Report
Heirs moved my belongings into storage where I was stuck because of lockdown. On unpacking I found damaged furniture and a 2 year old tv, broken beyond repair. Richards reply you can't claim from me as it been storage too long and we didn't do the damage. They moved it they packed the tv they stored it how is in not there fault. I have sofa that has had the leather gouged from the arm dining chair that has been forced into something that has scratched all the varnish off the leg and the tv as mentioned.
I was present when the unit was unloaded and the sofa and chairs were removed with the damage, I was unaware of the tv damage until it was being set up in the new house.cant blame not our fault is not the response I would expect from a professional company. Not what I paid for
