Satisfied customers
"Shore Porters delivered reliable, convenient and stress free logistical assistance to our move by providing support administrative services and proper, timely guidance."
"The quote was done on-site in a professional manner. The surveyor understood my situation and was willing to listen. I was working to a tight deadline for my move; all of this happening during the Covid outbreak. The crew was professional, helpful and a good bunch of guys. No damage occurred and the care exercised was commendable. I selected Shore Porters based on reputation and the fact that the moving crew is employed by Shore Porters; are not contract hands. Quality was my first consideration and Shore Porters price was competitive."
"My family has been using Shore Porters since 2014. We have always found them consistently reliable, helpful and obliging. On this last move, at the end of the day we realised that we had overlooked some items that should have been packed up, and Shore Porters were kind enough to come back for them the next morning."
"Contact was made with Shore Porters after recommendation from a friend after hearing of my disappointed with other Removal companies - where they were either not interested or way-over priced. Shore Porters answered the phone very promptly, was put through to the correct person who took all relevant details, and provided a quote within a short period of time. The Quote was very reasonable priced for the items needing moving, and the timeframe during COVID restrictions was very timely. The team turned up to collect the items on the agreed day, and also delivered the said items on the agreed day. My wife commented on how nice and pleasant the delivery persons were."
"Excellent service throughout, everyone was very friendly and helpful,and our queries were dealt with with patience. Very prompt to arrive at both ends and removers were hard working and careful, getting through the work at a good pace."
