Thank you to Nelson’s

Nelson’s moved us from Lanchester to Penrith this week. Huge thanks to all the lads who worked hard to make sure all furniture was placed where we wanted it. They even offered to move a couple of items about to make sure they were in the best place in the room.

Road rage

1
This is not about their service
This is about the driver on the a69 Sunday morning The 10th of November, Remembrance Sunday
Causing a long queue, then absolutely flooring it
Drivers weren’t happy, but the driver of one of their vehicles decided to just give them all the finger

Disgusting driving

Untrustworthy and dishonest company

1
They caused damage to my fridge. Upon raising the concern with them I was told I was lying and it was either damaged beforehand or I had done it. Neither of which is true. Just a horrible company to deal with

😡 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.
