Exemplary service. Seamless white glove service.

What an incredible service. This company handled the delivery of nine works of art from the UK to Hamburg for us. We used their white glove service and it was exemplary. Seamless customs clearance, they sorted out all the paperwork & payment in advance. Adam was fantastic, and the paintings were delivered on time and in great shape. I would 100% recommend them. Trustworthy and reliable. Thank you Saphoy.

Dear Daniel,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that our white glove service made the transport of your nine artworks from the UK to Hamburg smooth and stress-free.
Customs and paperwork can often feel daunting, so it’s great to know that our team’s preparation and communication helped everything run seamlessly. Adam will be especially pleased to hear your kind words, as he takes tremendous pride in ensuring every piece is handled with care and arrives exactly as it should.
Your recommendation truly means a lot to us.
Thank you for trusting Saphoy with your artworks, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist you again in the future.

Excellent experience with SAPHOY

Our experience with SAPHOY was truly excellent, starting from an extended email exchange with Rachel that was not only professional, but also friendly and personal. They arranged and carried out the packaging and transportation of three large paintings from Venice (not an easy task given the complexities of transportation) to Nottingham. Everything was done in a timely (pickup Sunday, delivery Tuesday) and professional manner. The team (Adam and John) were clearly very experienced and it was fascinating to see them work with care, precision, and kindness. Needless to say that the paintings reached our children in Nottingham in perfect shape and have now found a place in their homes. If you care about your artwork and look for a serious company to move them, I VERY strongly recommend Saphoy.

Dear Anne,
Thank you so much for your generous and detailed review. We're thrilled to hear that your experience with Saphoy was such a positive one, from your initial conversations with Rachel to the careful handling and delivery by Adam and John.
Transporting artwork from Venice certainly comes with its challenges, and we're glad we could make the process smooth, timely, and reassuring for you and your family. It means a great deal to know the paintings arrived safely and are now being enjoyed in their new homes.
Your strong recommendation is truly appreciated, and we’re always here if you need us again.

Saphoy, when care and attention are paramount.?

From the moment I spoke to Adam at Saphoy, I felt that I was in capable hands. I had a 2 metre x 3 metre artwork to deliver to a new build in Manchester. They handled the pick up and delivery with precision and with a professional disposition. They were attentive throughout the commission and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Excellent company and value for money

Very professional company and value for money. They understand the market for moving precious goods (antiques/cars etc), gave excellent service throughout the process and took away all the stress of the export paperwork. The team that delivered everything was also courteous and on time. A rare great company!

An absolutely genuine group of people.

The lift to my 3rd floor studio was not in service, however the team on the day did not let this dampen the mood.
It is evident that this company has the right people working for them.
Would certainly recommend this company and will look forward to using them again.

Incredible service

The Saphoy team are absolutely excellent. I cannot recommend them enough.

We had to move and 2.5m wooden Gruffalo sculpture from a theatre in Manchester to a listed building in London. I had rung so many logistics companies who said they wouldn't be able to do it (including a company who moves aeroplane engines!) but Adam embraced it as a fun challenge! There was constant communication throughout the whole process, with photos of the Gruffalo's progress, and there was always someone at the end of the phone to answer my questions. The team even ended up making special equipment for the move, to make sure everything was extra safe.

The move into the listed building was done super quickly and efficiently, and the team were all excellent! They had thought of everything to protect the building itself, as well as the Gruffalo.

We are incredibly happy with the service received from Saphoy. Lovely experience, lovely people!

A truly tailored solution

My wife and I recently sold our flat in Paris in preparation of our retirement.
We had 30 pieces of artwork and sculptures that needed to be transported to the US, Uk and Australia.
The understanding and solution offered by Saphoy, was fantastic!
They adhered to our strict timeline and were extremely professional and catered to our exact needs.
Thanks to Rachel, for being our contact throughout what could have been a strenuous few weeks.

Professionals! 🌟

Saphoy was recommended to us by our local art gallery who assured us they had used their services on numerous occasions.

From the start, communication with Rachel & Adam was very precise and easy. A fine line to walk.

Additionally they were able to meet 2 tight deadlines including accommodating an unusual request.

Adam & Ashley were extremely professional and yet treated our sentimental piece like it was their own. Truly remarkable.

They had a clearly formulated plan & so the execution on the day was very quick, making the entire process effortless on our part.

Saphoy was reliable, professional combined with a warm personal approach, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Adam is a proper legend. Saphoy were great the whole way through and i'd definitely use them again.

They even picked the tube up I purchased seperately on the way to London to pick my piece up and saved me a 3 hour round trip in the process.

Competitively priced, above and beyond customer service. Very pleased.

They conduct business with honesty and integrity!

They were exceptional! I would highly recommend them.
Not only did they do their best to provide me with a fast and affordable service. When there was a problem with their vehicle the account manager reached out and did their utmost to ensure that my art work was picked up and brought to me on time.

I have since recommended them to friends and will be using them in the future!
They conduct business with honesty and integrity and in turn that has given me ease of mind in my customer experience.

Top service

A wonderful, professional and efficient service. I had a precious painting which was of great sentimental value to me sent over from New Zealand to the UK after the passing of my mother. The customer service was so friendly and the collection/delivery of my property dealt with so promptly and proficiently, it made a very difficult time a little easier for me. Many thanks to the team and I highly recommend this service to those in need.
