Removal Companies - Recommendations please


CLM44

Recommended Posts

I recently moved with VP Removals and I'd defo recommend them.


I requested a few quotes. Some places ruled themselves out at first call cos it was like they were doing me a favour or made borderline sexist comments.


Two companies came back that I was pretty happy with

- A-Z Removals: https://www.a-zremovals.net/ Joe asked for photos for a quote. Good reviews on trust a trader. Really helpful over Whatsapp.

- VP Removals: http://www.vpremovals.co.uk/ Peter came round at a time that worked for me to quote, assess parking etc. Discussed details via email.


I went with VP as I'd met Peter in person, they've got tonnes of other recommendations on here and the price was good.


They packed me the day before the move - thoughtful asking if I needed certain things leaving out, clearly labelled boxes etc. Arrived right on time for the move. 3rd floor flat, no lift but still had the van loaded quickly. I travelled with them which made things easier for me. Unloading was speedy (fewer stairs!).


They were friendly, efficient and careful - what more could I want. (Thank you Peter and Danny!) Would 100% recommend VP.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
