Sales good at taking your money up front. Removal men play good cop, bad cop. One extremely rude, the other apologising for behaviour but doing nothing about it. Rude one refused to wear a mask when he was supposed to! No response from management. Can't see how they stay in business.

Goddard's were extremely professional yet had the warmth & flexibility of a family firm. We found them very helpful, very cheerful! And came at the times promised. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and the price was very competitive. Thank you

They sell absolutely rubbish packing products - their tape doesn't even stay stuck to the thin, easy to fall apart and rip boxes that they provide! In fact I haven't found their tape to stick to anything properly and even cheap clear box tape from 1 type stores have been better quality than the rubbish they sold me at high prices. Also, the old guy in there couldn't be more rude, could he? When asking about the packaging products they advertise outside of their shop, he basically denied selling most of them! Eventually he conceded that he could sell me a few boxes and some tape, as a favour you know! What a tool.

Amazing place. Two floors of what - at first glance looks like junk - but is actually some very nice furniture. Historic and lovely older assistants. You could spend ages just marveling at everything.
