Terrible movers. Used Pickford's to move our belongings to New Zealand. Really bad customer service, lots of delays, surprise extra charges and breakages. The worst part, they lost some of our things during the move and managed to wriggle out of taking any responsibility so the insurance won't pay out. I don't know if other moving companies are any better, but I can't see how they could be much worse. Avoid.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Pickfords moved me from Bristol England to Washington. They left two critical and valuable pieces of furniture behind at the warehouse when they loaded the container and since then despite multiple phone calls and emails, they have not been responsive. They do not return phone calls or messages.

I used Pickfords baggage for a large move to the other side of the planet. The process was brilliant, in fact it was flawless. I then recommended them to my father, who has organised a smaller shipment of a mere 3 items to the same destination - with Pickfords. I have never experienced such a poor service in all my life. I don't know if Pickfords baggage is the same company or not, or if they merely use the same core branding name.
It may explain some of the differences but for what was an easier shipment, 9 months apart, I am flabbergasted how a companies service and process can deteriorate so dramatically. If this review stops one single person from going through the pain and inconvenience I have just experienced then at least some good has come of the process. I imagine my shipment has more chance of getting to Mars than ending up on my doorstep.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness I used Pickfords for a move last year. They broke several promises along the way, where late and damaged loads of our property due to unprofessional handling. I strongly advise to not use Pickfords if you value your items Services: Vehicle transport, Moving-related packing
