Superb! Much faster than expected + excellent communication throughout. Would have liked to know in advance that a deposit was required to confirm the booking, but that might be something to sort out between the provider and Wise Move. Phil + the entire team at MoveStuff have been fantastic to deal with, even taking difficult access at my end with good humour — in brief: a big THANKS — would use again any time!
