What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, whether justified or not, that requires a response. This may include concerns about:

Service quality during a move or collection.

Timekeeping, delays, or missed appointments.

Conduct or behaviour of our staff or drivers.

Handling of items, property, or belongings.

Charges, invoices, or any aspect of our pricing once explained.

Communication before, during, or after the work.

If you are unsure whether your concern counts as a complaint, you may still contact us and we will guide you.

How to Make a Complaint

You should raise your complaint as soon as possible after the issue occurs, so that we can investigate it effectively. When making a complaint, please provide the following details:

Your full name and any reference or booking details relating to your move.

The date and time of the service, and the address where the service was carried out.

A clear description of what happened and why you are dissatisfied.

Details of any loss or damage, including photos if available.

What outcome or resolution you are seeking.

You can raise a complaint verbally or in writing. Written complaints are preferred, as they provide a clear record of your concerns and help us respond more accurately.

Stage One: Initial Complaint Handling

At the first stage, we aim to resolve most complaints quickly and informally.

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a reasonable timeframe.

Where possible, the person handling your booking or the relevant staff member will review the matter.

We may contact you to request any further information or clarification needed.

We will attempt to resolve the issue promptly, explaining any findings and offering an appropriate solution where required.

In many cases, issues such as minor misunderstandings, small delays, or straightforward service concerns can be resolved at this stage.

Stage Two: Formal Review

If you are not satisfied with the outcome at Stage One, or if the issue is more serious or complex, you can request a formal review of your complaint.

At this stage, your complaint will be considered by a more senior member of our team who was not directly involved in the original incident wherever possible.

We will review all available information, including your original complaint, any evidence provided, and our internal records of the service carried out.

We may contact you again to obtain additional details or supporting information.

Following this review, we will provide you with a clear response setting out:

The outcome of the investigation.

Any findings and reasons for our decision.

Any remedy, corrective action, or goodwill gesture we consider appropriate.

Timescales for Handling Complaints

We aim to handle complaints as swiftly as possible while allowing sufficient time for a thorough investigation.

We will acknowledge your complaint promptly after receiving it.

We will then work to provide a full response within a reasonable period, depending on the complexity of the issue and the availability of information.

If we are unable to provide a final response within our usual time frame, we will let you know and explain the reason for any delay, along with an updated timescale.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Following our investigation, we may decide on one or more of the following outcomes, depending on the facts and our terms of service:

A full explanation or clarification of what happened.

An apology where we consider our service has fallen below the expected standard.

Corrective action to prevent a similar issue in the future.

A review of our procedures or staff training.

Where appropriate and in line with our terms, a financial or service-based remedy.

Any remedy will take into account the nature of the complaint, the impact on you, and our contractual obligations.

Your Responsibilities When Making a Complaint

To help us deal with your complaint fairly and effectively, we ask that you:

Provide accurate and complete information about the issue.

Raise your concerns as soon as reasonably possible.

Communicate with us respectfully and allow us time to investigate.

Do not knowingly make false or misleading statements.

Work with us constructively to reach a fair resolution.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

We treat all complaints in confidence. Information you provide will only be shared within our organisation as necessary to investigate and resolve your complaint. We will handle any personal data in line with applicable data protection laws and our internal policies.
