The jobs people bothered to write about afterwards.

Three-bed house moved in a single day and not one thing damaged. They wrapped a chest of drawers I would happily have thrown in the van myself.

Booked a 4am run to East Midlands and they were outside at ten to four. Spotless van, took all five of us and the cases, and the price was what we agreed a fortnight earlier.

We use them for office deliveries now. Fixed price every time, and the paperwork actually arrives with the invoice instead of three weeks later.

Bought a sofa off Marketplace 40 miles away with no way to collect it. Two of them turned up, carried it up to a first-floor flat and took the wrapping away.

Twelve desks moved on a Friday night and we were trading Monday. The crates were labelled to our own floor plan, so nobody spent Monday hunting for their monitor.

Flight landed ninety minutes late at Heathrow. Driver was still in arrivals with the board and did not add a penny for the wait.

Second-floor flat, thirty-four steps, no lift. Three of them had it loaded by eleven and my bed was built again by three.

Asked them about moving a piano and they told me straight that it needed a specialist. Refreshing to be told no instead of finding out on the day.
