House Move from Aberdeen to Fife & Storage
reviewed February 2026

"We moved from Aberdeen to Fife, with our furniture being in storage between to moves.."

"The teams at both ends of the move were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble for them. We absolutely couldn't fault them!! Would have no hesitation in using them again should we decide on a further move (which we very much hope will not happen!!). The team who worked on packing our possessions in Aberdeen performed extremely well, even although they were a man short at the beginning. They were clearly very professional in their work and were very accommodating in order to ensure that our wishes were recognised and acted upon. Similarly, the team delivering our possessions in Fife were equally professional and they went out of their way to ensure that the furniture and boxes went to where we wanted them to go! We wouldn't hesitate in using Shore Porters in the future and are happy to recommend them to friends and family."

House Move and Storage
reviewed February 2026

"The weather on my moving day was atrocious. I had a very heavy corner unit and they managed to get it down 12 steep steps to the van.."

"The crew worked so hard and efficiently under terrible weather conditions using their initiative as to where all the furniture had to go. The following day I couldn't find my Sky box and on telephoning for help the guys were able to tell me the exact location of the storage box where it was contained so I was able to find it quite easily. Couldn't have had a better bunch of men to help ease the stress of a very traumatic day."

House removal and storage
reviewed February 2026

"Shore Porters conducted 2 moves for us & also took our belongings into storage. The moves were from Aberdeen to storage & then from storage to Edinburgh.."

"I obtained quotes from several removal firms & they were all different prices. Shore Porters were not the cheapest but not the most expensive by a long shot. The reason I went with Shore Porters in the end was because of Kerry Farman. She was they key to all of the coordination of our moves/storage. She gave me total confidence that she knew what she was doing for us & her communication with us was first class. Well done Kerry. I also spoke to others in the office who were also informative. The removal guys themselves were very careful & considerate of our belongings & helped with anything we asked for. I also think Kerry should get a promotion for her coordination as this wasn’t an easy move."

House move from Midmar to Banchory
reviewed February 2026

"Excellent service. Packer’s did a thoroughly good job 2 days and one before the move and also on the day of moving! Overall from quotation right through to final move, we have been happy with the team and the service provided."

"We were extremely happy with the move from start of quotation to final We found all the shore Porters staff very helpful and cooperative. Also patient when we had to wait for keys to access the new property. Supply of additional boxes for our own packing was also very helpful. We are still working on unpacking everything, so the offer to come to remove packaging and empty boxes is also a nice feature which will be very beneficial. Luckily the weather was kind to us all on the moving day, but precautions were taken to keep wet or dirty shoes from the floors, just in case. A nice service. Very difficult to suggest any means of improvement other than keeping up with the way you are doing things already."

House Move from Ballater to Aboyne
reviewed December 2025

"From start to finish we were given excellent service, all very professional and courteous. Driver Jim and the two young lads (Jake & ??) were exceptional and did all the packing and heavy lifting. Very professional, efficient and hard working but also friendly. The move went very smoothly and all delivered to rooms/areas as requested. Much impressed."

"Our initial request was through Scott Thomson who supplied the quotes for removal and storage. We were then in discussions with Kerrie Farman who was very informative and very helpful. We agreed costs and move dates. We were moving from Ballater to Aboyne and be looking for a move back in due course. Reason for moving, was from our property to lease property for a duration due to fire damage from a neighboring property. The move went smoothly and the guys were excellent."

Relocation from Inverness to Aberdeen
reviewed November 2025

"Relocation from Inverness to Aberdeen. The guys were very efficient and professional. It was a fairly "standard" move from their perspective but was handled very well."

"The guys were very pleasant and friendly, kept us informed all the way through and couldn't do enough to ensure we knew what was happening and when."

House Removal
reviewed September 2025

"Moved to nearby location to downsize. We had boxes delivered prior to the move. We packed non breakable items. Shore porters were responsible for breakables. Furniture moved was all quite standard. The difficult area was the garage-an exceptionably large work bench, a wood turning lathe and lots of tools. All handled with ease. In addition in the house was an indoor orchid collection, these were also handled with care. We had a walk through visit prior to the move. The move was handled over three days."

"The experience of dealing with Shore Porters was excellent from initial enquiry to completion of the move. We had an initial visit whilst making up our mind which company to use. The details of the move were discussed. This was quickly followed up by contact from the office(Aberdeen) and a quote. The quote was not the cheapest, but we were very impressed by the service offered so went with it. Prior to the move we had contact with the office and packing boxes delivered. On moving day the crew arrived early and set to packing quickly. They were friendly and professional. All items were handled with care. The move took place over three days, with packing finished on day two. On day two, when we finally got the keys, the van was waiting for us at our new house. Unpacking was completed on day three. At all times the crew were excellent."

House Removal Lincolnshire to Aberdeenshire
reviewed September 2025

"I moved from Lincolnshire to Aberdeenshire. Access at both ends was challenging but the guys were superb. They arrived promptly and got a 4 bed house and garden packed and loaded in 8 hours."

"The quote I was given was very reasonable and the office staff answered my questions quickly and clearly. The whole experience was far less traumatic the I expected and I would thoroughly recommend this company."

House Removal Aberdeen to Dalkeith
reviewed August 2025

"We chose SPS for our move from Aberdeen to Dalkeith. An excellent pre-quotation visit was done and after accepting the quote the dates for the move were scheduled. It was a summer move: first to storage and then delivery to our new home."

"A crew of 4 packed up in high temperatures and then a crew of 2 made the delivery from storage. All our goods had no breakage or damage. After we unpacked all the empty boxes and paper were picked up from us within a week. Overall a stress free move. An excellent job was done by the Assessor, the removal crew and the move coordinator. We received 3 quotes from reputable companies. We selected SPS as they employ their crew and look after them also during the move and possible overnight stays."
