We would like to offer you the following advice to help you make an informed choice whomever you choose to hire.
Do not make your decision based solely on price.
Watch out for cowboy operators. The van and man service is unregulated allowing anyone with a vehicle to advertise, giving a poor service with no guarantee's for the customer.
Check for: (A) Goods In Transit Insurance. (B) Public Liability Insurance. (C) Business Vehicle Insurance.
Ask to see copies of the above certificates.
A business should have a checkable telephone land line and address. Never use a company with just a mobile telephone number.
Almost all legitimate businesses now have a multi-page website. Avoid businesses with a single page website's as these are generally free to set up.
It is dangerous to let a man you do not know into your home. Try to get a friend or a member of your family to be with you when the van arrives.
A firm that seems a bargain may have no insurance, run unreliable vehicles, disappear with your belongings or let you down at the last moment.
