Disastrous Experience. Beware!

Disastrous Experience. Beware!

Moving is already a stressful endeavor, but when a supposedly professional removal company adds to that stress, it becomes an absolute nightmare. Sadly, this was my experience with TMS.

Initially, I was optimistic about their services. They provided a quote which seemed reasonable, answered emails and overall proactive, but on the moving day, they shockingly increased the sum they wanted to charge, citing vague reasons and blaming us for misunderstanding. This sudden change left me feeling deceived and financially burdened before the move even began.

To make matters worse, they changed the rules midway through the move, causing confusion and chaos. Items were mishandled, leading to significant damage to many of my belongings.

Adding insult to injury, they attempted to haggle over the insurance coverage, showing a complete lack of professionalism and integrity. It was clear that their priority was not customer satisfaction or rectifying their mistakes but rather squeezing every last penny out of their clients.

As if the above wasn't enough, several items never made it to their destination, leaving me scrambling to replace essential belongings and facing additional expenses and inconvenience.

In conclusion, my experience with TMS was nothing short of a disaster. Their unprofessionalism, dishonesty, and disregard for customer satisfaction are utterly appalling. I strongly advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere. Save yourself the headache and avoid at all costs.

Thank you for the review, Vlad. Although of course, this is disappointing to read as one of the business owners.

Following our offline email communication since you placed the review, for which some of the comments we were only aware of when placed, I would like to take the opportunity to reply to the points raised.

The additional volume and charges were in the contract you signed for with ourselves and clear from the offset.

You have not elaborated about what you mean in regards to changing plans, however, I cannot see evidence of this on communication or your file.

Our insurers are a renowned industry third party provider. Unfortunately, a number of your items were either not stated on your valuation form and/or were under valued by yourselves. Insurer terms and conditions were shared at the booking point and agreed to by yourselves when paying for the insurance.

In regards to missing items, your delivery was around 6 weeks ago and the first we were made aware of the weights was on this review. The inventory and proof of delivery show the same items collected were delivered. If items had have been checked and notified within the 7 day notification period, this could have been assessed further by insurers.

I have reached out to you personally since you placed this review, however, you have advised that you do not wish to engage further to allow me to try and resolve any issues for you.

With this in mind, I am sorry you have been unhappy with the service provided and wish yourself and Cristina all the very best.

Kind regards,

Melissa
Director

Top quality communication

Will update once we have shipped our belongings but wanted to write a review anyway as the communication we have received through the process thus far has been stellar!
Scott has been so very helpful and has answered multiple questions from our side along with having to deal with us postponing due to our visa process taking a whole lot longer than expected. He has been flexible and gracious throughout and we fully appreciate it!

This is first time I’ve ever had to make a sea freight shipment of my personal belongings including a range of furniture. The support and guidance received was exceptional with their knowledge and professionalism ensuring things ran smoothly. Great job! Would strongly recommend them as a professional business that could be trusted to deliver at every point of contact. Many thanks

A fantastic company!

A fantastic company that truly eases the stress of moving home. My experience with TMS was excellent throughout. They were friendly and helpful, clear and efficient from beginning to end. My removal was managed by Christian, who kept in touch on a regular basis with help and updates on the removal process. The packing team were equally impressive. They treated my stuff with such tremendous care. I took the option to have some boxes packed by TMS' team, and I was very happy to have done so, as they packed some fragile items with great skill. Overall, I was very impressed with their efficiency and their human touch. I can wholeheartedly recommend them. They are indeed top of my list for any future move!

Great Move!

TMS provided a competitive quote and were extremely helpful in answering the questions I had about moving back to London from Hamburg, of which there were many! The removal and delivery both happened within the appointed window and appropriate care was taken with my belongings. Overall I felt that I had received a service that was friendly, professional and tailored to my needs – on this basis I can thoroughly recommend them.

Best moving company

Moving with this company was the best decision I could have made. I relocated from the UK to Spain, and from the first moment, Christian and his team maintained constant communication, providing me with necessary and detailed information at each step, from required paperwork to helpful advice. On the day of the move, the team was friendly and efficient, and all my belongings arrived in less than a week and in perfect conditions. The unloading process was equally pleasant. I'm very grateful to TMS because, despite my initial fears about the moving process, they made it easy and uncomplicated.

Total Moving Solutions was able to Newfoundland

Total Moving Solutions was able to provide a very competitive moving solution to a location that many relocation companies weren't able to support.

The owner provided excellent support and guidance in the weeks leading up to collection. Once collection had been organised, we were regularly updated and delivery was organised two weeks after we relocated without any issues.
All the boxes were delivered as we shipped them.

Excellent service and I would highly recommend using total moving solutions.

Total moving solutions has just moved us to Canada

Total moving solutions has just moved us internationally from the UK to Canada. They are a friendly, honest and reliable team that have responded to all of my questions within hours. They have been upfront on costs, timing and the pitfalls of an international move, our house arrived when they said it would and not 1 item was damaged or broken. I highly recommend them to you.

Great service - thanks Mike

TMS were great. Hassle-free, no problems on either end of the delivery, and the price was really reasonable. Mike was always contactable, and was really on top of coordinating collection and delivery. This move was personal items being moved internationally, and there were no issues with damage. Everything was well wrapped once taken into TMS possession. If needed in future I will definitely be using them again, and would recommend.

Thank you for your review, Jakub.

I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with the service and insurance handling of your claim.

We are equally disappointed at the multiple alias reviews that you have taken to placing. While we understand and appreciate a review being placed, multiple in different accounts is not appropriate, misleading and
some would consider to be harassment.

To respond to points made:

Service Booked
Correct, the driver did not move your boxes as the service you booked on, due to your budget, was for a one-man collection. You were informed of the need to bring your boxes to the vehicle.

Missing Box
Based on records we hold, the documentation suggests that the box was never in the consignment. The same number of boxes collected are the same number of those delivered.

Insurance Claim
We have guided you through an insurance claim and it would seem you had undervalued the items you insured.

You have been offered £500 for the Lego sets on an entirely without-prejudice basis by insurers, as if they were to impose stricter sanctions on their terms and conditions, there would be no pay out based on information they hold.

You have refused this offer.

To conclude, we believe we have made all possible endeavors to resolve the matter, however, we cannot payout on items that are owner packed and damaged, as per ours and Insurers terms and conditions.

Many thanks,

James
