A clear description of what went wrong.

If you raise a complaint verbally, we may ask you to confirm the details in writing so that we can ensure we have understood your concerns correctly.
Timescales for Making a Complaint
We ask that you raise any complaint as soon as reasonably possible after the issue occurs. This helps us investigate while details are still fresh and any evidence is more easily available. For concerns about damage to items or property, please notify us as soon as you become aware of the issue.
How We Handle Your Complaint
Once we receive your complaint, we will follow these steps:
1. Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge your complaint as soon as reasonably practicable. In our acknowledgement, we will outline the next steps and, where possible, provide an estimated timescale for a full response.
2. Investigation: A member of our team will review the details of your complaint. This may include checking booking records, driver logs, photographs, messages, and speaking with staff involved in your move or delivery.
3. Clarification: If we need more information, we may contact you to discuss your concerns in more detail. This helps us ensure that our understanding of the issue matches your own.
4. Response: After our investigation, we will provide you with a written or verbal response explaining our findings, any conclusions we have reached, and any steps we propose to resolve the matter.
Response Times
We aim to resolve most complaints as quickly as possible. The time required may vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the availability of information and staff. If we are unable to provide a full response within a reasonable period, we will update you on progress and let you know when you can expect a final outcome.

After investigating your complaint, we may offer one or more of the following outcomes, where appropriate:
An explanation of what went wrong and why.
An apology for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction experienced.
Corrective action, such as revisiting the property or adjusting future bookings.

Guidance on how to prevent similar issues in future moves.
Any remedy will depend on the specific circumstances and evidence available. Our aim is always to reach a fair and reasonable resolution.
Escalation of Your Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may request that it is reviewed by a more senior member of our team. When doing so, please explain why you are unhappy with the initial response and highlight any points you feel have not been fully addressed.
