Cambridge - A Heavy Furniture Move

Cambridge - A Heavy Furniture Move

Thursday 15th April, 2021


Find my Man and Van Cambridge sent us another Cambridge based task today,

"A mere book case!" Says the customer.

The CB1 address is a large house with an endless gravel drive. We crunch down the driveway and are met by the customer. The large doors are opened for us to be confronted with a huge wooden bookcase. The bookcase must have been lined with lead, because in all my years of removals I have never lifted an item of furniture that weighed so much.

"Are the good men from Man and Van Cambridge finding my bookcase to be heavy?" asks the customer.

"It's a fine example sir, we've got it under control," comes the reply.

We then had a description of the type of wood said bookcase was constructed of, it transpired it was in fact one - if not the -heaviest types of wood in the world.

Firstly the website is very easy to navigate. After filling in a few simple questions about you move, and youve paid your deposit,you are booked in to the system. You are given an email and text with your booking details to check over. Though you won't be matched up with your actual movers until 48 hours before your move, the communication is excellent with details of exactly what you need to do. Once you have been assigned your movers, you are advised to contact them at least 24 hours to confirm the booking. By this point you will have been asked to fill in an estimate through the website of what exactly needs moving. On the big day, James and Rob turned up right when they were supposed to and moved me in with record timing. All in all it was a great experience that helped relieve some of the stress of moving.

Ryan and the two guys with him were great. They were really good with my elderly relative who was a bit nervous about moving his items into storage, taking time to chat with him. They were helpful and friendly with lots of good humour. Would definitely use them again.

Same-day booking for moving items from a trade show, easy to confirm. Good communication from the team ahead of the move, very smooth experience.

The website was super easy and clear to use, and I was matched with a man with a van very quickly. Communication between people at find my man and van and also with the driver himself was seamless :) will be using again!
