Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Fantastic Service

Excellent movers that were on time and very friendly. They moved quickly and we're gracious to me and my belongings. In the future I'll use Movers not Shakers, and recommend it, because of their behavior.

Move size: 1 Bedroom Home Service cost: £280

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire

Move was made much easier, thanks :-).

Simon and Calvin were really professional they turned up on time and very polite and friendly. I was nervous moving after 12 years! I was moving from a house share to a 1 bed flat. It gave me peace of mind to have a professional team. Booking the move was very good as well, I spoke to Clinton the manager only a week or so before, because I did not have an exact date for the move until very last minute, once I got my completion date I was able to book the move with ease just a few days before with Clinton, when I spoke on the phone to Clinton he really knew his stuff and even the area that I was moving to and that it would be difficult to park there. During the day of the actual move, everything was moved into the van by Simon and Calvin very well and carefully, they asked me if I had anything that needed careful attention, and they put extra bubble wrap on some items and gave a few extra boxes, they had a plan of which items to put in the van first. At the other end we had trouble with my wardrobe and it was entirely my fault for not measuring it! They were able to help me with that and generally very helpful and good professional people, I would highly recommend them for a move, really happy that it went smoothly because it is such a stressful day, but they made it less stressful, it is a hard job. Thanks again.

Not insured as they claim - buyer beware.

I used them as a good friend had recommended them to me.  I can't really fault them until it came to paying the bill when Mike tried to charge me more because he under quoted the job, and then he wanted to add boxes on to the price, but had never mentioned that when he said he would bring boxes over.
I was prepared to pack myself, but he suggested no, as it is a fully insured sevice.
I have an ottoman bed which they have twisted the frame on, put holes through the base boards and scratched the frames.
Well, since I have asked for them to send me the claim forms, nothing, no responses to the emails or text message.
I recommend paying on your credit card as you can reverse the charge and then they have to respond. 
Wouldnt use them unless they give you a copy of thier insurance details and you check them out before booking with them.
I also sent the guys a £15 tip each.  Mug!
Wont be using them again.

Service cost: £700

Movers Not Shakers - prepare to be shaken after the move!

The three guys moved all our stuff quickly and efficiently and we were pleased until they had left. They had spent s lot of time in the baby's room and we realised why when we finally saw our baby's cotbed. They had reassembled it in his bedroom and screwed the screws right through the wood. There were splinters all over the floor and when we contacted Movers Not Shakers (3 attempts), their response took over a week and the email back was short and informed us their insurance didn't cover reassembly of flat pack. I then called them and "Mike" answered.
He was rude, insulting, aggressive and shockingly unprofessional. He told me that "they know more about flatpack than I ever will" and his tone was completely unacceptable throughout.
I urge anyone to use another company and hope they can find some professionals. Avoid this incompetence at all costs.

Service cost: £550

All good until it goes bad.

These guys come across as friendly at first. The trouble for us started when they cracked the glass on our stovetop by dropping a bottle of oil on it causing £400 of damage in our rented property. We realized when they left for the day (they were the only ones who had been in the kitchen the whole time and we subsequently discovered the smashed bottle of oil they had thrown out to hide the whole incident). When we informed Clinton, he became irate, aggressive and very nasty calling us liars and all sorts of other names. He made an already stressful move an absolutely awful experience for my family and I.

It was then that I realized that Clinton repeatedly denies any and all damage on his moving jobs to avoid paying for damage or making any insurance claims. There are many people who have had a similar experience. We also sensed that the guys who do the actual move are grossly underpaid as they seemed generally unmotivated and were too afraid to admit the damage to the stove.

Anything we thought we were saving by using these guys was outweighed by the cost of the damage they did to the property. Avoid at all costs.

Service cost: £2000

Official company response

Hi Carol

Thanks for your review - however, I am surprised by your comments 2 years after we moved you and never replying to my email.

I only ever spoke with you to rectify the claims you made against our team and never once shouted or called you nasty names. You also failed to mention the building site our guys had to work in which was not compliant with any Health & Safety Laws. We did the best we could under the circumstances.
We also discounted your storage at the full rate to compensate for the damage we were accused of. I guess we cannot satisfy everyone :(
Regards,
Clinton.

Outstanding service for a very smooth move

Movers Not Shakers helped us with a move out of London and were absolutely brilliant. Mike conducted a thorough preparatory online meeting, which ensures smooth sailing from there. The planning was spot on, but most importantly the team on the day were outstanding - helpful, efficient, friendly and simply a great pleasure to work with; always happy to go the extra mile. Very highly recommended indeed!

Amazing experience!

Wow, the team that moved my family did a fantastic job. My family of 4 was moving from a 2 bedroom flat to a 3 bedroom house. We had Movers Not Shakers do a full packing service and move. The team of 4 did a stellar job. They completed the pack and move in one day. They worked tirelessly, had great attitudes, and were all around great people. This was a top team - I could not have asked for more.

The price was reasonable and the communication was effortless and quick. I felt comfortable the whole way through. They made what could have been a stressful day as simple as it could have possibly been. Would definitely use again!

Very Impressed.

A friend recommended these guys, so it seemed sensible to give them a go. So glad I did. They were FANTASTIC. They were very friendly, highly professional, and very accommodating; I really cannot fault them. I’m puzzled by the online reviews? I can only think that happy customers don’t write reviews?? MNS were not only all of the above but were also very competitive on price. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

A Breeze.

Movers Not Shakers did an excellent job moving all of our belongings over the last weekend. From speaking to Mike and his foreman Clinton on the phone to the final payment with the moving team they were highly professional and wanted to make things as easy as possible for us. Two guys came and pre-packed most items on Saturday afternoon and then returned with extra help to load up on Monday morning, wait in the vans for completion and then unload at the other end. All large furnature was disassembled and reassembled with ease.
Thank you Movers Not Shakers!

Moving home.

Great service, flexible, fast & performed by a really pleasant, hard working bunch of guys. MNS originally quoted for a full packing & moving service, but reduced their price on the day when they saw how much we had done ourselves - totally unexpected.

Clinton, who quoted via WhatsApp video, was also a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely use them again!
