Several expensive items of furniture arrived damaged & my tall fridge freezer has a leg missing. They were the cheapest though. Maybe they just had a bad day? Would I recommend this company? - probably not :(

Positive:Professionalism
I've been storing items with Dollimores for over 5 years now. All the team are so friendly and professional, from the office staff to the guys working in the yard and on the lorry's. Nothing is too much trouble for them. A very well run family business, putting the customer first.
