Man with Van Uxbridge Complaints Procedure

Man with Van Uxbridge is committed to providing a reliable and professional removal service. We aim to complete every home or office move safely, on time and with care. If something goes wrong or you are unhappy with any part of our service, we want to know about it as soon as possible so we can put things right and learn from the experience.

Our Commitment to Handling Complaints

We take all complaints seriously and treat them as an opportunity to improve. Every concern raised will be handled fairly, courteously and without bias. We will respect your privacy, keep information secure, and only share details with team members who need them to investigate and resolve your complaint. Our goal is to reach a clear and reasonable outcome within a sensible timeframe.

What Counts as a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our services, whether reasonable or not, that requires a response. This can include, but is not limited to:

Concerns about the conduct, attitude or punctuality of our drivers or removal staff. Issues regarding the handling, loading or unloading of your belongings. Questions or concerns about quotes, pricing or how charges have been applied. Dissatisfaction with the standard of communication, booking arrangements or after-move support. Problems with timing, delays or cancellations of your move.

If you are unsure whether your concern is a complaint, you are still encouraged to raise it. We will either resolve it informally straight away or treat it as a formal complaint if needed.

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint verbally or in writing. You can raise issues with a driver or team member on the day of your move, or contact our office at a later stage. Written complaints are helpful because they provide a clear record of what happened and what you would like us to do.

When making a complaint, please provide as much information as you can, including:

Your full name and the address where the service took place. The date and approximate time of your move or booking. A clear description of what happened and why you are dissatisfied. Details of any damage, loss or delay, including photos if available. Any steps already taken to resolve the matter on the day. What outcome you are seeking, such as an explanation, apology, correction, compensation or changes to future service.

Time Limits for Complaints

We encourage you to raise any issues as soon as possible, ideally within 7 days of your move. This allows us to investigate promptly while details are still fresh and any evidence is still available. Complaints made after a longer period will still be considered, but it may be more difficult to investigate fully or reach a definitive conclusion.

How We Will Respond

Once we receive your complaint, we will:

Acknowledge your complaint and record it in our system. Aim to provide an initial acknowledgement within 3 working days. Review the information you have provided and any records from the booking and removal team. Contact you if we need further details or clarification. Investigate the matter impartially, speaking with staff involved where relevant. Provide you with a clear written or verbal response explaining our findings, any decisions reached and any actions we will take.

We aim to issue a full response to most complaints within 14 working days. If the matter is complex or requires more time to investigate, we will let you know and provide an updated timeframe.

Possible Outcomes and Remedies

Depending on the nature and outcome of the investigation, we may offer one or more of the following:

A clear explanation of what happened and why. A sincere apology where we have fallen short of our standards. Practical steps to put things right, where possible. A goodwill gesture or partial refund, if appropriate and in line with our terms and conditions. Changes to our internal procedures, staff training or service processes to help prevent similar issues in future.

Each complaint is assessed on its own facts and circumstances. We will always aim to be fair and proportionate, taking into account any relevant contractual terms and conditions that applied to your removal booking.

Escalating Your Complaint

If you are not satisfied with our initial response, you can ask for your complaint to be reviewed by a more senior member of our team. When requesting an escalation, please explain why you are unhappy with the original outcome and what further resolution you are seeking.

The review will generally involve a re-examination of the original complaint, the investigation steps taken and the decision made. We may ask for further information and will then provide you with a final response, setting out our position and the reasons for it.

Complaints Related to Damage or Loss

If your complaint involves damage to or loss of items during your move, please notify us as soon as possible. It is helpful if you provide:

A description of the items affected and their approximate value. Photographs of the damage where available. Any supporting documents, such as purchase receipts or valuations, if you have them.

We will review the circumstances of the move, how items were packed and handled, and any relevant terms agreed at the time of booking. Any compensation or remedy will be considered in line with our contractual obligations and any applicable limitations described in your booking documentation.

Using Feedback to Improve Our Removal Services

All complaints and significant concerns are logged and reviewed on a regular basis. We look for patterns, recurring issues or trends so that we can improve the way we deliver local and regional removal services. This may include additional staff training, adjustments to scheduling and route planning, enhanced communication with customers, or improvements to packing and handling procedures.

By sharing your experience, you help us refine our service for future customers across our operating area. We value your feedback and will always treat your complaint respectfully and professionally.

Privacy and Data Protection

Information you provide as part of a complaint will be handled in line with our data protection commitments. We will only use your details for the purposes of investigating and resolving your complaint, and for monitoring and improving our services. Your information will not be shared outside our organisation unless we are legally required to do so.
