Hunts International Reviews 

Moved from France to Uk in July 2014 with Hunts. Removers arrived on day expected but only after we had telephoned to ask when they might arrive. They worked hard and well all day. I had to telephone 4 times to know when I might expect my furniture this end - delays in France(understandable), still unpacking the van, might be tomorrow, might be Monday.
Delivery day - Disaster. Man walked in carrying two snapped off legs of a dressing table. I showed him the cracked plate glass of the top and the points where veneer had been scratched. Several small breakages, a 3 d picture which had only been wrapped loosely in a blanket was broken in several places, a box containing 2 ft of books and other miscellaneous items was missing - never to be found. So disappointed by this awful service and difficulty of communicating with Hunts, we asked for the boxes in store to be delivered for which there was delay and large payment. Registered letter to Managing director - result an e mail from someone in the office. Reported them to Removals assoc who said they could only help if we failed to resolve matters. After much aggravation and many e mails and telephone calls, received payment for repairs, nothing for books because not individually insured plus small payment for goodwill.
Moved again last week November with Yeates. Perfect. Energetic fit men - NO BREAKAGES - nothing lost. What a difference

I used Hunts to move belongings from the South of France to the North of England. The quote was by far the most competitive, agreeing removal arrangements quick and efficient, the removal team turned up exactly on time in France, loading was very quick, delivery in the North of England again exactly on time as agreed and everything arrived in good shape - could not be more pleased with the service, would recommend Hunts unreservedly

Didn't get what I thought I was getting as it was farmed out to another delivery company and delivery date was much longer than I had expected. They don't live up to their publicity.

I was very pleased with the service provided by Hunts to move a part load of furniture and house contents to Spain. The receptionist was extremely helpful and an absolute delight to deal with, which made me choose this company over others. She negotiated the cost of all the items I wanted to have moved very fairly. The packers were very good and the load arrived in Spain about a week later, which was excellent service. Thank you Hunts, I would use you again!

TOTAL EXCELLENCE ***** From my first call to make my enquiry, to being advised, completing emailed documentation, received immediate on line quotation for the shipment to Southern Ireland. One of the most efficient companies I have had dealings with. All staff members were obliging, helpful and professional towards me. The three young men who came to collect, wrap, carry, pack & deliver were most helpful, kind hearted and left me knowing the items would be cared for & delivered to their destination without issues. GREAT to have done business with them.

The company was courteous and patient,as we were messed about a bit with our moving date. The communication was great and the phone staff very helpful. The removal guys were prompt,friendly and worked quickly and efficiently and when we met them at the delivery point,they unloaded carefully and put everything exactly where we wanted it. The prices were competitive,not the cheapest but we are more than satisfied with the service we received.

If you would like your furniture to arrive with that distressed look use Hunts International otherwise use another company.

Hunts International moved our possessions from our house in Crete, Greece to our new house in the UK. Due to negligence on their part Hunts International did not correctly protect our furniture in the manner I was told they would use and much of it was damaged.

On a number of occasions prior to the move I spoke to Hunts International to ensure I fully understood how they would move our possessions and how we needed to prepare. I realised it would be difficult for us to protect our furniture and asked what they suggested. I was told not to worry as Hunts International carried blankets and would protect all our furniture, it was only the boxed items that we should pack and which we would be responsible for adequate packaging. We also discussed liability and insurance, they told me that Hunts International had insurance to cover damage due to their negligence.

The Hunts International’s people arrived to collect and load our possessions. They arrived with a small dirty old van not one designed for international transport. After a few minutes we saw them removing our sofa without any protection. I spoke to them and they informed me they had been told to just collect and transport our goods, they had not been told to protect our furniture. I told them to wait and I would go to the shop to buy some plastic sheeting. When I returned only ten minutes later they were still loading our furniture without any protection. I gave them the sheeting which they refused to use. I telephoned Hunts International and informed them of what was happening, they said that they should be protecting our furniture but would not speak to their people. My wife and I then started to use the sheeting I had purchased to protect what furniture we could before it was loaded on to their lorry.

When our furniture arrived at our new home we inspected it and found many items damaged. We informed Hunts International and completed their insurance company’s claim form. Later I was informed by the insurance company that although liability was accepted the cover Hunts International had taken would only pay around £500 for all the damage although the value of the ruined items was around £6000. I informed Hunts International but they refused to discuss it further.

Only after I started legal action against Hunts International were we made a new offer of compensations.

As I stated in the submission I prepared for the court, we entrusted Hunts International with the safe transportation of our property and they failed us through negligence.

We had Hunts International move our things, we paid extra for a box to move two very expensive bikes, when they turned up it was an old wooden crate and the sides wasn't even attached to the base. To cut a long story short, the one bike turned up damaged along with a tv they decided to put in the same crate. They were a few things damaged and water damage is classed as climate conditions according to insurance.

When it come to insurance, you need original receipt and list everything individually, we had a suit case smash and a bag ripped apart, not covered as not on the list, I haven't got the reciept so even if it was listed I could claim.

Hunts International don't care once you have paid!

We used Hunts as after reading the net they had good reviews:

1) First quote Fine no problem
2) We then told them that we where adding a kitchen and sent photo
3) Got quote no problem
4) Time to pay and they sent us the first quote, I rang and told them it was wrong quote to which the reply was Don't worry there is plenty of room pay the original quote, to which we did.
5) Got told would be two weeks,.....Ended up having to wait Three weeks

6) THE SHOCKER!!! got told that they want another £1000 as there was more than quoted....

When you communicate with someone and "THEY" get it wrong it is not your fault. The Drivers where FANTASTIC 100% and we even asked them if there was room. They said "This is your allocated space you have lots of room" ...

So How do we have to pay more when its not our fault... I am sure Hunts will sort it out..Well fingers crossed..

We contracted Hunts International to move us from Watford UK to Toulouse in France. Every stage of the move was carried out with professionalism, skill and courtesy. The two guys who came to pack up arrived spot on time, got everything packed and loaded in just 5 hours or so. We recommend the full packing service: it was faster and easier than I could have dreamed and well worth the money. As it happened the same guys delivered our belongings in Toulouse and were just as efficient. They did everything right: they were on time, professional, thorough, careful, astonishingly hard-working and at the same time courteous and friendly. It was truly a pleasure to deal with them and they are a credit to Hunts International.

Communication with Hunts was superb throughout, a big thank you to all the staff who were there behind the scenes.

What more can I say? This was a big upheaval for us and Hunts made the removal the easiest part of it all. Thank you!

Do not use this company! We paid four thousand pounds for our possessions to be transported from South London to Sweden and have had nothing but disgusting service since we paid. Damage was done to the property we were leaving, damage was caused to our property before it was even loaded into the van, which was smaller than we had paid for, so we were forced to pay extra for another van to transport the balance of our stuff and then our possessions were delivered two days earlier than we had requested, meaning a substantial amount of extra costs to us! We have contacted Hunt's International to inform then that we intend to claim compensation from them and they have chosen to ignore us. We checked our belongings when we arrived in Sweden (and 2 days after they had been left at the storage facility) and it looks as though they have been thrown into the storage container. We have, at this moment in time, no way of even knowing whether all our belongings have been delivered.

Use at you peril! Unprofessional, untrustworthy, unresaonable and unhelpful! We could have damaged our belongings ourselves and saved the four thousand pounds! Absolutely disgusting!
