Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

This company are very cheap to book compared with competitors. But....be warned, that comes at a price!!!
The company itself has no accountability. The contracts, emails and phone calls mean nothing.
We paid for two vans three weeks in advance to collect our household belongings from S.W.France and deliver to the UK. However, on the day of collection we were informed the vans would be arriving TWO days later!!! Our emails, messages, phone calls etc were largely unanswered for the whole day. Stress levels were through the roof! We had to cancel hotel bookings and ferry crossings and inform solicitors that we could not vacate the house (house sale) for two extra days. It was very clear that any additional costs to us would not be covered by European Moving.
Two days later and the vans arrived over two hours late!! The whole experience was hugely stressful. Do not use this company. If you do, do not relax until the vans actually arrive. Do not believe the promises or the emails or the contract. It all means nothing until the vans appear.
In hindsight, we should have paid an extra £1000 and employed a professional company to help with our house move.
My advice..... Stay away from this company!!

Edit***In response to their reply below, I would like to add that the company are continuing to lie and mislead any new potential, prospective customers. They did not inform us in advance of the two day delay. We had emptied the contents of our house out onto the driveway to help speed things up, only to be informed at 5pm that day, after a whole day of being ignored via email & phone that our drivers would not be with us for another two days. They were unable to provide a reason as to why there was a delay other than there were no drivers available in our area (despite our booking being made and paid for weeks in advance). Their response also alludes to the fact that this was all agreed to by us. Well, what option did we have? They already had our money and we were not in a position to pay out thousands of pounds to an alternative removal company. It certainly wasn't an amicable, mutual agreement, more a gun against my head type scenario. It's a shame that the customer service team online can't be redeployed to work in their offices and answer the multiple phone messages and emails this company undoubtedly receive from aggrieved customers. Perhaps if they had been as quick to respond on our removal date with as thorough an explanation (although lies) we might have been a little more understanding. Our original review and advice still stands. Avoid!

Dear Alister,

We express regret about your unsatisfactory move to the UK. Please accept our apologies for all the difficulty you had to face. We understand the frustration about changing simultaneous plans when one goes out of order. Change in the collection date was informed to give you a 3-day window to change your moving plans. We work hard for a removal to be successful and timely, that is the reason we inform our customers in advance not to make any bookings on the day of collection to avoid any gaffe. As the van encountered an unusual fault, we informed you in advance about a 2-day delay and gave a go-ahead only after you approved. Transport business does sometimes suffer such small speed bumps but we do try our best to give you the best possible service. Plus we deeply apologise for the communication part and the trouble you had to face trying to connect with our support team. That has been taken very seriously by us and we are working on making our communication channels better. Be assured this will not recur in the future. We hope you will give us another chance to improve and serve you better next time. Wish you luck in the United Kingdom.

Best Wishes,
European Moving

Avoid at all cost: Waiting for a refund since August 2020

Avoid at all cost: We are still waiting for a refund since August 2020.

They are a bunch of scammers who does not even bother to answers emails. I believe the booking coordinators change their emails addresses every few months to ignore the complains. The payments team simply does not exist.

I would be insterested to hear from anybody in the same situation to start a Class action lawsuit against them. It might be the only way to recover our money...

European Movers helped us with our move…

European Movers helped us with our move to Bulgaria from the uk at the end of February
2021. Only two months after Brexit and in the middle of Covid lock down , the move was stressful to say the least. We had to get fit to fly certificates and arrange our flights around the move date.
We had arranged a van for the move, though 2 weeks prior to the date we realised we didn’t have
enough room with one vehicle, European Movers responded quickly and arranged a second van.
We had to do a full itinerary of our goods including weights, it was to protect us and the drivers ,
European Movers took care of the customs arrangements for us. On the day the vans arrived, though a little late which added a bit more stress but we were off, the vans were quickly loaded and set off. We took our flights the next day and arrived in Bulgaria , our goods turned up a few days later as expected , everything was unloaded with precision and all our goods were there and unbroken. I would recommend European Movers, though it is was extremely stressful, work with them and you should be fine.

!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!

!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!! Under no circumstances book this company. I can not begin to describe how horrific our relocation was. European Moving and particularly their logistical coordinator have an absolute disrespect for their customers once they have your money. There are many bad reviews.
Details: Our moving truck arrived 6!!! hours late at pickup and 2 hours early at delivery. NEVER were we informed on status even after asking specifically by mail and phone. Although the pickup time was confirmed per email, later the company's position was their contract does not provide a guaranteed pick up time. Nothing was done to cover the additional expenses we incurred having our load in crew waiting for 6 hours.
Forget about getting timely updates or agreements being kept to. If you want stress in your life this is the way to go. On top of this they use extremely underpaid drivers from Easter Europe. I felt truly sorry for our driver and made sure to give him food, drink and a generous tip. It is clearly not his fault how stupidly his schedule is planned to maximize profit. #exploitation With the exception of 2 customer managers that tried to help, and failed, it was a horrific experience at every turn. I can not stress enough, how strongly I recommend finding ANY other alternative to hopefully help you avoid having such an experience yourself.

I response to European Moving message. I escalated to a higher management person 3 times and was told they would contact me to at least speak. This never happened. Your reply and the actions of your Sr. Management are not aligned and demonstrates your company does not operate from a client centric perspective. You just write what you believe needs to be written to keep face. You can be absolutely assured I will NEVER use your services again, not even if they were free of charge. That's how strongly I feel about the treatment we received from you.

And UPS, DHL and FedEx are able to coordinate delivery to withing 30 Minutes in real time! There are these things called GPS, Mobile Phones and Logistics CRM now. Maybe you should look into them...

Dear Erik,

Thanks for notifying us about this issue. We totally understand how annoying it gets when things don't act as planned. However, in the travel industry, delays can sometimes occur due to traffic, delay in delivering someone else's goods before your collection or any other issue. That is the reason we always suggest our customers to not make any bookings on the same day as the collection. We are sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience trying to get in touch with our support team, that's not what we like to hear. Our customer's satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us and we will take all the necessary actions required in this case to resolve it so that it is not repeated in the future. I have shared your feedback with the higher management and we would be working on improving things for you and our future customers. Request you to give us a chance to fix it. Thanks again for taking out the time, we appreciate your patronage and hope to see you again!

Kind Regards,
European Moving

My overall experience with them is very good,

I have used the services of European Moving three times, both for inter and intranational moves. My overall experience with them is very good, especially in regards to their low prices. The (UK) commercial staff is friendly and the drivers (subcontracted east European companies) are very professional. It remains a low cost solution, but I recommend it, if this is what you are looking for.

Good service at a good price

I booked my move from the UK to Spain with European Moving and everything ran smoothly. They were cheaper than other companies and we were happy with the result, as the items arrived to their destination in 48 hours as promised and in the exact same condition we packed them.

The agent Madjid helped me throughout my move and offered me exceptional customer service. On the day of my move from Italy to Paris, Madjid immediately resolved all my issues as I was not happy with the driver. They are responsible and carefully moved my stuff. Thanks to European Moving.

Little late, but very nice driver

Very nice driver. We booked a morningslot and we were advised by Boris a week in advance that the driver would probably arrive between 8am and 10am. In the morning of our move Boris advised me that, due to a accident, the driver would arrive at noon. Unfortunately, the driver only showed up at 2pm. So, please calculate some extra time!
The driver made his quickly to The Netherlands and all of the goods were unloaded very swift.

Great Service

Highly competitive in price. Best thing is you can customize the service as per your requirement. The move went well, our driver arrived at pick up and reached the destination on time and all our items were in order. We booked their basic service as we didn't have enough stuff and I think the company offer more comprehensive services based on the requirement. A great experience!

Overall a very good experience

Overall a very good experience. No frills but still professional.

I was moving from the UK to Norway. European Moving was significantly cheaper than the other alternatives I could find, and obviously you start wondering why, but it looked legit and decided to try it out.

My experience:
* Did I get the information I needed before the move, e.g. regarding customs documents? Yes
* Could I get hold of them on the phone when I had a last minute question before the move? Yes, and they were friendly and helpful (had to call a couple of times to get through)
* Did the van show up on time? Yes, a few hours late, but that was (seemingly) third party related - from what I understand they are a booking agency, so those things can happen
* Was the van as promised? Yes, it was the correct size - not a fancy van, but I don't care
* Was the driver friendly and professional? Yes. His English was not the best, but we were able to communicate
* Did the van reach the destination on time? Yes, and he called an hour before to let me know he was getting close
* Were all my items in the same good condition when they reached the destination? Yes
* Any additional / surprising costs on top of the quoted price? No

This is not a high-end moving service, but if you're looking for a no-frills moving service that is still professional then I can definitely recommend European Moving.

We had a hiccup with the first date

We had a hiccup with the first date, which fell through at the last minute.

On rebooking, the service was fantastic, and the drivers were polite, efficient, and the whole move was a breeze because of this. You could tell they had packed the goods really carefully, and they helped unload which made everything much easier.

Despite the initial problem, we would definitely use them again.

There was a hiccup in finding the driver so I had to move everything to another place and leave for London myself. I was lucky I had my fianceé's parents who had space in their garage and who helped us, without them it would be a disaster. It took us the whole day transporting everything to another town in Germany, so a waste of my time and waste of energy. Once I arrived in London I asked for a refund and was told it would take 30-90 days. At last, they found a driver and everything was delivered in one piece. Super stressful in the beginning but fine in the end. Hence why 3 stars. Would I use them again? Probably not.

It's not a company, it's a pyramid scheme.

Over a year waiting for a refund. Cancelled our booking last March due to corona. Was promised a refund within 30 days. This was later extended to 90 days.

One year later and they have blocked our email and phone numbers leaving us no way to contact them.

We're filing our court papers tomorrow.

Dear Scott,

We are European Moving, and we chose that name because we do almost exclusively removals from one European country to another. Most of our business is from the UK to the continent or vice-versa. As such we were uniquely affected by Covid and Brexit between the end of 2020 and February 2021, first by the incertitude before the 31 Dec agreement, and then by the confusion on what the rules were, by the very people in charge of enforcing them.

While we did manage to weather the first lockdown despite a serious downturn in volume, these changes of rules also coincided with a secondary lockdown across Europe. The 2 issues together meant that the situation got so bad that our European drivers would not take the chance to come to the UK and risk being blocked on their way back and/or due to the risks at the time associated with Covid19. This lack of drivers, often at the last minute, resulted in a few people not receiving the service they were expecting and had paid for, on top of a dramatic fall in our turnover.

We are working hard to resolve these issues and we shall contact you individually in the coming week.

Kind Regards,
European Moving

Make up Your Own Mind!

We booked and paid for a van to take furniture from UK to France in August 2020. My husband and I were in France waiting the furniture and our daughter was organising things UK side. However, not only was the van 2 hours late, a lot smaller than booked, but the driver informed my daughter that he would not deliver the furniture unless we paid 800Euro on arrival in France. We had already paid 1200 Euro to EM. Our daughter rang us in France very distressed. My husband spoke to the driver and then to EM. After many calls backwards and forwards and major distress and worry on our part, we were finally assured that the furniture would be delivered without a ransom being paid. We spent an extremely worrying time wondering if it was going to arrive or not. The furniture –a third of which was left in UK- did arrive 24 hours later than scheduled and was unloaded. On complaining to EM, 6 weeks later they eventually agreed compensation of £150. By the end of November we had not received the funds. We contacted EM and eventually after many emails and calls were told it could take up to 90 days for the compensation to be paid. This came and went. We tried on numerous occasions to contact EM without response. On day 126 we did get a response telling us it would be passed to finance and the delay was due to Covid restrictions. I have since sent 2 further emails and spoken to a representative who assured me he would get back in touch by end of play last Friday on day 173. Needless to say, he didn’t. It’s now not only about the money, it’s about the shear lack of integrity and customer service. Frustrated, annoyed doesn’t begin to describe it!

Thieves

One of the most awful experiences I have ever had with a company
Thieves. DO NOT PAY THIS COMPANY. You might lose your money and no service will be provided.
One of the most awful experiences I have ever had with a company. They happily took my money, and when the day approached.. radio silence. Blocking my calls as soon as they saw my number. They told me they had problems with the van (that they subcontract).
They sent another subcontracted local company to pick my stuff "so they will pick them the next day", but this also never happened. Now this other company is asking me they cannot keep my stuff there anymore!! and obviously they dont answer their calls either (this guys must have a long list of blocked numbers). I had to pay another company to pick my stuff while these scammers don't even attampted to contact me or say anything.

RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

And please don bother to reply with one of your templated answers saying whatever excuses. Please save your time. I truly hope you end up in court and lose all the money you have scammed not only to me but to many others as I can see from the comments and you end up in jail. You deserve it for the suffering you are causing. These are people's beloved items!!

I am filing my case already.

Bear in mind the value of your items

Bear in mind the value of your items, it is just a man with a van service, so have helpers ready at hand, but it was much more cost-effective than the rest of the quotes I received and perfect for my purpose as I didn't have much in a way of delicates or valuable items. We did have a slight panic in that the Friday afternoon before the move was scheduled I received an email saying there was a problem with the truck coming through the border and could I delay the move for a few days. I was meant to be out the property that weekend and had booked my own travel from UK to FR, along with the covid tests travel time I didn't have much time to play with. And considering the move was scheduled for a Saturday communications were lacking quite significantly, I understand plans can change last minute but I felt this could have been handled much better.
That said the rest was easy. The goods arrived the next day and all in one piece.
