Translink Removals

Fantastic service, friendly guys arrived on time, our move was arranged at the very last minute as we were let down by a company in Cardiff that we had previously booked with. I would certainly recommend Homelink removals to anyone who wants a smooth hassle free move. 10 out of 10 to all the lads for their hard work and especially to Dan who arranged it all for us at very short notice. We have already recommended them to our friends and family and would without a doubt use them again without reserve. excellent job thank you once again for an outstanding service.

Service cost: £1800

I would like to say a big thanks to the lads that moved us from Leicester to Glasgow at the weekend. Despite a long journey the lads was very hard working from start to finish and well mannered. We were charged with a very good price what I was quoted. No damages or problems. Whatsoever I would highly recommend them to friends and family. I would use them again. Now I would like to thank this site as this is where I found homelink and can see why they are the recommend for this site.

I'm writing this as I have just read Matt's review, and frankly I'm really sorry to say that he's been ripped off. They have outright stolen from him. Theft and fraud, nothing more and nothing less

Matt: I have ensured that I am contactable. I have evidence for all of the below saved and am taking legal action. The evidence will also prove your case; let's work together on this one. I'm sure I'll receive something vile from Joseph in my inbox by doing this. That's fine by me, he'll just implicate himself further if he does so. I'll just save it with the other emails etc.

Firstly, don't be fooled by the positive reviews. Look at the typos in many; same basic spelling mistakes "we was.." by multiple people? Coincidentally the same spelling mistakes also appeared in emails from the company. This in itself is fraud.

Also please note that this company is not BAR (British association of movers) registered.

We also wanted to use Homelink a couple of months ago; Joseph does seem nice on the phone. However, after agreeing and paying a deposit and signing up, we became increasingly concerned. We did not receive boxes as planned, and after about 3 weeks of badgering and increasing excuses got some tiny ones.

What worried us most was the feeling we were being squeezed for money. Although we agreed a deposit value at the start, we got all sorts of excuses as to why we should pay over more and more each week. In cash. To someone who said he "knew" Joseph, but did not work for the company.

And in the meantime, with the weeks ticking by, there were no concrete arrangements. The deposit reached £500, with more and more demands for money.

Then my dad fell terminally ill. We had to abandon the move to help him out financially. I wrote an extremely apologetic email to Joseph explaining that we'd have to pull out. I didn't want to go into why, for obvious reasons. We were well within the cancellation period stipulated in the contract, and entitled to a full refund.

I got abuse back, pure and simple. A semi-illiterate rant basically. it was awful, and blamed me for forcing the closure of his company.

As part of the rant, he said he was closing his company. 3 days after asking for the full £1.5k balance from me. A clear attempt to commit Fraud / clear evidence of trading insolvent. Take your pick, both are criminal offences.

Oh yes, he said he was living in a caravan, couldn't pay his staff wages, and was closing his company - THIS WAS AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER - and hence could not pay back my deposit.

So, I'm afraid this company has no intention of actually doing jobs, and every intention of simply stealing peoples money

The saddest thing is that the company appears legitimate to the untrained eye (which, let's face it, applies to almost anyone using a removal company); and that sites like this one are allowed to effectively advertise and provide a platform for criminals to carry out their crimes.

I moved from norwich to rotterdam in the netherlands on 11/06/2014, I would like to say how impressed I was with the efficient service that I received and smooth running with the removal overall. I have many large antique items that I was a little worried about being transported but need'nt have as all items were well cared for and in the same condition as they were taken when I recieved them. very happy with this service and would highly recommend and use again. job well done Thankyou homelink.
