Michael is prompt / polite and provides very detailed responses to all your questions..........until the money is transferred to his account - after that you are in the "deep blue sea" We moved from the US to London,UK. Our sea shipment was collected on March 31st 2022 and we received it in London on July 18th 2022. Here are the issues with the shipment 1) On the day of pick up - we did not get any confirmation of the time of pick up. We kept calling all morning and were told that they CANNOT provide an estimate as the team is out on another pick up. Pick up team came around 3pm in the afternoon. Note that we were told at the time of booking that we will receive a call one day prior to pick up confirming the time of pick up 2) the pick up crew looked extremely overworked, and tired. They got done by around 10.30 in the night (!). My sympathies with the team but this was indeed extremely poor management on behalf of the company. We were held up for the entire day, had to leave the apt in the middle of the night with a baby. To make matters worse, the head of the pick up team entered in a verbal argument with my husband as my husband wanted to cross check the bill (which was about twice the initial estimate). 3) Michael had advised us that we can cross check the cubic feet / cft after the packing is done. We had cross confirmed that with the pick up crew before they started packing. After the packing was done they loaded everything in a jiffy. After unpacking in London we realised that they had packed entire chairs in boxes (rather than disassembling it - thereby increasing the cubic feet). Of course we could not cross check the cubic feet once it was loaded in the truck - we were told that it is not allowed as their insurance does not cover if there is any harm to my husband if he gets on the truck (!) - maybe true, but a convenient excuse in my view. 4) Once the goods were collected, we had to follow up for everything, status of shipment, estimated / expected delivery dates (which were changed multiple times). Note that once goods are collected then Mr Michael is almost done with you - you then have to follow up with 2/3 different companies who are managing the clearing and delivery. 5) And of course the goods arrived DAMAGED - lamp glasses broken, some glass artefacts broken, corners of side tables and dressers damaged. Horrendous service and a total no-go! unless you like bad service, being charged twice of estimate, delayed shipment and damaged goods! p.s. This review took some time because we wanted to provide Michael the review he deserved. More so, we chose Michael simply because of good reviews and ratings on Trustpilot. We wanted to ensure that "future customers" can make a more informed decision!
