Average Moving Company
I booked MuveOne for my relocation to the Netherlands from London. This was my first time with an international moving company, so I am not sure if they are all like this. However, I have moved over 10 times locally in the UK and haven't had this experience before especially with the lack of communication.
At first it seemed great (see pro's) then it was more stress than I needed due to the lack of communication.
Communication occurred primarily through WhatsApp/email until I specifically requested to talk to someone.
I specifically booked the days for collection and pick up. I assumed that because I booked these days way in advance my items would have been delivered on the day I requested.
For context, I requested my items to be placed in storage after collection as I could not be in Netherlands the next day. So, the first collection was on 26/10/25, the loading day from the storage on 30/10/25 and the delivery was expected for 31/10/25. I was told on the 29/10/25 that it would be delivered on the 1st due to it being a "part load option" which wasn't specified at the beginning and would be carried along with other people’s deliveries. I didn't understand why they could just not deliver my stuff in a small van, especially if I requested the delivery date earlier than other clients.
The customs process required sending over documents via email. This I did not mind. However, what I did mind was having to explain to them my situation multiple times. They didn’t take the time to ask thoroughly to let me know exactly what I needed to provide. It was a back and forth through email, until I got frustrated and requested to speak to the logistics manager. I finally did and understood what I needed.
I received an email saying that my documents would be reviewed by a customs agent, but I never got an email confirming that they have been approved or when the documents would have been processed.
Only until I received a message that the delivery was delayed for a second time, as one of their client’s delivery that was with mine, had their documents rejected by customs. That is when I got the confirmation that my documents were okay. Having received the email prior stating that I will be emailed soon with the outcome about customs approval - then not actually being emailed until last minute, is frustrating.
On that same day they arranged my things to be moved and delivered with a different driver. He arrived the morning of the following day (02/11).
In total, the delivery was delayed by 3 days.
Emails tended to say “soon”. However, something at the bottom stating a timeframe or saying, “you will be emailed within 24 hours with an update”, even if the update is that things are still in progress would have given me the reassurance that is everything is okay.
I asked 2 days in a row "can you confirm the pickup time, so everything is prepared for you". After sending a second message, I was told that the pickup would be between 3 and 4 pm. On the pickup day, the delivery driver contacted me stating they wanted to come around 11am. I refused as my day was already planned, at the end he came around 4:30pm.
I understand that both delivery drivers for pick up and collection were contracted by MuveOne. So, to clarify I have no issue with them. In fact, the driver at the pickup was very helpful.
Pro's:
> low Price;
> all my belongings were delivered - none were missing;
> after prompting several times - my storage was sorted.
Con's:
> delayed three days;
> one of the boxes was damaged, thankfully nothing inside was damaged;
> there was a lack of communication - While planning for it, I wrote a message on Wednesday, and this was not answered until I prompted them the following week;
> no regular updates with a timeframe - emails/text messages stating "soon". What does SOON mean!? A timeframe with an update even if there are none i.e. "it is still in progress" would reassure the customer.
To conclude it was an upsetting process, and I wouldn’t recommend them if you value communication and organization.
