@OpenSolutionsL I couldn’t fault the 3 removals men. They were fantastic! The company’s customer service team, their complaints policy and most importantly their unbalanced policy around the impact of being late needs HUGE improvement.

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

Thanks for the recommendation @OpenSolutionsL. They finally arrived at 4.30. Doing a good job so far! Shame customer service at @AnyVan let the company down!

[Patrycja Maksymowicz @FounderSclrlabs]

@AlidaBallard should have checked @RemovalExperts hope you have managed to move house in the end!

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

@AnyVan Will your response be any different to your customer service rep? He told me it wouldn’t make any difference who I talked to. The reply would be the same. £15 goodwill gesture and I just have to wait till they turn up!

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

Booked @AnyVan to help move house today. Full payment taken on Tues. Time slot of 12-2pm. Rang them at 2.10 to be told they will not be here till around 4!! They charge £48 ph waiting time should a client be late but giving a ‘goodwill’ gesture of £15 and told to wait! Appaling!

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

@AnyVan If your customer service rep is right, me sending you a DM would not make any difference. Think people should know what they should expect if they book with @AnyVan. Everything is great until the actual day. If there are problems, don’t expect them to let you know.

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

@AnyVan Also, I was told repeatedly by Miles, your customer service rep that it wouldn’t matter who I spoke to. The response would be the same. £15 compensation, wait for the driver tracker to start when the driver leaves his last job but no update call would be made by @AnyVan HQ.

[Alida Ballard @AlidaBallard]

@AnyVan I had no problem with the whole process up until the actual moving day! Communication on the phone and emails were excellent. Unfortunately there was nothing from @AnyVan to say there was a problem on the actual day. No comms or much compensation for delays which are not my fault

[AnyVan @AnyVan]
