The guys at Headington Carriers were the highlight of the most stressful move. They were professional, meticulous, speedy and very friendly. Even when our completion got later and later and less and less likely, they never abandoned us, they just called on more of the team to come and lend a hand. We cannot thank them enough, especially Alan, Luke and Glen.

After moving us out of our house, Headington Carriers 'lost' 20% of our goods being stored in their storage warehouse (this meant we moved house without all our kitchen items, our children's desks, a sofa and other essential items). We had to wait two weeks before they even acknowledged the loss and three more weeks before they looked for it and another three till it was delivered to us. When it was finally found we received no apology, just excuses. We were very disappointed with the attitude of management at Headington Carriers and would not recommend them.

We are very happy with the move you did for us!
Alan and crew were a cheerful bunch, and were very good with the many boxes and furniture they moved for us. Nothing was broken, and the move was done very smoothly.Nothing was too much trouble and even the dog was happy! Thanks again, and I will not hesitate to recommend their services to friends and to colleagues.
