From start to finish everyone at Charles Woods made the stressful moving process so much easier! The guys were reliable, experienced, friendly and efficient, and we felt that we (and all our belongings) were in very safe hands. When we felt overwhelmed they were amazing at guiding us through the move, and taking charge while still being very respectful. They took time to double check where we wanted everything, and worked like troopers! They went above and beyond what we expected. The office staff were also super friendly and helpful, being endlessly flexible when the dates kept changing. They

Very unprofessional service and at this point wouldn't recommend to anyone. Items damaged, items not assembled properly (left screws and etc. shoved in drawers they didn't want to put on), writing on a wardrobe with black permanent marker for reassembly, left their breakfast rubbish on the floor, used our personal items like tools and stepladders to do their job. One member of staff didn't seem like they wanted to do anything and when did was very rough with items. Very stressful and frustrating and so far in regards to getting resolved not getting anywhere serious...

The team who did the move were great. However, they had a mishap that resulted in damage to a piece of furniture. They apologized and told us to get in touch with their boss. The location of the damage made meant that it was not visible, so with all the busyness of a move we never got around to contacting the office. If I had received an email apology, I would have rated them 4*.

Excellent Service relating to our move from Thame Oxfordshire to Devizes in Wiltshire. Great service from the office team from estimate to completion. The team could not be more helpful, making what would normally be a stressful part of the process when moving. Carried out very efficiently without any stress. We have a lot of respect for the guys who worked very hard to complete the move, Well packed, even the garden, garage and shed items. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to move.

Absolutely abysmal customer service. I had it confirmed by two eye-witnesses that they packed a certain number of items which were not among the belongings returned to me after a month in storage. No help in locating these whatsoever is forthcoming from them after weeks of back-and-forth emails. The damage I incurred from this must be around 250.
