Before you book

Worth asking before you pay a deposit. The answers take two minutes on the phone and make the written quote stronger.

  2. Ask for the cover amount in writingthe site describes enhanced cover options and a standard liability cap, so request the goods in transit amount, the policy schedule and the excess.
  3. Ask what the written quote holdsthe price, what the packing service includes and how long the quote stays valid, since no prices are published on the site.
  4. Confirm the day-of crewthe crew size, the arrival window and who your contact is on the day.
  5. Container movesif you are considering one, ask how loading times are counted and what that changes about the day.
  6. Partner storageif you need storage, ask which facility is used, how access works and how the goods are covered while stored.
  7. Changes and cancellationsask how both are handled before you pay a deposit.

* What “verified” means here: we checked public records and read the review platforms ourselves on the dates shown. We never accept a company's own words as verification, and we never let a company pay to change a verdict. Our assessment is built from review substance, freshness and authenticity; it is not a rating the company can buy or influence. When claimed profiles open, companies will be able to upload documents (insurance schedules, policies) and items will move from “advertised” to “verified” automatically once parsed.

What people love about this company

We read every Google review below five stars end to end, together with the company's replies, and the 100 most recent Trustpilot reviews (98 of 100 carry a reply):

Office team named by name (Diane, Helen, Scott)Full packing service takes the stress out of the dayPODS container option lets customers load at their own paceStorage, short and long term, returned in perfect conditionQuotes described as less than half of a competitor'sCareful handling of artwork and valuablesCrews named by name (Mark, Chris, Frankie, Rich, Andy)Patient when completions and moving dates slip

Across 736 reviews read in August 2026 (284 on Google at 5.0 out of 5 and 452 on Trustpilot at 5.0), every one and two star review carries a company reply, and the 100 most recent Trustpilot reviews are all four or five stars. The praise names the office team, the full packing service and storage returned in good condition after months. The Google profile carries reviews published under an earlier brand, which is why the corpus reaches back to 2017 even though the current company was incorporated in 2025. Reviews arrive steadily on both platforms.

Figures aggregate every review we read on 25 August 2026; we publish the pattern, not individual reviews.
