to inform them.
Hunts then stepped in to action and tried to make contact with Euromovers to resolve the fact that Euromovers HAD NOT EVEN PAID THE SHIPPING COSTS!! As you can imagine I was outraged at this point as Euromovers had seriously let me and my family down!
I was contacted by Lance Hunt from Hunts International and he had explained to me that he that the Euromovers had not paid the shipping line and many other parties. He explained that that they had paid the costs in order to get the container with my goods on board released from the port and to their warehouse. At least it was safe and sound at this point and not in no mans land. I spoke with Lance/Adam and Daryl along the way and they kept me well informed of the progress.
Once they got all the costs from the shipping line that the rats Euromovers had used and all the charges from the port, they contacted me and gave me the costs. As you can imagine I was furious as I had already PAID Euromovers for a door to door service. But I understood that I Had no choice as Euromover had completely stitched me up. Saying that I can not be more thankful for the team at Hunts as they have done nothing but help me along this very difficult situation that I hope that I never face again. I have been informed by Lance that some of the other people that had their goods on board are not so happy. I can only say that they must have blinkers on and more foolish for them for not being able to understand how they have helped us so much. Our goods would still have been at port building storage costs on a daily basis.
When I do come to move again, I will most certainly be using Hunts again as they have gone above and beyond the line of duty.
Long and short of this review is

Hunts International = Fantastic company that have gone above and beyond what was expected of them. Thank you for all your help from the bottom of my heart.
Euromovers = Lying, deceitful RATS ( they will go to court for this, I have since found out that the owner of Euromovers also owns another company that the police will be in touch with soon).
