What This Procedure Covers
This procedure applies to complaints relating to our services as a removal company, including:
• Home moves and household removals
• Office and commercial relocations
• Packing and unpacking services
• Loading, unloading and transport of goods
• Short-term or long-term storage services
• Conduct and behaviour of our staff and crews
• Communication and administration connected with your move
It does not cover general enquiries, requests for quotes or routine service questions, which will be handled through our normal customer service channels.
How To Make A Complaint
You can make a complaint in writing. Please provide as much detail as possible so that we can understand and investigate your concerns effectively.
When submitting your complaint, please include where possible:
• Your full name
• Your postal address
• Your preferred contact method
• Your move date and reference, if known
• A clear description of what went wrong
• Dates and times of any incidents
• Names or descriptions of any staff involved, if known
• Any supporting information or evidence you wish to share
Providing clear and accurate information helps us to investigate more quickly and reach a fair outcome.
Timescales For Making A Complaint
You should raise your complaint as soon as reasonably possible after the issue arises, particularly if it relates to the moving day itself or to the condition of your belongings on delivery. Timely complaints make it easier for us to identify what happened and to respond appropriately.
Where a complaint relates to loss or damage to goods, you should notify us as soon as you become aware of the issue. Please refer to your terms and conditions for any specific time limits that may apply to claims or notifications.
How We Will Handle Your Complaint
Once we receive your complaint, we will follow a structured process to ensure it is handled consistently and fairly.
1. Acknowledgement
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a reasonable timeframe. In this acknowledgement we may ask for additional information if we need it to understand the issue clearly.
2. Investigation
Your complaint will be passed to an appropriate member of our management team for investigation. They may review documentation such as quotes, inventories, move plans, job sheets and photographs. Where relevant, they may also speak with any staff or contractors who were involved in your move.
3. Assessment
We will assess your complaint objectively, taking into account the information you have provided, any evidence available and the terms and conditions agreed before your move. We will consider whether our service met our own standards and any applicable industry best practice.
4. Response
Once our investigation is complete, we will provide you with a written response. This will explain:
• Our understanding of your complaint
• The steps we took to investigate
• Our findings and conclusions
• Any offer of remedy or resolution, if appropriate
We aim to provide a full response within a reasonable period. If we need more time due to the complexity of the complaint, we will let you know and keep you informed of progress.
Possible Outcomes And Remedies
Depending on the nature of your complaint and our findings, possible outcomes may include:
• An explanation or clarification
• An apology where our service has fallen short
• Corrective action on future services we provide to you
• A review and improvement of our internal processes
• Where appropriate and in line with our terms and conditions, a financial adjustment or compensation
Any remedy offered will be fair and proportionate to the circumstances and will be made in accordance with the contractual terms that apply to your move.
If You Are Not Satisfied
If you are not satisfied with our initial response, you may ask for your complaint to be reviewed. Your request for a review should explain why you remain dissatisfied and what outcome you are seeking.
Where possible, a different member of our management team will carry out this review to ensure a fresh and impartial look at your complaint and our previous decision. Following the review, we will send you a final written response setting out our position.
Data Protection And Confidentiality
All complaints will be handled in line with our obligations under data protection law. Information you provide will be used only for the purpose of investigating and resolving your complaint and for improving our services. We will keep complaint records securely and will only share information where it is necessary and lawful to do so.
Continuous Improvement
We take all feedback seriously and use the information from complaints to help us improve our removals and storage services. Trends and recurring issues are monitored so that we can identify areas where staff training, process changes or additional safeguards may be required.
By following this Complaints Procedure, we aim to resolve individual issues fairly and to continually raise the standard of service offered by Movers Balham.
