Well silly season really has kicked in and I'm just off the phone to a couple who I visited 7 weeks ago to do a home visit and provide a quote to.. They were clearly upset as had just received a TEXT from their chosen "Movers" (I use this term VERY lightly) letting them know they couldn't do the job as it wouldn't fit in their van!!
I had quoted for 2 large Luton vans and 3 men and received a call a few days after Michele emailed the quote to ask if I could match the price which I said I would try to if like for like and to send me their emailed quote.
No quote just a TEXT quoting for 1 van and 2 men 12 noon - 5pm!!!
This was a purchase chain move and 3 bedrooms, 2 lounges, garage, shed and garden furniture!!!
I explained this would end in tears as the " Quote" didn't cover their move and belongings and it wasn't like for like so I could and would never match it as we had quoted 8am arrival, load 2 full vans safely using protection on the items and property and price was until completion!!!
So...We DIDN'T get the job and are fully booked today so have passed a couple of numbers over BUT the chances are slim to zero getting these guys TODAY...
So cheapest isn't always best, Always check the quotes cover what you need and ask questions before booking...
Have a fab day folks.
