Great service

The team were really efficient and helpful, and we had no problems at all! The price was >£500 less than the other company that provided a quote to us. Everything was packaged and protected well. We would definitely recommend. Thanks for making our move as straight forward as possible

Absolutely brilliant

I wanted to pass on my thanks to the 2 guys who helped move on 1st July. They were absolutely brilliant.

They took care of my furniture and moved everything with ease. They helped place the large heavy items in the exact spot per room, to make the rooms come to life and I was soo grateful and impressed.

They were both polite and friendly and liked to chat with me whilst moving too.

They are truly great assets to your crew, lovely lads and I will definitely be using and recommending you guys again. Thank you

Long-distance move from Derby, Derbyshire to Derby, Derbyshire

Simply Moving.

Despite visiting the property to assess the size of move, the small vans that arrived were inadequate for the job. We were supposed to have vacated by 1pm but the last load did not leave until 5pm. Luckily our buyer was very very understanding. To speed the move up, I agreed that some items could be deposited in a dutch barn temporarily, so that one of the vans could return quicker to collect the next load. They were then to move everything from the barn to the house upon return. As it was dark & had been a long stressful day, I took their word that the barn was now empty and everything was in the house. Next morning I discovered several boxes and many valuable items in the barn in such a state they appeared to have been pushed off the van. No doors & accessible to anyone who had cared to help themselves. I feel such a fool for tipping them when they had simply tipped my possessions. Other reviews are way way above the service I experienced so maybe I was unlucky.

Official company response

Hi Phil,

thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, and i'm sorry to hear you were not 100% satisfied with our service. I'm pleased to see you realise you are in the minority and that this is not a common reaction to our moves.

Just to clarify some points, it was me who came to your property on the day of the survey and I was also in attendance for the move itself. At the time of the survey Mrs Kavanaugh explained to me that we would have access to the new property from early in the morning and that if we made a separate journey for the pot plants and garden furniture then this would be no problem (we try to where possible separate dirty garden items and plants from your household goods).
On the day of the move I explained that we would be sending a vehicle ahead to unload and at this point you and your wife realised that you had not informed us of a change of plan.
We adapted and unloaded a truck load of garden and shed items into the barn as you have stated above and then returned for the remainder. The rest of the move went to plan and you were very satisfied with the move, as you have commented, you tipped the guys for a job well done.

At your new property we moved all the items we believed you wanted to be moved from the barn into one of the out-houses. I appreciate you were busy with friends and neighbours calling round but we did ask several times for you to let us know if any more items where to be moved to the out house, we were confident that we had moved everything you had requested us to move and as the out-house was full to the brim there was no other option for us.

If you had simply called the office the next morning we would have sent someone round as soon as possible to move any items in the daylight.

I appreciate that moving can be a stressful time and we do our best to alleviate that where we can. We have a reputation for keeping customers happy as you can see from our feedback and wish you had offered us the chance to rectify this mis-understanding.

Once again, apologies if you are not totally satisfied and I hope you have now settled into your new home.

Regards,

Martin Ward

Simply fantastic Moving

What a fantastic service we received.

The 4 man team arrived at the specified time and were professional, polite and friendly.

They walked around the property, then fully wrapped, packed and boxed our belongings before taking them to the vans. Our beds and the dining table were dismantled, and they even moved our garden furniture and many potted plants, including 2 trees. We were asked to 'walk around' to ensure we were happy, before I was given a contact number and the vans left. The house was left very clean and with no damage to walls etc.

When we arrived at the new address the vans were ready and waiting for us. After a look around the layout, the team quickly moved the boxes to the correct rooms, assembled the beds and dining table and moved the plants trees and furniture into the garden with no fuss.

We were again asked to 'walk around' to ensure all items were correctly placed, as they did not want us moving large items, they said it was "their job"

From the initial quote by Richard, to him collecting the emptied boxes today, I cannot praise Simply Moving highly enough. I will certainly recommend them to everyone.

Top team

Nathan and the team from Simply Moving arrived on time to pack, on day one and move us on day two. They were professional, courteous and worked tirelessly throughout to ensure our guidance/requirements were met and that our belongings were moved safely and securely. Moving house is never easy but the team, with their enthusiasm and sense of humour, certainly made it as stress free as they could and did an excellent job; for that, they have our sincere thanks.

Long-distance move from Desford, Leicestershire to Sileby, Leicestershire

Professional, Efficient & Reliable

Martin and the team completed our move over the course of two days and were incredibly professional throughout. The quote was very competitive and unlike other well known National Brands who shied away from moving our home gym, Simply Moving took it in their stride and embraced the challenge.

The whole team were professional, polite, conscientious and had a 'can-do' attitude. Would 100% recommend Simply Moving! Thank you for making what is normally a very stressful experience completely pain free.

Excellent service

Simply Moving were excellent during our (very) short move down the street. The whole team were professional, efficient and pleasant. They did a great job fully packing the house the day before and then loaded and unloaded everything exactly where we wanted it on the day of the move. They dismantled the furniture and reassembled it in the new house. They took a lot of stress out of the move. Would highly recommend!

Long-distance move from Derby, Derbyshire to Leicester, Leicestershire

Simply Moving.

You don't need to look any further than Simply Moving for your removals. They score top marks for value and service. Arrived on time and loaded up very quickly when moving my mother's belongings recently. The only hold up was in getting the keys to her new property - and that delay was at the solicitor's end. The guys showed great patience as they had to wait four hours at the other house despite only being a three mile trip (Moira to Ashby de la Zouch). But once they had access, they unloaded the furniture very quickly and the move itself couldn't have gone more smoothly. Very reasonable prices too. Give Martin a call and he will give you a quote, but this is a excellent removal company to use.

Service cost: £240

Official company response

Thanks Graham, hope your mother is enjoying her new place and the little community she moved into, was a really nice place and the friendly neighbours looked after us whilst we waited.

Efficient and Friendly service.

With relatively short notice, the friendly, professional team from Simply Moving (Ruhul, Wes, Nathan and Martin) moved us with little fuss and great efficiently. Ruhul and Wes did a fantastic, timely job moving many boxes and heavy furniture up the two flights of very steep stairs at our new abode - and with no complaints! No hesitation in recommending the team and would use again. Thank you :).

Service cost: £1350
