Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
Good. I had packed most items in boxes which I had labelled the contents on the outside. I did ask the team to put everything in the garage with labels facing the front which was done in part; the other slight difficulty was that they have put some big boxes at the top which are quite heavy to get down as I am flying solo

How would you rate our communication?
10/10

How can we improve our service?
Maybe just to consider that not everyone moves as a couple and therefore stack boxes accordingly

Admin side of things, very helpful and professional
