What an awful experience

<p>We hired the service from the Western Cape to Gauteng.</p> <p>1. They let us choose the pickup date, so we agreed to take the service. After we pay the deposit they call to suggest a different moving date and we were unable to accomodate this. I mean we picked them specifically because they were able to accomodate our moving day, fine they pick up on the day we chose.</p> <p>2. Collection of goods goes smoothly, it was on a Thursday, we asked the collector about drop off and he said probably on Sunday but it might be Monday the latest</p> <p>3. We call them on Saturday to confirm drop off time in Gauteng. The guy tells us that it will only be the following weekend. An entire week later. When we ask about the initial agreeement he tells us that because we refused to change pickup date, our furniture missed the truck. Why did he not say this at the time of the call, the time he called to propose the change. So now at the very last minute, we find out we would be with no furniture for an entire week. (This means making altenative sleeping arrangements and incurring costs that we did not anticipate)</p> <p>4. We wait the week out and finally come Saturday (Delivery Day). Again we call them to confirm the time and the guy says afternoon. They got to the estate at 11pm. Obviously no estate will let them in at that time as it was a big truck. So after a long day of waitng, no furniture still.</p> <p>5. Bright and early on Sunday Morning they arrive, Furniture covered in layers and layers of dust.</p> <p>6. This for me is still the biggest part of our bad experience. The delivery guys looked like they had to sleep in the truck. The staff is not looked after. One guy did not even have shoes. How will they care for my things, if they are not taken care of. They were tired and everything was a drag.</p> <p>7. On the bright side we got all our things, </p> <p> </p>

Hi there

We are very sorry to hear that this how you feel about our service. We are very serious about what we do and that is shown by a very high compliments here on hellopeter as well as on our facebook review page

After all the communication we had you never mentioned anything about not being satisfied by our services. We kept you abreast of all the developments regarding the delivery of your furniture.

Please send invoices of the costs you incurred for alternative sleeping arrangements and we will settle the amount

Had you gone for a dedicated truck your goods you would have been delivered the next day. You went for a shared load and delivery on a shared load is within 7 working days from date of collection. The only reason we tried to collect a day earlier was to try and deliver your goods earlier as we had a truck leaving for Gauteng a day before your collection date.

All your goods was bubble wrapped and then blanket wrapped so to claim that the goods had dust would a shcoking claim .

Just for your own information our guys are among the best paid in the industry and their welfare is of utmost importance to us. Leopard Movers looks after its employees.

Regards

Charles Mandaz

Managing Director
