Perfect for clearing the house with no time limit. We were able to leave it on the driveway for a few weekends and take our time sorting the house. Collection process was easy and no sooner had it... See more

I've used HIPPO a number of times and the service is always quick and faultless, from the receipt of the empty bag to the collection of the full one. The collection drivers are quick to remove the bag... See more

Great all round, would use again, only thing that they could improve is give you an indication of what day it will be picked up, as very vague for this part.

I have used Hippo bags many times now…

I have used Hippo bags many times now and every time has been great. The times I have met the driver has been friendly and chatty. Great.
I have had to contact customer service over a discount code previously and everything was sorted out quickly and professionally yet definitely with the personal touch of an understanding human.
I already have another bag already just waiting to be filled.
Thank you Team Hippo

Perfect for resin drives

Excellent service and really solved the problem of potential damage to my resin bound drive that a normal metal skip would make. It's my go to service and solution - love it!!

Customer service agent at contact…

Customer service agent at contact centre was unprofessional and rude.
Completely unnecessary and unacceptable given the amount of money a collection is.

Driver however was amazing, helped throughout, polite, considerate and generally a nice guy. Hopefully he comes to our next collection! However this will be my last collection with hippo.

Good service

Had to call customer services a couple of times as I couldn't put my order through & just wanted to enquire when the bag would be collected once collection arranged. Both times the people I spoke to were great and very helpful. No complaints about service given

Do not use this company!!!

Paid for xx large man with a van. They quite happily took our money straight away and they never turned up! Left my 85 year old mother extremely upset as she had been waiting for them all day in 31 degree heat. When she tried to contact them they fobbed her off, they said they would confirm by text that they would collect first thing the next day. Well they haven't! They never turned up and fobbed her off again the next day when she rang them. She was in tears when she spoke to me. I live in New Zealand I chose this company so that I could help her and because they had positive reviews. If you want to keep your sanity then don't use this company.

Very efficient service

Very efficient service. Collection was excellent and just a few days after I requested this online. I took the full six months to fill my Hippobag.
