I'll just add to the dumpster fire of reviews for this company. My experience was a while ago, but still makes my blood boil. In 2019 i moved from London to Oslo and hired this company as they offered a dedicated van at a low(ish) cost. All was arranged, complete with extra money for a tailgate on the van, and a payment for them to handle import costs with Norwegian customs. The drivers showed up on the day, neither of them spoke a word of English, and there was no tailgate on the van. This was an issue as my motorbike was meant to go in the van. They fashioned a ramp from a metal plank that was part of the framework for the back of the van and push my bike up this, cracking the fairing underneath in the process. I did manage to get the money back i paid for the tail lift, but the damage was done to the bike. Annoyed, but with all my items loaded they set off. A couple of days later they arrived in Oslo, unloaded my things and disappeared. It transpired that they had not checked in with customs, meaning that i needed to pay customs fees and arrange an import inspection myself, costing me both money from my pocket, and lost earnings from time off of work for this. I complained to them that they hadn't carried out what was agreed, and had damaged my bike. Fairings aren't easy to come by for my bike which is over 30 years old. I had lost money, had suffered a lot of stress at their hands and had a damaged bike that i now needed to fix. I was offered £50 back in compensation. Laughable really. After arguing with them for days it was clear it would not get better, so i accepted the pittance. They asked me over and over again for my bank details, and stopped replying to me once i began chasing them for an ETA on this money. I eventually got the money, but it pails in comparison to the extra expenses caused by them, and the stress they gave me. I hope people read this and other reviews and make the decision to spend a little more to deal with a real company. This was hands down the worst customer service experience i have had in my life.

It is now more than 2 years ago since I was ripped off by this company but it still stings to think that I fell for their lies and allowed them to steal my money. Please take a deep look into this sham of a company before you decide to use them because they are cheaper than any other removal company. I am 1100 euros out of pocket for a removal which never transpired, with no sign of ever getting my money back. Disgusting people.

SCAMMERS - THIEVES I booked this company at the end of 2020 for a full service and it was a move from hell. Where to start to explain ? They did not have the right material or tools, did not know what they were doing as they had never packed a house in their lives…. Incompetence, false promesses… not at all the service I paid £5000 for. Bottom line, despite winning the case in court, 1.5 year later, I am still waiting for a promised refund but the communication is completely cut… My phone calls and emails are ignored and the only thing I can do is try to prevent someone to live the same awful experience ! PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM

Update 25/07/2022: Today 1,5 years later, we still have no money (they owe us ~£2,800!), no contact from anyone at European Moving or Daniel Blanche. They took our money, they never arrived, they never paid the money back. Beware of Thieves! Our Facebook group has 81 members. They keep cheating people out of the money, the number of times people find our group and say, "I wish I knew it sooner before I paid them, and now it is too late". I have been speaking to a few moving companies that European Moving (aka App a Van) worked with before. They owe them crazy amounts of money as well. No one wants to work with them anymore! Daniel Blanche has a really bad reputation across european movers. I hope people will open their eyes to the feedback and avoid this company at all costs! ************************************* Update 05/05/2022: Full ignore from Daniel Blanche (the director of all European Moving companies), no refund, no payment based on what the UK Court has ordered. They just stole our money and didn't have a .... By the way, NOTE: European Moving (EM) and App a Van have the same owner, Daniel Blanche, and they operate together, so don't fall victim to both companies. A new name doesn't mean it is different. I had two invoices from EM and App a Van for one service, which they never delivered. ************************************* Update from 04/08/2021: Today, 27/11/2021, almost a year has passed since we paid European Moving for the services they never delivered. No further contact from them or indication when they will refund the money. Our Victims Facebook group is also growing. We have 34 members already, and more and more people are becoming their victims every day. (Brexit and Covid are no excuse anymore)... ************************************* Original review from 26/05/2021: We booked removals with European Moving for January 2021 and paid in full for their services. They cancelled less than 24 hours before the move because they never bothered to prepare for Brexit, even though their sales team assured us for weeks that there would be no issues. We lost the money we paid, and we have to pay double for the new moving company as it was booked at the last minute! I went to court to recover the debt after they never paid after numerous emails. We got a CCJ against them for almost £2,800(!) in April 2021. Though it looks like they don't care. In fact, to avoid paying the debt, they changed their ltd name from EUROPEAN MOVING TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED to DPB STORAGE LIMITED on 13th May 2021. Don't be fooled by positive reviews. Do you really want to risk losing your hard-earned money? You might be lucky, but if not, you will never see it again. In fact, we later discovered that it is not normal to ask for full payment upfront. Usually, only 30% is paid before the move and the rest when the goods arrive.

You’re appalling reply to a years legal battle with you… you are a disgrace Danial Blanch as are your directors… you change company name all the time with Companies House to avoid customers chasing their claims you change directors all the time for the same reason … you business is now known to the Business Secretary of State to stop this mal practice you will not win by this totally inappropriate business practice … you simply did not turn up nothing to do with Brexit or the Covid pandemic your using that as a pathetic and feeble excuse for your poor fraudulent business practice Our systems show that you paid for services with our company European Moving around 12/1/2020 to France for the sum of 1894.83. This letter details how we are looking to compensate our customers in the best possible way. The business world has suffered hugely over the last few years due to Brexit and The Pandemic. This has hit our industry as much, if not more, than most due to us being a purely cross-border operation. Given these event’s several of our subsidiaries across the EU and the UK are no longer trading. A mix of the ongoing issues already mentioned, along with the UK Government backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILLS) not being a viable option for us, has caused these closures. We are very keen to reach a resolution with our customers and rebuild our business, which had been trading successfully prior to these events. As a result, we are now offering all our customers vouchers to the value of the original amount paid. Given the above circumstances, we have placed a credit (or voucher) on one of our new companies which can be used anytime from 01/04/2022 with no end date. We will be adding an additional credit of 200E euros/GBP onto the overall value of your credit/voucher. We also understand that you may not be planning on moving anytime soon and therefore we are happy for the value of the voucher below to be transferred to a 3rd party, a friend, colleague, or family member. Additionally, there will be no expiry date to your credit/voucher. We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to you and look forward to welcoming you back as a customer again soon. 1894.83GBP +200 GBP Kind Regards Daniel Blanche

Only giving one star as can not give zero stars. Disaster from start to finish. Anything fabric damaged and grease dirty including boot prints over couches and mattresses. About 1.5 months late incurring us storage charges. Claims department about as useless as moving department. DONT USE THIS COMPANY

This whole thing is a sham. Please do not believe any of the positive reviews you see below, they are all fake. European moving are a bunch of thieves. Almost 12 months since I paid for a removal which never happened. I have submitted my case with the European Consumer Rights commission in Madrid, and they are in the process of looking into this farcical company and hopefully, in turn, this will finally mean I get my money back. Stay away from this company, you will 100% lose your money if you don’t.

We had a fantastic experience with European Moving! We moved from Glasgow to Santander. We used 2 dedicated vans to move all our belongings. Agop, our European moving coordinator, was really helpful and approchable during the whole process. Regarding the drivers allocated to the move they were really helpful and professional. The move went well, everything arrived in good condition and as scheduled. I am really glad that I chose them to move our stuff to Spain. 100% recommended

I used European Moving (EM) for the second time while moving from Derry in Northern Ireland to Loughborough recently. Overall, I would say that my experience was good in terms of the costs, security of items and time of delivery (I got my items at the destination the early next day which was super convenient). One of the things that EM could do better on is the timing of drivers that is relegated to the customers. In my case, I choose the option to have the driver come over in the morning window (8 am - 12 pm) and requested that the driver be sent as soon as possible. I was told that it is highly likely that the driver would be there by 10, if not 8. Instead, the driver came at around 1215 which was inconvenient was me as it impacted my subsequent plans. Another thing that was a bit problematic was the documentation for the move. I was asked to get a TOR (Transfer of Relief) form for my move by EM. This was actually not required since my move was within UK and it is only needed to avoid customs on your personal belongings when somebody is moving to UK from abroad. This did give me a headache as I was asked to do this around 10 days before my move and HMRC has a timeline of two weeks for issuing TORs. Having said that, everybody is adapting to the extra paperwork caused by Brexit and this could have been the reason for the problems I faced with EM.
