Poor customer care, a moving bacame a nightmare!
I received the offer by call and email last 8th of November for a moving on the 16th of November.
I confirmed the engagement on the 13th when I received a confirm for the new flat keys.
I received a confirmation by email and text in the same day, for this reason I have informed all the other companies that I made my choice.
Today at 9am I was downstairs keeping a space free in the street for the van (as requested) and then I called at 9:03 to have an update. The man that answered my call told me that they had an issue with the previous job and asked me to wait until 10-10.30.
At 10:44 i texted, but nobody replied my message.
The second call was at 11:05 and he told me to wait another hour.
I called again at 12:25 and he told me that he was at Elephant and Castle, very far to my place, but assured me to arrive at 1 pm.
When I called for the 4th time at 13:19 he told me that he was in another job, but driver and another colleague were coming in 1 hour maximum. He also told me that he could join later and giving me a discount. But the offer was for 3 people because the job to do was massive.
I was exhausted, waiting for more than 4 hours, with a big job to do. Packing around 30 boxes, disassemble bed and wardrobe, move everything downstairs (10 floors) and load the van. Move to more than 10 miles and then put everything in the new flat and assemble bed and wardrobe starting at 2pm was absolutely impossible!
I wasted a morning, I will take 1 day off on Monday (I’m self employed and I will not be paid fornmy day off) pay another company (after my last call I engaged another company for £650, they’re making me a big favour with a short notice).
I’m alone, I haven’t any help from friends and family. I should move the final cleaning planned for Monday.
I had a very bad day, a vary bad and poor customer experience.
I’m the customer, I should receive calls for update, not calling for update.
I received only one call at 14:57 offering me to do the job for free, but I’m professional, I can’t cancel the new engagement I did.
This is absolutely unprofessional, and a very poor service.
Who will pay for my time, expensive moving on Monday and my day off? This job was confirmed and planned from Wednesday, in case I should receive a call on Friday evening.
I’m also adding in CC Removal Index in order to give them a feedback about this absolutely poor customer care and service.
