      From Madrid to London - avoid them at all cost.

      I should have searched for reviews before hiring them, but too late! They seemed all ok until the collection. They took all the money upfront. Collection was suprisingly on agreed date and almost time slot. But since then it's been a nightmare. The agreed delivery date has long been missed. They would never call back. I keep calling the movement coordinator, who is next to useless. All he does is apologises and promises to call back with the new date, which he never does. So you end up chasing him daily for delivery date which he doesn't know. Typical story - they truck broke down. Their tight schedule doesn't allow to easily rebook on another van. They seem to be working with other companies, as he made a call on second line while I was hearing, to find out where is my stuff. His manager is even more useless and won't remember your name the very next day. It's been 3 weeks since collection, over a week since firmly agreed delivery date, and I still don't have a realistic date they will deliver. Please avoid them!!

      Extremely Poor Service.

      Stay away. They are dishonest with their quotes. They will quote you a standard 8-12 week delivery but in reality will take your stuff and wait until the container fills up - they won't tell you this or update you. I was shipping from London to LA, they took my stuff in Sep17 and are estimating end of Mar18 to clear customs. If you feel that you don't want your stuff and don't like communication then this is the company for you. Never again.

      Move from france to Australia.

      I was really happy with the pre-removal service I received. I was very, very unhappy with the arrival of my goods! 2 Antique chairs, wrapped By Movecorp and so covered by their insurance for breakage arrived with legs snapped clean off the body and arm rest also! The cardboard boxes each had their corners ripped open by the shear weight placed on top of them or by throwing them from a great height along with my chairs! When it came to claiming insurance, it was a long wait and finally they will pay only the value I had listed as a replacement cost of one chair ($350) not the cost it will incur to have a professional antique chair repair person repair the chairs to original condition! ($1990). Beware- put a much higher value on the items you ship and be prepared to loose a lot of ceramics to breakage - I also lost 13 ceramics pieces dearly collected from 8 yrs of living in Europe!

      Damaged goods.

      I wish I had visited this site before arranging my removals. I can echo some of the other reviews. My move started with a simple house to house locally but the purchase fell through just as we were packing to leave so the goods had to go into storage for about 2 months while we found another house. All was going well until the men arrived with our goods. They greeted us by saying "there is a lot of damage". Item after item came out damaged - furniture broken, lamps broken, tables and chairs broken, crockery broken, my telescope broken and bits missing. My wife's clothes supposedly in wardrobe boxes had been packed flat and stored upright hence all tangled and creased. Then half our settee and chairs were missing and had to be found at a later time. I took photos of all the damaged goods for the record.

      My mistake and I warn others now, was that I assumed there was some sort of insurance cover at least a minimal from the movers side but as I hadn't filled in a full and valued inventory list I had no insurance and during our time in storage my house insurance had lapsed. I was told that - tough I was not insured. They offered some minimal compensation but I was still pursuing the…

      From Apprehensive to Superb.

      Movecorp moved us from London to Normanton on the Wolds, Nottinghamshire on the 3rd October and I will admit I was apprehensive about this company after reading some of the reviews but all I can say is that they were SUPERB. We had a 3 bed house plus 2 childrens worth of clutter, which equates to quite a lot of stuff or rubbish as my wife says. James Mallett at Movecorp gave a spot on estimation, covered all the terms and conditions to our understanding and was an all round nice guy to deal with. The truck arrived on time, was loaded and away in next to no time and all done safely and expertly. The lads, Nick and Craig, were hard working, courteous, even when struggling to get our huge bed upto the third floor, no Nick it would not have looked good in the garage, nice try though, and very honest.

      Movecorp - Fantastic Service & Value for Money !!

      Well, my husband and I were dreading the move to France but have to say, it was all unnecessary worry.

      Our move was stress free from start to finish. We received outstanding customer service & great value for money in comparison to other leading companies who quoted us!

      Our move co-ordinator, James Mallett was helpful from start to finish of our move and understood all of our needs.

      On the removal day, the Movecorp Crew that collected were extremely helpful and patient, especially with me, as I was to say the least very anxious and stressed about the whole move.

      We used the Groupage Service which James recommended and our goods got to us within 10 days which tied in perfectly with our plans.

      I would without hesitation recommend Movecorp to all family and friends and would definately use them again should it be necessary.

      Midlothian to Turin.

      Just like to say a big thank to the Movecorp staff after our recent move from Scotland to Italy. The removal team were polite, listened to what we wanted and were very hardworking, we did keep the tea/coffee/pop and biscuits flowing all morning so that may of helped? Friends of ours had used them before and said how pleased they were so we gave them a try and I am glad to say that they were brilliant. Their packing service was excellent, took a lot of the time and effort of us and was well worth the little extra.All our possessions were well looked after and arrived in Turin, on the 13th day after collection as promised, with no breakages and a smile and thank you from the driver as the van left. Like our friends, we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for an excellent removal company.

      Will we receive our goods ??

      We have retained your services to move our goods (8m3) from Grenoble (France) to Boston (US).

      At first you were supposed to come and pack our goods on the 1st of september. But you cancelled and ask for the 4th.. It wasn't convenient for us but we accepted. The "team" was scheduled between 10 and 11am. At noon our contact person started to become hard to reach by phone and email.. And finally at 5pm, a friver arrived, alone with his truck, and nothing to pack.. So we had to do the packing ourselves (because as we paid for that service we expected that you would pack the goods !!).

      Then our contact tried to rip us off by arguing that we had too many goods and then we couldn't apply for a reimubursement for the lack of service.. But we had taken pictures and had proofs that we had less than 8m3..

      Now that the goods are in London, no news from our contact. We ask for updates et for the reimbursement of the service not provided, but nothing.. And today, we receive a mail about a 100£ reimbursement because it will take "a while" for our goods to arrive.. All our furnitures are on the container, so as we are moving soon for an unfurnitures appartment (end of november, that left you…

      Rome to Vienna relocation.

      An international move is a stressful experience, but having relocated multiple times over the years from different continents, I felt Rome to Vienna ought to have been a smoother ride. Not so with MoveCorp.

      The person who coordinated my move seemed to give up once my boxes had been collected - a process which took hours, although I had my relatively small load professionally packed in advance.

      Once I contacted the company with my new address, having paid for a storage service and used up my limit on this, I was assured my belongings would reach me within a week. I planned around this to ensure I could be around once they arrived - not easy given I moved to take up a new job. This date came and went with no contact from MoveCorp. That's despite

      the multiple attempts I made to contact the agent - resulting in expensive phone bills to top it off. It seemed she actively ignored my correspondence and calls. Two more weeks passed, my boxes were delivered at a different time with four items missing.

      To summarize the rest of my experience: it involved my own interventions to locate my missing belongings, numerous delays, flexibility on my behalf and my MoveCorp agent proceeded to…

      Very poor communicators.

      I moved from the UK to the USA (the drop down is not allowing me to put in the right destination). The pickup was two hours late and I wasn't called. The boxes are now anticipated at  15 weeks until delivery. Yet, they never contacted me and when I contacted them (at about 7 weeks) I found out for the first time that the shipment was still in the UK. I was then told that it was going to be loaded next week. When I contacted them at 9 weeks I then found out it had not been loaded. I then complained about lack of communication and got an email back that did not address those concerns but simply said that the shipment would be made within the original estimate of 8-12 weeks. A week after that email I got another with an estimated deilvery date of 15 weeks. I can only hope that it will come then. I understand that these delivery times are just estimates, but I would expect that when the shipment is going to be outside of the estimated time they would be eager to communicate at each step. The price was fine - within the range of all the movers I contacted - at the low end. .

      Moving made easy.

      MoveCorp was great from the start. Easy to obtain a quote and book services. Love their offer of free used box pick-up - talk about saving money on your move! We must have taken 40-50 of them, and have paid it forward by dropping them back off again. On the day of the move, our 3 guys showed up, navigated our tricky city side street and moved our 2BR 2BA plus basement storage unit to our single family home in the burbs. The truck was packed safely and securely, with furniture wrapped in blankets and taped, items secured. Everything made it to their respective room/location as directed in the new house, and all in one piece and undamaged. All in, from the time they left their warehouse until we signed off on the final paperwork, this was done in just about 6 hours. They were fast, professional, and personable! I would recommend them over and over again. Moving is a headache, and expensive. I've done it a dozen times, and after this experience, would never do it on my own again. MoveCorp all the way!

      North Baddesley to Frankfurt.

      Got some spare time in the office, at last, and finally got round to doing your review James. What can I say? You have obviously got faith in your company to email clients and ask them to do this and that faith is well founded. Our move from North Baddesley to Frankfurt was flawless, your company did a fantastic, friendly, professional removal and did everything you could to move our things safely and on time. The whole move was done reliably and fast, transport was on time at both ends and the negotiated price was the paid price. I would recommend you to anyone seeking a great, caring, reasonably priced removal company. Many thanks.

      We have booked MoveCorp for our move to Zurich from London.

      Our experience was great. Our moving coordinator, Emma was very helpful and she dealt with our inquiries in a timely manner. A big thank you for her help!

      The crew that was assigned for our job was very professional and packed everything so well that nothing was damaged.

      They were able to answer all our questions and give us tips as well.

      Overall, I truly recommend MoveCorp for their professionalism.

Really bad.

Really bad! One month late for the delivery but the worse is they lost (or someone stole it) one of my suitcases with things I brought back from different countries (souvenirs) and I could never have back… So disgusted.

Sad day but brilliant service.

Everything has to end but what a sad day when I had to leave my home in Chatillon to return back to the UK. Still five years boarding and partying was awesome and now back to reality.
You Movecorp lads made it a bit easier by being down to earth and wanting to listen to my tales. What a proper removal should be like, on time and ready to go. Guys were great no rushing around everything in its place, wedged and strapped and everything went like clockwork. I can’t believe the great price and keep expecting another bill to arrive..only kidding. Keep up the good work.

A three legged donkey would have been faster.

A three legged donkey would really have been a faster way of transportation.
EVerything seemed well in the inital contacts with this firm. The customer service were friendly and gave a professional impression. then problems started..
A little while before the pick up date, after I payed the cost for the moving itself, they started chasing me for signing up on additional insurance for my boxes. It turned out that the included insureance only covers values up to 40£/box! (must have been somewhere in the small print). To insure the full value of my stuff, I would have had to pay an additional insurance of 750£. I decided to risk it and not sign up for the extra insurance, now being very nervous after reading the online reviews for movecorp.
They could not give me a delivery date, but after much chasing from my side, they said that the items would arrive between 1-2 weeks after pick up date. TIme passed, and they finally delivered the boxes after 5 weeks.
Luckily, nothing was damaged or missing.
however the communication was poor, after you pay them they will pretty much be very difficult to get a hold of.
The extra insurance bit, which no one told me about until after I had payed them my money for the transportation itself (350£) is just their way to get you to pay even more.  As a consumer, you do expect a professional moving firm to take respoinsibility over your belongings, even if those belongings are worth more than a measly 40 quid.

International move from , VIC to Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid

Seriously unprofessional and unexperienced.

Our relocation from Melbourne to Madrid was contracted with ChessMoving who assigned Movecorp as the local company for the section UK to Madrid.
Our Experience with Movecorp is absolutely disapointing, several customers have reported the same issues in their previous reviews.

(1) Lack of update - we have never got any information unless we asked for it. Some essential questions (i.e. delivery time, contact to address our complain..) are never answered.

(2) Obvious delay - timeframes indicated through a templated email which has probably not been updated since years creating absolutely inappropriate expectations.

(3) No defined schedule, no defined pathway - Movecorp seems not to be able to provide any information regarding who, when and how things will be transported.

(4) You pay everything and then they will do when they want/can.


This is clearly unprofessional and unexperienced company, we are still waiting them to make any visible progress, so I hope this review will help other customers to select a better way when transferring their belongings.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

They stuffed up the pick-up, they never passed on the paperwork to the the shippers at the port of destination for customs, and the shipment arrived severely damaged –– and now they are claiming insolvency while still offering quotes if you request one online.

International move from Dublin, Dublin to Manchester, Greater Manchester

Late and tried to scam us.

We had a removal from mainland Europe to Ireland. We were flying to Ireland a week after our furniture was collected. However Move Corp kept changing the collection dates, even though it was them that had picked the dates in the first place.. we had worked around them. We picked them only because they were cheapest. The men turned up 4 or so days late, with us only being informed each day that it wouldn't be today.. so with time running out we were getting nervous of missing our flights. Nearly a month later we are still waiting for our furniture to be delivered. We have been telephoning them, but they just say they don't know when it will appear..and now they have our furniture, what can you do. PLUS they tried to scam us about going over what we had booked. They were trying to charge us for double the amount, even when their driver had said it might be a 'little' over. However after we kept complaining that this couldn't be true, one of their staff accidently let slip what the real amount was..100 m2 less than they were trying to bill us for.. They are crooks, who make promises to get the work, that they have no intention of delivering. Would never use this company again.   .
