RemovalfromSwitzerlandtoSpainAtotalmess
As a cmmercial hook to get the business, they underestimated the total volume to transport, despite having sentin advance all the pictures and details of the things to transport. From an initial quote I finally had to pay 3 times more having to hire other companies to finish the job. A total mess. Never use Anyvan services again.
Removal
Do not use this company, they are crooks and find any way to defraud you out of your money . I booked for a dismantling and assembling removal service and sent a picture of the sliding double door wardrobe with my quote . So they new what the job entailed . They changed the price 3 times every time I spoke to them . On the phone They said they will send one man to the job . The driver turned up and refused to do the job . So I asked for my refund as they have done the job but anyvan refuses to give my £144 back . They are con artists AVOID at all cost , they need to be investigated
Movingofitems
Avoid completely. They work on commission over independent movers and they are TERRIBLE. Better off calling a smaller company directly.
After paying them over £1,000 they:
- Left a third of our things behind, including over 15 bags of clothes that were listed in the inventory
- Dropped off our things on the ground floor (since their agent did the booking wrong and didn't indicate it was going to the 2nd floor) and
- Delivered over 12 hours late.
They also work on commissions, so you're better off calling a smaller company directly. They repeatedly refused to admit things they had said and we had to ask them to listen to their call recordings. Afterward, they offered an insulting £30 discount on our next booking. As if we would ever book anything with them again....
Also, they clearly said when booking that they would be able to move additional items - as you can see in their corporate response below, they now deny this. Good luck the calls are recorded! ;)

Booked a date to pick up a fridge, they got the date wrong and rang me a day early to sat we are ready to pick up your fridge,I said it's tomorrow,I know I put the date in correctly because I am not an idiot,they made a new date and charged me 50 percent of the previous price on top so basically I was ripped off and charged 110 pound to pick up and delivery a fukicng freezer that is 5 minutes away from the delivery address, these guys are robbing bastadrs

Dishonest business. Avoid at all cost.
Dishonest business. Full of lies. Money-extorting. I wasted my money and time and continually so as my formal complaint is not taken seriously. Use TaskRabbit instead, you get to work directly with drivers and review them directly as well. Use Gumtree instead, or any other platform. Stay away. You will end paying for the job and doing it yourself while more money will be asked of you. Comical, but true.
Movingservices
AVOID. Disgusting scam of a company. Sent a group of men and a van who arrived, chainsmoked the whole time, refused to carry out the job saying there wasn't permitted parking, despite me finding bay parking alternatives for them, they still refused while sneering in my face saying "I've been doing this for 15 years darling". After an hour of not doing anything, and me desperately trying to find alternatives, they drove off and blocked my number. It took me an hour to get through to customer service ON THE DAY OF MY MOVE, where they told me they're keeping the £300 I paid saying it's within their rights to do so. I used Compare The Man And Van in the end - they arrived finding me very upset, parked up, did the job in half an hour - truly professional, lovely, honest, hardworking people and company. ABSOLUTELY AVOID ANYVAN unless you want to be conned out of your money and time, as well as the awful customer service. I can't believe they are pocketing my money despite me showing photo evidence of parking spaces and not carrying out the service.
Removal
Absolutely shocking company they are brokers nothing more get a cheap local company and weld on their profit. My removal was two guys who could barely speak English so difficult to have them understand also one man could barely walk and struggled with furniture. I have now got a ruined sideboard that was scratched in move but apparently I’m not covered for that but was offered an amazing £18 compensation to help soften the blow of a £450 replacement. Stay well clear and save money by going to the local guys as half the price and going to be the same quality anyway.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! BEWARE PLS READ THE FOLLOWING.......
We booked your service on 30th June 2023 at 0900am to 1100am. Your staff called at 1030am telling us they cannot arrive due to a flat tire (which I believe is a complete and utter lie due to what happened during the rest of the day), they said they will call us again to reschedule around lunch time.
We received your call around 1pm informing us of your arrival at around 1530pm to 1600pm which would by then be 7 hours later than scheduled. And again at 1600pm, another call to us telling us that the driver is coming from Birmingham!! It takes 3 hours to arrive in Exeter and finally they arrived at 2045pm.
After 45 minutes of loading the goods, they got into a serious argument which I believe is with your company, waking up all the neighbours nearby and they stop loading, the situation was settled but after another moving of 45 minutes, they started arguing again and neighbours are so annoyed by your staff.
Then, your staff suddenly asked us for delivery the next day which I definitely refused at that moment. I strongly requested for them to honour our agreement and we both drive to the same destination in Telford. The loading finished at 2300pm and I confirmed with your driver the estimated arrival will be around 0200am.
By 0600am no one turned up, your person in charge, your driver were both not taking my calls. All my property and personal belongings were in your possession and we had no idea when or whether it would arrive.
This service is absolutely diabolical.

The driver was so nice. If I was to vote for him, I'd give five stars but the company sucks. The person (Sara) on the customer service team, promised to help me on the day, but she was nowhere to be found. I thought you were trustable SARA. Such a disappointment... And the driver was just made it before 10am as he was sent to Birmingham in the early morning and the van was booked for domestic travel. How on earth the driver got multiple jobs where I have to be on time for that storage room. And I told each one of the people I've spoken with. Ridiculous company. I won't use it anymore
Anyvan
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. The worst experience of any service, ever. They took our money, we're so chaotic they didn't order a van and have kept our £243. Now we are taking them to court to get out money back. What happened is that we wanted a van to pick up a sofa in the Lake District and take it to the East Midlands. Simply enough eh?One pick up and one drop off! Anyvan said they could do it for £243, but insisted on payment upfront. Anyvan even choose the date and time. we drove to the lake district to make sure the sofa was not left in the street. We got there early, we waited, and waited, but no van! Rang Anyvan, they then told us they had forgotten to order a van, and there was no van coming to pick up our sofa. Nothing we can do, we were told! Terrible, terrible service. Talk about hung out to dry and sod your luck mate,and to top it off, they have kept our money!!! So we were left in the street with a sofa and my wife in floods of tears. What were we to do with a sofa in the street 200 miles from where Anyvan promised they would deliver it? I ended up driving to Manchester to hire a van (thank you Arnold Clark, you are a life saver) driving back to the lake district, struggling with the sofa on my own, driving to East Midlands, delivering it at Midnight, then driving back home for 2am. 600 miles and a 20hr day! Thanks to the chaos caused by Anyvan. The worst service ever was not over though! I have written to all 3 directors to get my money back, they didn't ever bother to reply, so, they have my £243, it cost me £180 van hire=£423 out of pocket, and a wife back in depression. What do I have to do get my money back from these people. DO NOT USE ANYVAN AT ANY PRICE, THEY ARE TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.
