I recently moved from the West Coast Western Cape to the Overberg. The sales rep was great and initially the pack-up -most of which I had done- went well. I then was told Many pot pants could not be accommodated. The quote was MORE than other other companies but I was told it was a VERY professional team. NOT AT ALL !!!! The delivery was chaotic with bags and boxes just dumped. Things were missing - a SOLID Kiaat table table top broken in half, ART canvasses damaged, and still garden things left at old premises. Furniture was scratched and stuffed into a van NOT big enough for the move.
The crew were tired and not very interested in helping unpack certain items. NOT what I expected at all and NO apology from Management in Cape Town. SHODDY and Certainly not worth the premium. Beware of Pickfords is my advice. Most furniture companies in SA seem to be the same with staff who are not trained or probably not paid enough to care.

Agent who was assigned to our move - pathetic. Had to ask for Quotes.
2nd hand boxes used.
Paid for packing and unpacking - unpacking didn’t happen.
Office personnel unprofessional, not helpful and have no idea what is happening after a Quote is given.
Items were broken, a inside door damaged. 2weeks after our move - still no contact from anyone. The list go on an on.
I will never recommend them neither use them again.
It was the mist stressful move we had.
NEVER AGAIN

Pretty good, just a little bit of miscommunication between the team and their head office. We have yet to have things arrive in the US so cant comment about that.

My previous experience was so good I again used them for my move to plettenburg bay and again was not disappointed. [name removed by Sirelo] from Cape Town assisted with getting the paperwork done [name removed by Sirelo] also based in Cape Town was in constant contact with the actual move and with it raining at the time, calmed me down and true to his promise the move went smoothly and professionaly. The movers were polite efficient and very helpful, I would recommend Pickfords to anyone on the move. May they grow from strength to strength. Lynn Van Leeve
