Report
Like lots of reviews on here, main complaint is rude central office staff, with absolutely no idea on customer service. 1 container was late, and when it did arrive, the Fridge was damaged (several external dents) on arrival, though a claim was eventually sorted. In 2022, these companies are increasingly becoming like dinosaurs as the power of the consumer review catches up with them. I would strongly recommend not using a removals company for storage as well, as it makes it difficult to negotiate on delivery date issues, when they are holding your stuff.
Here is an copy-paste response from an email when i advised i would be leaving a poor review; "If any part of any review you might place is libellous I will pass your file to our legal department with a view to seeking damages". Not a pleasant way to speak to a customer who had already paid thousands of pounds for removals and storage services. Not a 1-star review, as the removals teams on the ground were absolutely fine, and quite helpful.

Report
Overall a fairly good job but there were a few issues. A nice man came to size up the job and quote; so far so good. On the day they were very late arriving. I had to ring to find out where they were; turned out their truck had a puncture the day before and they were getting it fixed - why didn't they call to update us? When they did arrive they sent an extra team of men to speed it all up but it all got a bit frantic and some things were packed that should have been left.
Next day the delivery was by a different team of men who weren't familiar with the load so it took a bit longer than it should have. I had agreed to do most of the unpacking; Armishaws were going to pick up the empty boxes later. I waited and waited and called and waited but they never showed. Eventually they said I should dispose of them my self. They could have made that decision a lot sooner. I got a 'white van man' to come and get them - he was delighted. So was I. Nearly 3 stars but just edging into 4 stars.

I had used Armishaws in the UK some years ago with good results, so went straight to them again for an international move this summer. From initial contact, through customs paperwork and packing in the UK to arrival in our new home in Europe, I found them to be very professional and helpful. It was a slightly complex job, as we were only moving some of our possessions and the delivery location was not accessible to a large vehicle, but only the right stuff found its way onto the van and everything was taken in their stride.
It was particularly helpful that they were able to accommodate some short notice changes from us without stress. I found the office staff and the operators to be professional and courteous throughout. The end result was on time, with nothing lost and no damage to either our possessions, walls or door frames. It was particularly welcome that the delivery crew made sure our new neighbours were not inconvenienced. Will definitely use them again.
