Never ever use this company!
I booked for a 10am start because i have a sick elderly disabled person living with me.The driver phoned at 8.30 am which woke her up, they wanted to start then. This was the start of a terrible day.

The 2 delivery guys told us it was Ramadan and that they were fasting which accounts for the fact that they were weak and tired. This did have an impact on their performance throughout the day.

The two removal men had the worst Body Odour i have ever smelt in my life. I had to wear 2 Covid masks but i could still smell it and the odour lingered in each room they went in the whole day.

They couldn't understand even basic words/instructions in the English language. I took it slow and tried to explain but they just had a glazed look in their eyes and just kept saying 'Yes Boss'.

For example there were 3 TV sets over 40' which were on the booking form. I had omitted a 4th TV by mistake. As we had only paid for 3 (over 40') i told them to leave the small one and take the big one but they left the largest and heaviest 66'.

They then called and offered to take it for £37 cash, that's a nice little fiddle on the side...

Considering 2 garden tables were paid for on the order i actually only ended up needing 1 there could have been some kind of compromise here.
They had No packing materials WHATSOEVER!

They have damaged furniture and scraped newly applied wallpaper, also chipped paint. I do have photographic evidence of this. If they had understood and followed my instructions this wouldn't have happened. I even told them to take the empty drawers out of a chest so it would not catch the wallpaper but they just went ahead when i was in another room.

In both houses they had used the bathrooms without asking any permission and urinated all over the seat and floor area. I believe because of their attitude the they had done this on purpose.

I genuinely think this was the first house move they had ever done. One of them actually pointed to a normal coffee table and asked me what it was.

My electric bed was brought downstairs without the 2 bases being separated, i told them it was very heavy on the order form and all they did was complain and because they didn't carry the base parts separately or let me know when the bed was going as requested several times they have trapped cables that operate the motor as well as other damage to it and now it is inoperable!
There were some pieces of the bed mechanism which came off during the rough man-handling of the frame. I have no idea where the parts belong.

This bed alone cost well over £1000 and was used every night by a disabled person. NOT NOW! Thanks a lot!

They knew the sizes of furniture when the order asked for them but arrived in a van that was obviously too small, this meant they had to do a second trip, they disappeared for 5 hours and finally finished at 11.30pm.

There were no calls or texts offering an explanation for their absence at all. It was only when we went on the 'chat' and had messaged a customer service representative that they called after she said she would contact them. We thought they had run off with our medications and goods so it was extremely worrying.

I chose this company because of the glowing reviews from other customers on the internet.

I felt really stressed out disappointed with their general unwillingness to do their job correctly.
I wish i could give zero stars. I'm totally dissatisfied with their service.

Would i recommend these 2 cowboys or this company? NEVER

Update:
I have now provided photographic evidence of most of the damage caused to Anyvan.com.
Yesterday I received an offer from them for the paltry and insulting sum of £140 for the damage caused to my home and furniture!

£140 won't even cover the cost of a technician to review the damage to the motorised bed mechanism.
Because of their workers lack of care, training and expertise in the job, a registered Disabled man can no longer benefit from the use of an electric mechanical bed! The bed is completely not usable or fit for purpose.
There has been no offer to repair or replace the bed. It's disgusting customer service from Anyvan.com

Tomorrow I am seeking professional advice and direction from my legal representative. I am not accepting £140 compensation.
I will seek a true and fair amount to cover the irresponsible damage caused by Anyvan's employees.

This is a true and factual statement about our experience using any van.com
