Damage to property or belongings during loading, transit, or unloading.

Accuracy and clarity of quotations, pricing, or invoicing.

Any other reasonable concern arising from the delivery of our man and van or removal services.

Raising a Complaint Informally

If you are unhappy with any aspect of our service, we encourage you to raise it informally as soon as possible. In many cases, issues can be resolved quickly on the day of the move or shortly afterwards.

You can raise an informal concern by speaking directly to the team member on site, or by contacting our office using your usual method of communication with us. When you do so, please provide:

Your full name.

The date of your move and the collection and delivery addresses.

A clear description of what went wrong and when it occurred.

Any supporting information such as photographs of damage or copies of written communication.

We will aim to acknowledge informal concerns promptly and give you an initial response or resolution wherever possible.

Making a Formal Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your informal complaint, or if you prefer to raise a formal complaint from the outset, you may do so in writing. Clearly state that you are making a complaint and include:

Your full name and the address where the service was carried out.

The date of the service and any reference numbers provided to you.

A detailed explanation of the issues you experienced, including times, locations, and people involved.

Details of any loss or damage, including photographs and estimates for repair or replacement where applicable.

What outcome or resolution you are seeking, if you have a specific request.

We recommend submitting a formal complaint within a reasonable time of the issue arising, particularly in cases involving damage to belongings, so that we can investigate effectively.

How We Handle Your Complaint

Upon receiving your formal complaint, we will follow these steps:

Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and confirm that it is being investigated.

Investigation: We will review the details of your booking, speak to any team members involved, examine any photographs or evidence provided, and consider relevant policies and records such as schedules or job sheets.

Clarification: If we need further information to understand your complaint, we may contact you to request additional details.

Outcome: Once our investigation is complete, we will write to you explaining our findings, any action we propose to take, and the reasons for our decision.

We aim to provide a full written response within a reasonable timeframe. If, for any reason, we need longer to investigate, we will let you know and keep you updated on progress.

Possible Resolutions

Depending on the nature and outcome of our investigation, possible resolutions may include:

An explanation and, where appropriate, an apology.

Practical steps to put things right where reasonably possible.

A gesture of goodwill, where appropriate and at our discretion.

Information on any changes we will make to our processes, training, or service delivery to reduce the chance of similar issues occurring again.

Where a complaint involves alleged damage or loss, we may request supporting documents or evidence before agreeing any remedy. Any settlement will be made in line with our terms and conditions and applicable law.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may ask for it to be reviewed. In your request for review, explain why you are unhappy with the response and provide any additional information you believe is relevant.

Your complaint will then be reconsidered, where possible by someone who was not involved in the original investigation. We will provide a final written response explaining the outcome of this review.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Service

Every complaint provides us with valuable feedback. Man With a Van Uxbridge uses information from complaints to identify trends, improve staff training, refine our booking and scheduling systems, and enhance how we protect customers belongings and properties during moves throughout our service area.

We continually review this procedure to ensure it remains clear, fair, and effective for our customers.

This Complaints Procedure is reviewed periodically to reflect any changes in our services, operational practices, or legal requirements. The latest version will be made available to customers on request and may be provided as part of pre-contract information or booking confirmations.

By setting out a clear, step by step approach to handling complaints, we aim to give all customers of Man With a Van Uxbridge confidence that their concerns will be heard and addressed in a professional and respectful manner.
