My Review of AnyVan - AVOID

4 replies

The drivers are experienced thieves - AVOID! Using this company remains the worst decision l ever made. I rated the company one because there is no option to rate it zero. The drivers broke into my cabinet and STOLE ALL my jewelleries and every single thing in each drawer! They broke my furnitures - bed, cloth airer, under bed storage, my dining chairs. They left holes in most of my furnitures. Most boxes, which were individually and carefully sealed, had the tapes cut open - they were clearly looking for more items to steal.

The most painful part was my cabinet they broke into and they basically emptied all my jewelleries and every content inside each drawer. The customer service team were not helpful either. They made me to waste more of my time to provide pictures and more information - I did! Only for them to email me they were unable to help because l did not put in the complain earlier I reached out to the customer service team when l noticed ALL the contents of my cabinet drawer had gone. It was a long distance move to a different town due to domestic violence.

I needed to get away with my son - so we can live and escape all the abuse we were experiencing and start all over in new a new town where I knew no one. The cabinet in question contained all my irreplaceable jewelleries which l only wear when l am going out. As l was in a completely new and different town, l had earlier given up work before the move and l was in a new town where l knew no one and was then applying for new jobs from home - ONLINE. So l had no need to open the cabinet and only opened it like 3 weeks after my move to discover every single drawer empty! I have never recovered from the shock The whole experience left me broken.

Needless to say l will never recommend this company. While it’s ok not to process normal complaints about broken items because it was not reported within 3 days, it’s not ok to push aside a complain regarding theft of items from drivers who l paid to MOVE my items and not STEAL from me. Very terrible experience

You should report to both police and trading standards. Sorry this happened to you

We sold something recently and the buyer arranged for AnyVan to collect it.

We had three calls from the driver asking where we were - he didn't appear to have the address. We spoke to him on the phone and also texted our postcode, detailed directions and whatthreewords.

5 minutes later we got a notification to say that the item had been collected. It hadn't.

Our buyer then rearranged collection for the following day. We had a message to say he was 5 minutes away. He then called for directions and was nowhere near our house. Eventually arrived and collected the item.

AnyVan are now trying to charge the buyer twice for 2 collections - luckily we had screenshots of all the calls and messages which we sent them. Hope he got it sorted. Bastards.

Sorry about your experience. It’s amazing these rogues are allowed to continue trading. My experience with AnyVan left me broken and shocked. How do you pay to have your items securely moved only for them to steal from you while maintaining a clean face? The drivers looked like they cannot hurt a fly but were thieves disguised as drivers. Most of my items are missing and unaccounted for - clearly stolen by AnyVan drivers. Apart from stealing my items, they left most of my items behind because their van got full. I squeezed in what I can into my car and sadly had to leave the rest behind.

Thank you. The police are one of the reasons I decided to move home instead. They declined to assist investigate the issues l was dealing with, with a crazy ex. I decided it was better to move to a different town and start all over. Then “AnyVan” happened to me
