I have never wrote a negative review before, but this time I feel like I need to share our experience and warn everybody not to go with Ramshaw Transport. Moving abroad is stressful enough without worrying and waiting for your boxes to show up 5 weeks. However, the long wait for the delivery was not the biggest issue. The lack of good costumer service was shocking, unanswered emails, unreturned calls and no one to give an estimtated arrival time for our goods. They wouldn`t even give us a heads up when one of their truck "broke down". They were unprofessional in every way and we are just happy that the boxes finally arrived and we can forget Ramshaw Transport once for all.

Service cost: £500

Home relocation.

I have recently moved my elderly mother back up to the north east from the south and I decided to give ramshaws a go. From start to finish I have nothing but high praise for this local family run firm. At the start of this process the office staff were extremely helpful and made sure I understood everything and took me through the admin side of things step by step without a complaint and Gave me advice on how to make sure the removal went without a glitch. I can also not thank enough the actual removal team with how patient and understanding they were with my mother who has not moved in over 30 years. Overall this was a great experience on what they say 'one of life's great stresses'.

Service cost: £1200

I used Ramshaws to move my large property from the north to wales..well what can I say?! Superb service from start to finish! The girls in the office were so helpful and nothing was too much the guys on the day were quick, organised and calmed me on what was a stressful day. Delivery was on time and the men put my boxes etc in the rooms I asked. My daughter is moving to join us here and we have already been in contact with Ramshaw's to book them to move her! Im so thrilled with our service from Ramshaw. Thank you so much to the whole team :).

Couldn't be any happier with the service I received!

Back in August 2016 I hired ramshaw to help with my house removal, absolutely fantastic from start to finish, workmen were there on time and on form till the very moment they left the job.

From the moment I got in contact with this company I was spoken to in a very relaxed manor & got my quote very quickly.

I was very afraid to leave my belongings in change with people I didn't know.. there was absolute no need everything was moved and packed in a very professional way, I'll 100% be using this company in the future so much easier!

THANKYOU very much guys.

Service cost: £1000

encounter bad customer service from any of these companies, to contact us. Hopefully
together we might raise awareness and save a few people from the distress that has
been caused to those people posting on sites like this.
