Pickfords Reviews

"After deciding to pay a premium for the Pickfords service rather than a local operator, the sales pitch was slick with detailed promises of service levels. The post sales pitch and agreement signing was also slick but the service levels slip drastically when it comes to the packing and move day. The moving team are hit and miss, some are exceptionally co-operative and assist\/fulfil their role, others were only keen on moaning and demanding endless tea. The move sequence was not as promised, double handling and access issues despite their own assurances that this would not accrue. Specific agreements to dismantle, move, store and rebuild gym equipment has not materialised. In fact, most of the kit was dragged across gravel driveways causing cosmetic and operational damage to several pieces of kit inclusive of a Peloton tread. At move in time, several impacts \/ damage to door frames and alike were caused. I can understand that accidents happen, but this was careless and negligent issues, not accidental. It is a conscious decision to drag kit across gravel driveways - this is not an accidental decision. Furthermore, I am sure that the kit that the move teams are provided with could have avoided such a \"drag\" but no, they chose to drag and damage with little regard to what happened. As a result, 3 months on and I am still awaiting the rebuild of the gym kit and also the settlement of the damaged items and damage to the (brand new) house."

"I wish I had found this website before I went ahead and booked Pickfords Exeter for my removals and storage, because if I had, I would have avoided Pickfords!\r\nI have been left devastated with the damage they have caused, I have literally paid them to damage my possessions! They caused 80% damage to my possessions and in the process mislaid other items never to be seen. This company really do not care about their customers, the response I had from one of the managers 'we are sorry that you are not happy with our service'! Not a sorry for damaging my possessions! A real kick in the teeth! The insurance company they are affiliated to appear to be just as bad, its been almost two months and still no closer to getting the issue resolved with them, no contact number and only contact once a week. I am shocked that companys like Pickfords are getting away with this. Please please avoid at all costs"
