“Bad experience ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Warrenmx170 on 24/08/2016

First used the company 2 years ago and received an excellent service. Used them again in Aug 2016 - terrible service all around - Feels like a different company. Our experience- Van turned up 2 hours later than expected, without pre-arranged wardrobe boxes resulting in us having to pack best clothing into bin bags. Sofa and cupboard scratched upon loading into van and internal hall wall damaged. Rang the company next day, terrible customer service. Was told "as far as we're concerned the job was completed yesterday". If things don't go to plan don't expect a sympathetic ear. They were a good company sadly it seems they aren't anymore

“Very helpfull”

★★★★★

written by VictorGuzman on 27/10/2015

The service I received was very helpful right from the start. The gentleman who arranged it for me was very polite and professional. The 2 removal men took care of everything and moved my daughters belongings safely from Barry to London. The price was the best from several removal companies. I would recommend their service to anyone.

“Great efficient friendly company”

★★★★★

written by Paigex385 on 22/10/2015

Company staff never once moaned about changes in move date - and there were lots!. Chap who surveyed house professional and informative. 3 Guys who moved us on the day could have had their own stand up comedy slot and really took the stress out of the move - would definitely recommend them . PS they were one of the most reasonably priced

“Bristol to Manchester ”

★★★★☆

written by Hoggerwood on 13/10/2015

Stressful long distance move made less of a problem by City Moves. From the first assessment to them driving away all went well. So far only a single martini glass broken! That's a result from all our "stuff". Thank you

“Fantatsic team and very impressed.”

★★★★★

written by MikeH23 on 13/10/2015

Extremely impressed with the entire service, from initial meeting with City Moves staff upon visiting our old property to determine what volume of items required moving etc, the telephone staff being helpful and understanding with our move date changing constantly, right up to the removal team on the day. Entirely professional, many laughs on the day which helped to relieve what can easily be a stressful situation. The team arrived on the day as stated, they worked quickly and efficiently in loading everything, transporting and also unloading. The removal team on the day really are a credit to the business and I would definitely highly recommend them to anyone. So in summary a hardworking team that are professional and experienced, you will not be disappointed using City Moves.

★★★★★

written by annevas on 03/10/2015

Staff were organised and polite, would recommend to family and friends. Throughout the process from initial contact to the removal of the packing boxes was professional, very efficient and could not be faulted. We look forward to using them again when we secure our next property.

“REALLY IMPRESSED”

★★★★★

written by DJAMES1861 on 03/10/2015

We were really impressed with the service we got from City Moves, from the communication with HQ before the move to moving day itself. We found them to be very competitively priced too, and they actually seemed to have a fair pricing system (some quotes we got from other companies were one price when we enquired online,and another when we called up). It was the first time we had used a removal company- until now, we have always rented a van and done it ourselves. We were so glad we chose City Moves as they made everything easy. They packed our belongings efficiently and quickly and kept us explained every step in the process (like how things were packed, how it would be unpacked, and how long things would take). They took great care of everything, but took special steps to protect the items we told them were particularly important to us. We actually think they went above and beyond, as they spent a good 30 mins (or more, come to think of it) trying to get our awkwardly-shaped sofa into our new flat and not wanting to give up, even when we told them to! (We always suspected it might not fit!) the guys I dealt with  were lovely to deal with, very helpful and couldn't have made things easier for us. In general, we can't recommend them enough. We had a very good experience of using this company.

“City Moves Outstanding Service”

★★★★★

written by KHot on 02/10/2015

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to the entire City Moves team, the surveyor was great and very professional/knowledgable/experienced and friendly and the staff that turned up to do the move were exactly the same. Nothing was too much and we all had a giggle, but by heck they worked their socks off!! Very impressed and just thought you all should know. I would recommend them to any one and the fact that they are a long standing FAMILY RUN company but are able to compete against the bigger (national) companies is a major bonus for me and I had them recommended by my friend who had them move her (and family) to Australia last year. Fantastic service and experience.

“Great service”

★★★★★

written by brees1 on 27/07/2015

Service provided what exactly as was described.No hidden costs whatsoever.The men were punctual,polite,friendly and did the job never changing their attitude for the whole day. Our move was certainly not the easiest.A 3rd floor flat with a very small lift.They have used the lift only for the boxes as the bigger furniture was too big so they had to use the stairs and manage a few tight turns.I guess they are used to this kind if situation.Also their fitness levels are extraordinary. Once at our new place we showed them around and they got in with it.Everything was also placed where we wanted. We could not have asked for more.

“very happy with our move”

★★★★★

written by DayamiKirkland379 on 16/02/2015

We got a great removal experience across Bristol from this company. The removal team arrived on time and quickly shifted a lot of goods into the waiting vans. We moved from our three bedroom house in Bristol to Locally in under 4 hours which was exceptional effort. They were very efficient, organised and hard working. I have no complaints but admiration for the office personnel and the moving team. I would definitely use again and recommend without any hesitation.

“Worst experience moving house ever”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 284Dunlap on 23/12/2014

This is the worst moving company I have ever made the mistake of using. They made an already stressful situation almost unbearable. They started at 7:30am and I didn't have all of my things delivered until almost 8pm..... I moved a one bedroom apartment 700 metres!!!! I was overcharged, the removalists were rude and intimidating, many (many!) personal items were broken and my property was damaged - huge hole in wall, carpets ripped and countless scratches to various walls. After a number of emails and phone calls to them I have still yet to receive any calls in return to organise the reparation of my property. This is an inconceivably bad company and I am now being advised by VCAT.

“Above and beyond”

★★★★★

written by peter.will55 on 20/10/2014

City Moves are a fantastic company who have just help myself and my wife relocate to France. I must firstly state that every one involved, in our move, from the first phhone call & house visit to the team that made the delivery, to our new house; were all outstanding. City moves came very highly recommended by several of our friends, who had used them over the years and I must say that we are VERY happy that we used them. Above and beyond the call of duty and a big 110% customer satisfaction. Kind regards P & K Williams

“TOP CLASS COMPANY”

★★★★★

written by fyHartley408 on 27/09/2014

I used City Moves and I can honestly say that this was the best removal service I have ever received, having moved over 15 times with Army. Anyone looking for an honest, reliable company should call City moves and have a Free quote. The he team that was carrying out my move were top class and very willing to help, top service from all involved. Only company I will use from now on.

“Very Happy Customers - Highly Recommended”

★★★★★

written by YHCarrid on 20/09/2014

City Moves have relocated us from Glasgow to Swansea and I would like to recommend them, with the highest honors. Nothing was too much for this company and from the first phone call to the last we have spoken/met/delt with professional staff members who were all very helpful and they really knew what they were talking about, when it came to advice and instructions...their experienced showed. I am not going to keep going on but I would just like everyone to know that this is by far the best removal company that we have ever used (and we have moved alot) and I feel very happy to offer their name to anyone that asks.

“City Moves are appalling”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 27/08/2014

Moving house is one of the most stressful days you have to deal with. City Moves made it much more stressful than it needed to be. They failed to move several items and left them behind, including a piano which I was assured by their salesman would be no problem to move. They failed to supply sufficient boxes, promised to send more, and then failed to do this. They would not take items not in boxes (even though they failed to bring the extra boxes on moving day) and started driving off when the house was not empty. I had to pay another removal firm to finish the job that I already paid City Moves to do (City Moves took the money in advance). The other firm moved the piano easily with fewer men. The customer service is appalling - I have had no apology whatsoever, and they are generally rude and argumentative. I have had to ring and email about 10 times after the move to try and get some kind of refund for the piano they quoted for but did not move. They come across as totally unstrustworthy and dishonest. Do not use them.

“Amazing Service”

★★★★★

written by yaca010 on 14/02/2014

City Moves have recently carried out our removal from the UK to Australia and I would just like to say what an amazing job they did!!! Very helpful staff and very knowledgeable surveyor who visited our house, the staff that came in to pack our goods were quick, polite and efficient and worked nonstop through the day packing & writing up a full inventory. Once we arrived at Australia City Moves had processed all of the paper work and cleared customs, for us and had already arranged the delivery to our new house. The organisation was second to none and the entire move was a success from start to finish, as our move was a complicated one due to the fact that we were shipping not only all of our household goods but also wanted to have our 2 cars shipped over. We were given all of the information ahead of time and their experience showed when it came to Australia's customs and import laws and duties. Effortless and recommended to anyone looking to move anywhere in the world, we thank you greatly and wish you all the best. Many Thanks Y. Harrington

“Professional Service very please”

★★★★★

written by Francobenni on 12/02/2014

I used City Moves service for the third time they have been a trusted and professional company for me and my family over the past 3 years. I moved from Bristol to Pembroke Dock and had no hick ups at all the boys on the job were once again friendly and polite to both me and my wife. They put my wife's mind at ease when they layed down the sheets to protect our new carpets in Pembroke and did a excellent job at dismantling and reassembling my furniture. Once again the price was compettative and fair and the vehicle supplied was no eye sore it made my wife feel proud in front of our new neighbours , as in the past we have used man and van or lorry companies and have a a vehicle resembling a horse box outside our new house which my wife hated as a first impression. Our surveyor was very accurate and basically once we accepted his quote he took over and made things easier and put our minds at rest. If anyone at City Moves reads this review than you again and we will use you next time we move. Overall you guys were great and I would Reccomend anyone to use the service that provide. Regards Franco.
