MoveCorp

I chose this company because two family members had used them before and after reading some of the feedback on this site, although there were a few bad ones.
  I'm glad I did because the service we received from the time of requesting a quote to the time of arriving at our new home was excellent.
I would highly recommend them if you are considering moving and definitely go for the paccking service you will be glad you did for the extra cost and peace of mind.

You won't be disappointed.

My wife arranged our first ever move from our 2 bedroom apartment in Bradford to our new house in Birmingham. Movecorp gave us a great price and the sales girl Sue was fantastic talking us through the procedure and putting my wifes mind at rest about the move. Its amazing what you accumulate over two years and although I had my doubts whether it would all fit into the two vans sent, it was no problem at all. The three lads who carried out the move were brilliant, taking off the feet on our massive sofas to get them through doorways, taking off and refitting wardrobe doors where the wardrobes were heavy. The whole job was carried out with no set backs or problems and we were highly delighted with our first move.

(Moved from the UK to the San Jose, CA in the US, drop downs won't let you select US) I moved using MoveCorp from the UK back to the US in June of 2015. I have never been lied to more, from start to finish. First the estimate went up from the original 490 cubic feet to 550 cubic feet but the final shipping documents show that only 427 cubic feet were shipped. I paid and extra 340 GBP and a total of 3135 GBP for my goods to be shipped. The increase seemed reasonable at the time but clearly they lied and ripped me off for more the very start. They promised me in an email that they would ship my goods within 2 weeks of collection from my home in the UK, it took more than 100 days before they even put my goods on a ship to be shipped to the US. It took a full 146 days for us to receive our goods. When our goods arrived, boxes were missing and my wife's jewelry box was missing. She watched them pack it and noted that some of the items that it was packed with arrived but the jewelry box was not in the box. That's right, they robbed us. There is no other way to put it, they are the only ones that knew which box the jewelry box was in, and they simply opened the box, stole it and re-sealed the box. It was never even documented on the shipping docs so no one else would have even known to look for it. There were lots of other items missing including all of our pots and pans. There were lots of damaged items as well. These guys are the worst in every way possible. If you read the reviews here you will see this is a pattern. This company is a fraud, they will do the worst things and treat you like you don't matter once they take your goods. If they have stolen from you please report them to the police. I have and the police are on to them, there should be some arrests in store for them.

Be honest I don't know how to start, this company is worst company I ever deal with. I never write reviews but I want to make sure people they don't going be rip off like me. When we were in England they write you every day emails and calls you , when you move abroad they don't know you. You have to chase them when your stuff arrive and when you call them they don't know where the drivers are . The lady (Harley) doesn't have the best of costumers service. I tried call them many times but of the sudden they are busy and they can't talk to you. The stuff arrived nearly one week later, but damaged!! When I talked to them apperantly they can't do anything because our insurance doesn't cover it (until now I don't know why I paid insurance ,not the cheap one !)The drivers put fragile box on the bottom and after two or three heavy boxes on the top and they said it is our fault. They damaged even TV even they knew it is TV there. When you do take insurance make sure you know all details what is cover what not because nobody tell you! I m very angry because I feel very frustrating and cheated because I paid lot of money for this company and they don't care about costumers service!. They damage TV ,sofa and more stuff!!.I m still waiting for they responds but I doubt it someone will do something about it.

 I was happy with the service. The pick-up was on time as was delivery. No damage to my boxes. You have to bear in mind that when you have a small removal the company will part load your stuff into a truck with other removals, which makes it difficult for them to tell the day of delivery at the time of booking. I was told about 5 days before delivery on which day of the following week delivery would take place. Overall a very positive experience. I paid  £540 for 25 boxes plus some small furniture which I found rather cheap compared to other offers.

Our new start in France started with a bit of a delay due to customs both sides and the ongoing immigrant problem but the lorry was only seven hours late so no major issue. When the offloading commenced the lads worked quickly and everything was put in the allocated rooms and they were away within four hours. No breakages or loss and a great move carried out just as we had hoped. We were both happy and satisfied with the service and would recommend Movecorp without hesitation.

TERRIBLE MOVING COMPANY. Do not use it
We had to move from England to Italy. They were ok to begin with, good quote and good service offered. Once they collected our stuff things started to get wrong: they change extra for extra space they said we used ( even though at the time of collection they assured we didn’t overuse space). They then promise the delivery date in Italy on a certain date and they ended up delivering two weeks later. They didn’t even deliver in the day last agreed but the day before, giving us two hours notice. On the day of delivery they couldn’t unload the truck, as it was too big for the road, even if we gave them the size of the street. We had to pay extra £250 because our stuff had to be delivered to a depot to be them redelivered to us after a week. Worse service ever. We ended up paying more than £ 500 extra.

“Okay the van was five minutes late but was anything broken? No not one item so in the great scheme of things I for one am happy”. My wife is a bit of a control freak and everything has to be 100% spot on so when the van was a bit late, hey these things happen, you would have thought the world was going to end. The driver apologised when he arrived and had even tried to call me but I’d left my mobile in the car? Movecorp if you can please my wife you can please anybody. Brilliant.

Great service in Wales and the company you arranged in Cyprus were equally professional. End product was that all of the furniture and possessions arrived on time and intact. Add to this the fact I knew I could contact any of your team with even the slightest question or concern and it would be answered, priceless. The personalised and friendly service you offer is extremely rare nowadays but very welcome because it takes the stress out of a very emotional experience. Thank you all and every success for the future.

Thanks for the courtesy email and I would just like to say that your company were wonderful! From the first phone call I made to you right through to the way my goods were packed and received was impeccable. The best part for me was knowing I could contact any of your team at any time with the slightest question or concern. The personalised and friendly service you offer is priceless because it takes the stress out of a very emotional experience. Thank you again and we wish your company the continued success it deserves. Best wishes.

I would like to say how easy it was to deal with this company from the first phone call to the moment the lads brought in the last box. The lads arrived on time, were polite, careful and did a thoroughly brilliant job. There were no breakages which I was very happy about and all the items were deposited safely in the rooms as per places marked on boxes and via instructions. All in all it was a stress free move, excellent service and a great price I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to people.

Actual move was Derby to Castellon de la Plana.
Recommended to Movecorp by a good friend of mine who had used them three years ago for a move from the UK to Spain. As we were retiring to Spain I gave them a ring, told them they had been recommended and asked for a quote. The quote was around what I was expecting to pay so I instructed them there and then. Two months on now and settled down so time to write a review as requested starting with the good communication from start to finish, punctuality, professionalism and enthusiasm. Would highly recommended them.

I wish I had visited this site before arranging my removals. I can echo some of the other reviews. My move started with a simple house to house locally but the purchase fell through just as we were packing to leave so the goods had to go into storage for about 2 months while we found another house. All was going well until the men arrived with our goods. They greeted us by saying "there is a lot of damage". Item after item came out damaged - furniture broken, lamps broken, tables and chairs broken, crockery broken, my telescope broken and bits missing. My wife's clothes supposedly in wardrobe boxes had been packed flat and stored upright hence all tangled and creased. Then half our settee and chairs were missing and had to be found at a later time. I took photos of all the damaged goods for the record.

My mistake and I warn others now, was that I assumed there was some sort of insurance cover at least a minimal from the movers side but as I hadn't filled in a full and valued inventory list I had no insurance and during our time in storage my house insurance had lapsed. I was told that - tough I was not insured. They offered some minimal compensation but I was still pursuing the insurance claim though them. When that failed they withdrew the compensation. Finally I got a token apology.

I have just taken several car loads of broken items to the tip which will cost me close to £1000 to replace.

The whole episode and how it was handled left a sour taste in my mouth. I realise it was my naivety in not taking out their insurance which meant I hadn't a valid claim so technically they weren't obliged to recompense me for the damage, but I feel angry that I entrusted my valuables to them and they had a completely unprofessional way of handling and storing the goods and dealing with the aftermath.

People reading this should be careful to read the small print, take out as much, independent insurance as you can and keep careful records before trusting Movecorp with your move.

Got some spare time in the office, at last, and finally got round to doing your review James. What can I say? You have obviously got faith in your company to email clients and ask them to do this and that faith is well founded. Our move from North Baddesley to Frankfurt was flawless, your company did a fantastic, friendly, professional removal and did everything you could to move our things safely and on time. The whole move was done reliably and fast, transport was on time at both ends and the negotiated price was the paid price. I would recommend you to anyone seeking a great, caring, reasonably priced removal company. Many thanks.

I moved from the UK to the USA (the drop down is not allowing me to put in the right destination). The pickup was two hours late and I wasn't called. The boxes are now anticipated at  15 weeks until delivery. Yet, they never contacted me and when I contacted them (at about 7 weeks) I found out for the first time that the shipment was still in the UK. I was then told that it was going to be loaded next week. When I contacted them at 9 weeks I then found out it had not been loaded. I then complained about lack of communication and got an email back that did not address those concerns but simply said that the shipment would be made within the original estimate of 8-12 weeks. A week after that email I got another with an estimated deilvery date of 15 weeks. I can only hope that it will come then. I understand that these delivery times are just estimates, but I would expect that when the shipment is going to be outside of the estimated time they would be eager to communicate at each step. The price was fine - within the range of all the movers I contacted - at the low end. .

My husband and I were recommended to this company by a chap my husband has done some work for and to be honest after reading a few reviews slating them off we hummed and haahed. But my husband said well if they can please Chris they must be okay and after using them we must say that they looked after us fine. They did a full removal at what we thought was a very reasonable price, everything went smoothly on the day of the move and the office staff were brilliant in answering any random questions we threw their way.A great service that we wouldn't hesitate to use again and recommend.

Would like to start this review by thanking Ped our Spanish plumber for telling us about this company. We bought an old finca in Almeria four years ago with the intention of retiring there and as the time came closer we decided we should put plans in action and there starts the story. Ped told us that he had heard good reports about Movecorp from people he had done work for and when we contacted them we were pleasantly surprised with the quote we received from the sales director James. The moving day came with everything packed away safely and professionaly, instructions provided on their recommended route taken as we were taking both of our cars over to Spain, everything was going to plan. Now we are settled in we realise how foolish we would have been if when we considered moving ourselves how much we underestimated the amount of belongings we have. I suppose we could have managed it with a struggle but at 58 years old did we need the hassle? No not really it was better to pay the professionals, enjoy our nice drive over here and on our first full day sit out in the sun with a nice cool drink. Thank you Movecorp for job well done.

I called for three quotes before deciding on Movecorp as they were the middle priced quote and that's the way I carry out my business. I found them to be very efficient, punctual, excellent communications and confident with their business outlay and directions. I asked for the full packing service to save my time and was very impressed with the care and attention that was obviously taken to safeguard belongings. After a couple of terrible experiences in the past I would highly recommend this company as this was a very pleasant and stress free experience that I would gladly do again when the need arises.

Thank you so much Move-corp for taking the hassle and stress out of what could have been a traumatic experience. From the first phone call we made, we had total confidence in Move-corp that our move from the UK to Spain was in good hands. The admin staff in the office were great and answered all our queries knowledgeably and efficiently and communicated well at each stage of the proceedings. The guys that made the initial collection of our belongings were courteous, friendly and also inspired confidence that our goods would be well looked after. After 6 weeks storage, our boxes were delivered a day early (which was great and agreed) undamaged and intact to our new home in Spain. by two lovely young men who worked really hard in 40 degrees heat to unload our possessions. There were no problems, no issues during the process and we would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all concerned and would not hesitate one iota in recommending this Company Move-corp to others. Cheers guys!

Just like to put my view forward on my home removal carried out by this company. I was amazed to read the recent negative reviews but if this is what has happened then it needs saying, happily in my case I could find nothing wrong with the move so?

From quote to delivery I was happy with the service provided, couple of small breakages but as we packed ourselves I could not really complain. Price was middle of the road as was the service but I could not complain at either and the removal crew themselves were great lads who did exactly what we asked for and were very hard working. Many thanks to all.

It took 5 months for my boxes to get door to door. MoveCorp quoted our transit time to be between 8-12 weeks. What they failed to mention was that my boxes were being sent to Toronto Canada and we live in Vancouver. When I emailed the lady that was our point of contact about it, she sends me an 'out of office' reply. They got their money, they didn't need to deal with us anymore. So they sent the boxes to Toronto and contracted the Canadian part of the journey to an even more inept company called AMJ International, where my boxes sat in a warehouse for 6 weeks before they got loaded up and moved. AMJ International quoted me 1-3 weeks of a wait and it took 8. Long story short, we would have been better off selling our stuff and buying new when we got to Canada. Do not waste your time with an amateur company like this. Do your research before giving them your money.
