REVIEW: Discover How 1st Choice Removals Take the Stress Away from Moving Home

With the costs of moving home being higher than ever, it's tempting to just hire a van and do it yourself, but with all the time and effort involved in that (plus the disruption it would cause to our two young children), the thought of it alone was making me anxious so I made a few inquiries with local removals companies.

The reason we chose 1st Choice Removals was that they are local and seemed to genuinely care not only about protecting our belongings but how to make the process as easy and stress-free for us as they could.

What set them apart is their attention to detail and commitment to the safety of our belongings. They use high-quality packing materials to ensure that items are well-protected during transit. They even put protective materials on the carpets, stairs, and doors of the old and new homes to make sure there are no bumps and damage.  Additionally, they have modern and well-maintained vehicles equipped with the latest technology to ensure a smooth and secure transportation process.

When you request a quote from 1st Choice Removals, they will provide you with a transparent breakdown of the costs involved. There are no hidden fees or surprises along the way. Their pricing is fair and reflects the level of service and expertise they provide.

All of the team are super friendly. From the moment we contacted Chris, he and his team gave us excellent customer service and personalised attention. They guided us through the entire process, from packing and loading to transportation and unloading, making sure that every detail was taken care of.

We decided to do the packing ourselves as it gave me an opportunity to have a good clear-out. They have a fantastic hire scheme; for £50 you can hire the boxes which is great as it means we don't have to worry about the disposal of the boxes after the move. We received a delivery of tape and boxes the day after we ordered.

Moving Day!

The team arrived just before 8am and double-checked everything that was to come with us and asked us about any valuable items that needed extra care then without any fuss swooped in and made a start. I absolutely love that they dismantle and then re-erect all of the beds and anything too large to fit through the doors.

Our young children were with us, and we still had a few boxes to pack so the kids were running a bit wild around the house and garden with the excitement of it all, but all of the team were really lovely to them and had lots of fun and banter with them.

We got to our new home by about 2pm (fortunately it was a local move) and they unloaded and placed all of our items in the designated areas, following our instructions. They didn't rush off - they took the time to make sure everything was out of the van and where it should be.

Conclusion: Why 1st Choice Removals sets the bar high for home removals in the area

We are so happy we chose 1st Choice Removals for our move.  The team couldn't have been more friendly, and we really appreciate them making the whole process stress-free. Thank you so much to both Robs, Clint, and Mike - we really appreciate you!

1st Choice isn't the lowest price removals company we found and came in about mid-range, but I would honestly recommend paying that little bit extra. Our items were all safe and it was all so seamless.

If you are planning a home removal in Poole or anywhere in Dorset, look no further than 1st Choice Removals.
