Efficient, friendly service. Made very short work of packing up my flat and moving everything into my new home. Option of bed disassembly and reassembly was really appreciated. All items arrived safely with no damage. Would recommend.

Company was desperate to get the job and matched another quote. Unfortunately Mike under resourced the move and provided only 2 men to move us from a large 5 bedroom property. Majority of our boxes were dumped downstairs at one end of the property and we have had to move them ourselves. We complained but we're told things weren't clearly labelled which we dispute. There's a whole list of complaints, too many to detail here. Anyway we've reluctantly paid them but cannot recommend this company.

The trader replied (on 21/10/2017)
All businesses expect criticism from time-to-time (but I am pleased to say this is the first negative review we have received in 10 years of trading) but although this hurts there is no point becoming defensive so it’s the Van Man way to take this in a constructive manner, and I can assure all readers we have already put systems in place to ensure this never happens again. There’s clearly more to this than has been written here and we have communicated fully with the customer prior to this review being left. I would like to reiterate that I ended my last email with the offer of discussing these matters further should they wish to and that offer remains open. We do have a full complaints procedure in place and we could have used the Which? Trusted Traders independent ombudsman scheme to cast an unbiased eye over all these matters (which we still can do). I would also like to point out we are a small business serving the local community which employs local, professional and hard-working staff who are in turn supporting their families. So I hope this one-off negative feedback is not too damaging to our true superb reputation. Please do read all of our other feedback! Anyway we promise to make a £5 donation to charity for each review received and we never stipulated that these had to be good reviews so we will happily make a contribution for this entry (every cloud has a silver lining!)

Van Man Removals Exeter helped me move from Budleigh to Exeter. I was extremely impressed with the service – very organised, efficient and professional, from beginning to end. It was by far and away the BEST service I have ever had. On the day Gary and Leon were polite, considerate, friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble!! It made the whole move much less stressful and I have never come across such helpful and hardworking and lovely removal men!

I needed to move a piano from my deceased parents' house in Taunton to my daughter's house in Bristol. I arranged to move the piano by email. Mike was helpful and always responded promptly which made this an easy process. On move day the team turned up when they said they would. They efficiently moved the piano and delivered it safely later that day. They were well-equipped, knew what they were doing and were friendly and polite.

The team from Van Man Exeter were fantastic. They arrived fully prepared for the job with more than enough staff and vans to make our move a smooth ride. They provided a personalised service to us and were exceptionally friendly, making the stress of a house move melt away. I would definitely recommend Van Man Exeter to family and friends wholeheartedly.

A real pleasure to deal with - very easy from survey to the final box. Mike and the team were very courteous and helpful and did a fantastic job of loading the van and getting everything out at the other end. Flexible on dates too which was a real help.

Darren and Luke from Van Man Exeter were brilliant. Professional and patient, especially considering the very narrow street I lived down! We also had far more things to move than we estimated, but they were very polite and quick to sort it all out. Thanks so much!
