AVOID SHOFER Ltd transport AT ALL COST!
Please DO NOT trust this company with your belongings or pets. They reschedule multiple times , lie, threaten before delivering the goods. I have booked half a van with them to move countries and ended up with only a part of space I have paid for, ending up with 30% of my stuff still in the house. I was promised that the rest will be taken next week. I booked two delivery addresses in the same town, one for my Pet and one for my belongings (self storage). I had made sure 1. They can do it 2. Paid full service to have these delivered to two address. The driver called my HANDICAPPED mom (which I informed them in advance that we will need someone to unpack the van for us) that he arrived at the first address (where just the pet was supposed to be delivered) and he doesn’t care for the rest, he will drop all the things here and now on the street. What kind of treatment is that?
When I called the office to clarify what’s going on and hear back that “we never agreed to two addresses” (I have messages for this and there was multiple phone calls) I called them unprofessional and unserious. Then the “owner” picked up the phone said he’s feeling insulted and will never speak to me again. WHAT! I was told that if I don’t pay the remaining balance right away they will take everything including my dog and dump it somewhere and I can look for it myself.. imagine how scared and freaked out I was!!! After some negotiating with the driver he finally agreed to take things to the second address. While unpacking, they tried to come in inside SMOKING in a place full of boxes. What the hell?! After they kept throwing our things, my mom had to hire two man who happened to be on site unpacking other storage to help her out, while the Shofer employees were helping standing around.
Week after I called the office and drivers again, I wanted to hold them accountable for taking the rest of the belongings. First I was told they will be coming on a Monday, they never arrived. I had to leave the flat, I was forced to pay another company to take the rest of my things which doubled all my moving costs. Thanks to company DAREK TRANS everything was concluded professionally. They saved my day as I was already out of my old house with expensive equipment basically out on the street.
The review is published 3 weeks into trying to deal with Shofer LTD , many messages and unanswered phone calls because according to the “owner” Tomasz I am the one in the wrong.
He said all phone calls are recorder. I wish it were true so I could publish them for everyone to hear how this company actually deals with clients! If I find a way to report them to British government - I will!
