Loading for the UK

in Facebook Posts, General

This post is from 2014, when the company was a lot smaller and we only had 2 vans. We still take the same care over loading though!

I hope you like this behind the scenes time lapse video I took of the process of loading a van for a UK trip this month.

 

The video shows how a lot of care is taken over loading, to make sure the vehicle is loaded as tight as possible, with everything heavy and robust lower down, and very fragile items placed on top. Also the judicious use of removal blankets to make sure nothing touches anything else and all the furniture stays pristine.

Taking time over packing helps to keep everything protected from moving and being damaged by rubbing, and also enables full use of the space available, which is important on such long trips.

I didn’t have to load the trailer as well for this trip, as I’m delivering a brand new Horse Box to Devon instead, which was manufactured right here in Almeria.

“My move from Spain to the Uk was very rushed. I had quickly sorted the items I wanted to move but I had thought I would be back in Spain in May to pack everything and organise the transport properly. Obviously that was not happening. The items that needed to be repacked were sorted for me. Everything was collected and transported to Uk. I received everything in immaculate condition. I was given a time of arrival and it was 5 mins difference. A fabulous service and I heartily recommend this company. Mike and Paul are very professional and very trustworthy”

Jo Chambers, 6th May 2020

Totally trustworthy, it was a big decision to decide who to use but they made the move so much easier.”

Everything arrived to our house in Huercal Overa in mint condition and the items were offloaded and placed where I wanted. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Mick even stored my items until I was ready for delivery just before Christmas. Everything was handled with the utmost care. Very professional service but with a personal touch. Very honest , hardworking and caring company.”
