😡 avoid unless you want to replace furniture

😡 Broke wardrobe whilst moving, Nelsons response they not meant to dismantle furniture so nothing they can do
14 Nov 2023
I am sorry you were not happy with our services. The removal was carried out under a fixed price which did not include extra services such as dismantling and re-assembling furniture of which we informed the customer. However, one of our team knew the customer and as a favour told her he could dismantle the wardrobe but not re-assemble it as there was not time to do that, to which the customer agreed and said her son would re-assemble it at the new property. Then after the move took place when the son was attempting to re-assemble the wardrobe it was claimed the wardrobe had been damaged. The customer was informed that the service was not including to dismantle or re-assemble items. As it was done as a personal favour between herself and one of our team and with her agreement, therefore we cannot be held responsible.

Thank you for your comment, I am sorry you were inconvenienced whilst we were moving the people in next door to you. As you can appreciate with large removal vehicles it is not always possible to park without causing temporary inconvenience, which we always try to keep to a minimum. I can assure you this is not our usual standard of service, and the matter will be looked into.

Nelsons were a pleasure to deal with for my sons house removal. There was far more to move than we first thought but nothing was a problem for the lads. they just turned up and got on with it with no fuss, even providing an extra van when the big one they brought got full. All the staff very friendly, proffessional and easy to deal with and the price was very reasonable. would not hesitate to recomend or use again.

Very impressed with service

Best service I have experienced with a moving company so far. From booking to completion, staff were friendly and helpful. Especially Clayton and Sam were an outstanding team on the day of my move. Nothing was too much trouble, they were extremely polite, hardworking, friendly, careful and went out of their way to have all my belongings safely arrive in my new home. I can highly recommend Nelsons and certainly would use them again. Thank you - you made a stressful time more manageable for me.
