Damages and Insurance Issues
The reviews highlight some concerns with damages caused during the moving and storage process. One reviewer experienced breakages to their goods stored in a container, which was tipped over and dropped during delivery. The insurance obtained through Nelsons proved to be ineffective, resulting in a payout that was significantly less than the value of the damaged goods. Another reviewer reported damages to their furniture, including a scratched table, a wardrobe with a nearly ripped-off door, and a broken mirrored door.
Lack of Communication and Resolution
The reviewers who experienced damages were unhappy with the company's response to their concerns. One reviewer was not provided with a full explanation for the damages and was still charged the full rental period despite not receiving all their goods back. Another reviewer had to chase the company multiple times via email and phone, only to be met with unreturned calls and emails.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, some reviewers had very positive experiences with the company. They praised the team for going above and beyond to help, being punctual, polite, and offering a good price. The reviewers were impressed with the strength and efficiency of the removal team.
