Just moved - we used Harradines

competitive quote and covered everything we needed. Make sure you negotiate what you need and dont leave anything to chase or last minute in terms of request (including loft which we forgot! -they backed it but I brought the stuff down)


Have to say these guys were very good - absolutely BLITZED a completely unpacked house like ours in a matter of hours. I mean we did NOTHING ...so it can be done. obviously its ideal if you organise a little as they just shove things in a box (nicely) - even the breakables. I could see they really knew what they were doing and packed well. They will also undo do things but not necessarily put it all back together at the other end. They did our desk and beds which was fab.



There is some good advice on another thread on using these sorts of movers. At the end of the day its all about how much time you have and how big your property (or rather -in our case -how much cr%p you have!!).


There is something to be said for not just letting them get on with it. they are the first to complain you are getting in their way and then say "well you didnt tell us not to/to pack this or that here or there"! We have a lot of "misclnce" or "odds" boxes - not great when looking for things! :(


so having a good idea about labelling and briefing them would be my advice especially if your new house has a slightly different layout. Anyway got the job done and money well spent.


Good luck

One further shout out for Robert & Denny's - they are very similar to Harradines (both v local). They moved us the last time (about 4-5 years ago) ...we had more stuff and Harradines gave more comprehensive package in the end (in terms of packing and price) this time.


But last time the guys did really fabulously and very hardworking (same story - no packing done beforehand!). there was even an issue with our chain and even though they were out by 12 or so we didnt get our keys until about 4:30pm but they waited (there is a theoretical threat to take your stuff to storage overnight) and even 'threw in' a couple of extra unpackers to get the job done.


Was very happy with them. In fact - just as i was leaving my old house - saw them pull up to move in the new guys!

Have raved about Janusz of JT Enterprises on here many times but we moved with them a year ago and they were superb. Wherever we move to next we will be using them, their speed, expertise, calmness, courtesy and care was second to none and their pack/move service literally saved our sanity over a period of two days when we weren't even sure we would be exchanging or completing (ended up doing both on the same moving day, within a few hours). Excellent, excellent team.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
