Wish I could provide a similar 5 star review as the others but our experience of this company was the polar opposite! In fact if I was able to award no stars I would! Our initial dealings with the company were good i.e. the move survey and quotation appeared professional and they were very competitive on their pricing. However, on the day of the move we found the staff disinterested and showing a total lack of respect for our possessions.
Having loaded our possessions with little to no care, stacking heavy items upon fragile items, on arrival at our new address they literally threw boxes from

Used Robinsons for a long distance move 11th September 2020 and can only say that they were excellent! The 2 chaps could not have been more helpful. Also prior to the move we had to phone the office on a number of occasions and they were always extremely helpful and accommodating, unfortunately I believe that the Manchester depot is no longer which is a real shame! However, would definately use them again

Wow what a fantastic firm and operatives. We couldn't have wished for a better move. Thanks to everyone concerned, nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended and a pleasure to deal with.
