Alright, I need some real talk here. I hired a man and van service in Knowsley last month, and let’s just say it was a disaster. They showed up late, scratched my dining table, and then had the audacity to hit me with extra charges for "unexpected difficulties." Like, excuse me? It’s literally your job to move things! Now, I need to move again and don’t want to make the same mistake. How do I find a service that won’t completely ruin my day?

Ugh, been there. I learned the hard way that flashy ads mean nothing. What worked for me? Read the bad reviews first—they tell you everything. Also, always ask for a detailed quote upfront. A legit company will break everything down, no surprises. And if they don’t do a quick assessment before the move? Red flag. I went with hiring a man with van last time, and they were upfront, professional, and—get this—on time. Game changer.

Honestly, I just go for word of mouth. Reviews are fine, but nothing beats a solid recommendation from someone you trust. I’ve had both great and awful experiences, and the biggest factor has always been communication. If they’re flaky before the move, they’ll be flaky during it too. My last move? The guys were super chill but knew what they were doing—quick, careful, and didn’t try to scam me. Just talk to people, ask around, and don’t settle for the first company that pops up online.
