Brilliant!
November 3, 2021

Thomas and colleague did an absolutely fantastic job! We're elderly and needed a l. Arge, heavy 3 piece suite moving to our garage for collection at a later date. They were friendly, fast and polite! Would highly recommend this company. Thank you!

Van and drivers turned up on time. Had a different job list to the one I had updated online. Was charged £280 extra instead of £60 for a few extra items! Customer services - I had to contact on four occasions before being told there would be no refund as it was my fault I hadn't clarified the changes! No insight into my perspective, their faulty website or the stress and out of proportion extra charge. Very disappointing. I never leave bad reviews - but this feels such a rip off!

Go with anyone else
July 10, 2019

Booked a time slot which they arrived 4 hours late for, rushed the job, communication was poor, our drivers couldn't speak English and so communication was extremely difficult, left a car full of items to move ourselves. And we missed our deadline to hand our keys into our old landlord. Absolutely horrendous support afterwards.

Strapping our belongings to a dead horse and dragging it along the road with two broken arms would have been a far easier experience.

Horrendous AVOID
December 2, 2020

Horrendous service, damaged furniture

Horrendous service! Please don't use this company. We had our bed, arm chair and dining table damaged. My entire jewellery box drop all over the drive. We had to cut up our throws to use as floor coverings as they wouldn't take shoes off or wear boot covers. We paid for dismantling but they turned up with no tools. I went back and forth with anyvan to seek compensation and ended up with nothing. Even if you have before photos they don't accept them as they need to be date stamped. Im amazed to see so many good reviews. We must have been the unlucky ones. I can accept that anyvan are technically the middle man but they took no responsibility to assist with rectifying the damage and loss that we suffered.

Avoid
October 25, 2018

Twice I've used Anyvan recently and both times the experience has been unacceptable. My first delivery didn't arrive until 12.40am and the one I'm currently waiting for has been changed three times. Don't expect any type of discount from Anyvan if you are messed around because they won't do a thing. No point choosing a particular day as the drivers do what suits them not the agreed booking you pay for.

Piano move
March 1, 2018

Excellent and efficient and reaasonably priced service. Easy to book on line, paid small additional amount to guarantee afternoon delivery which was most helpful. Two strong men arrived, had the piano out of one property and delivered to the other swiftly, safely and with no fuss. Would certainly use again.

Useless
July 2, 2018

Never used these people before, and was let down with my first booking. NO contact whatsoever, after they cancelled my booking - although they had both contact numbers for the collection and delivery address. Will never use them again. A bad attitude!

They saved the day.
April 27, 2022

Having been let down by a booked van hire we rang Any Van fearing a high price quote. We were given a fair price and a five hour window for arrival. The van arrived in 2 hours and the removals men were polite careful and friendly. We were moved before our deadline and I can only say the service we received was fantastic. Thank you so much.

Completely untrustworthy company. Booking made online and while I indicated that there is a lift at the delivery location they called me the day before to tell me there will be an additional cost involved because: the carrier would have to "lift" the item to put them in the lift. How ridiculous is that!?! And for a small fridge? This is a joke. Do not book online, call if you don't have another option and ask for ALL the costs involved. Who knows maybe if the driver sweats too much you will need to pay for a water bottle too.
And to top everything up on the phone the service lady was trying to convince me that I was wrong and stupid for not understanding properly the costs. I have an email that says exactly what the service includes by the way.

Great service
November 6, 2021

Really quick and efficient. Great customer service. When the original driver couldn't get here on time they immediately got me a new one who arrived spot on time. Lovely man who was so respectful and helpful. I will definitely use this company again.
Special thanks to Ion the driver. He was fantastic.

I paid £3,200 in advance for a complete house removal. I frequently updated Anyvan prior to the move with additional items for which extras were added to the quote. On the day the vans provided were hopelessly too small. Took eight hours to load the first van! That was impounded by the police for being overloaded and my belongings were not delivered until SIX days after collection! Some of my belongings had to be moved by my family to their homes because of the necessity of clearing the property for occupation of the new owners on the follwing day. A significant number of items were damaged, some beyond repair, and others have completely disappeared. Avoid this total shower like the plague!

Scratched furniture
February 27, 2020

Scratches on my furniture after dragging not lifting the top section of my display cabinet. The two removal men were told 3 times to lift the top but this was totally ignored. I informed the company before the furniture was moved to the destination point. I thought at the time that something would be done - not likely. I have sent photos of the damage and basically it's my word against the transport provider NOT Anyvan. Although the men said they couldn't see any damage until the top was removed, that was because they weren't there. The top sits back from the base so there is a 2 inch gap (where some of the scratches has been caused). Don't think that you are dealing with Anyvan, they have just made themselves a middle man! I even provided a duvet to protect my furniture whilst it was in transit. Avoid this shambles of a company like the plague if you value your property!

Van was on time. Driver and 2nd man extremely nice and helpful. Used to move large household items to new address. Full truck with lift and plenty of blankets to protect furniture. Put all furniture into the rooms both upstairs and down. Plenty of texts from anyvan prior to move date to keep me informed. Overall a very good service and I would recommend highly. Satisfied customer

They offer a automated online portal to book your delivery and then when you cancel with their very simple cancellation button they keep your money with no warning this is just after booking the delivery by about 30mins. Seriously this is daylight robbery and consumer fraud!

They should be closed down no British company that deals on this scale with delivery should be able to conduct itself with such a low level of customer care these guys are perfect suited scumbags. Avoid Avoid Avoid!

I honestly cannot praise these guys enough. They went above and beyond what I expected.

They didn't give in even when the bed was virtually impossible to take apart.

We had a lot of heavy items to move and they worked relentlessly for hours even though they had been doing moves since 5am.

How they could be so positive and friendly with everything they had to do is beyond me.

Highly recommend!

Poor service and not recommended, I paid an additional fee for a vehicle to be collected, however they failed to collect my vehicle not one but three days late and then hide behind 'unforeseen circumstances' in there terms and conditions to wriggle out of reimbursing the fee that I should have been charged for collection on the day it was collected.

Find someone else to collect what you need!

Difficult job
November 15, 2021

I needed a Welsh dresser collected and delivered to me. I was given incorrect dimensions as it was much larger also I wasn't informed that it had to be dismantled! A further problem was it had to be collected that afternoon. Anyvan were able to rearrange delivery, dismantle and deliver all within a 4 hour time frame. Both driver and assistant then had to take the item through the back of my house and into the garage, which wasn't easy. So all I can say is job well done.

Had to cancel a job late and phoned to ask if I could change the booking. No-one picked up my message so the driver turned up. I expected to lose my payment. Next thing, I got multiple calls (several one directly after another). When I could pick up, I was optimistically hoping they were trying to rebook, but no: high pressure tactics to make me pay MORE due to the cancellation. I will be reporting them.

I was delighted to find a service like anyvan when moving house. It took all of the work and stress out of finding a suitable removals firm in my area and made the process simple and fast. Vendors contacted me with estimates based on the information i provided and gave me a good range of services to choose frim. Would highly recommend using this for single items or full house removals.

I opted for Anyvan as they could guarantee my furniture would be delivered the next day before visitors arrived. I did not realise but I was charged for opting for a morning delivery.
Half an hour before the mid day cut off, I received a call to say they couldn t keep you the schedule and asked if I wanted to cancel my booking or should they try to get a van for a before 4 pm delivery.
They had taken my booking despite not having the facility to guarantee it. As it was my furniture arrived in an unmarked van. Anyvan had farmed the work out to a small independent who got to the furniture shop ten minutes before it closed.
An expensive service that was not fulfilled. Never again.
