Although I used this removal company about 18 months ago, when at the time I wasn't very happy with the service provided (but stupidly didn't complain), it was only 2 weeks ago when I moved house again that their appalling man-handling and knowledge of my expensive solid oak furniture has become apparent. Going back 2 years when I was first looking for a removal company, the Sales rep that came out to the house "sold" me GB Liners on the fact that due to me having OCD (contamination related), the removal guys would be all very clean and smartly dressed. The glossy brochure showed the men wearing corporate polo shirts and all looking smart. I didn't actually end up using GBL for this first move as the estate agent that sold our marital home put me onto another removal company who was about £150 cheaper. However, for my next move some 7 months later when my rental hadn't worked out, GBL was my one and only call since I wasn't impressed with the previous removal company that I used. Although the removal itself went OK, my main complaint on the day with GBL was that the 3 guys weren't anywhere near smart, infact the older man compared very close to Compo from Last of the Summer Wine !!!! Although very agile and still perfectly capable, "Compo" must've been around 60, there was foreign (Polish/Czech/Romanian???) guy who didn't speak much English and finally a "normal" English guy. It is now the Eastern European guy that has caused the 1 star rating as completely unbeknown to me until 2 weeks ago when I moved again, he has ruined a couple of pieces of my oak furniture by "botching" it together when re-assembling it 18 months ago. Due to the fact that my furniture was often too big and heavy, a lot of it had to be dismantled (1 double bed, 2 single beds, a dining room table and a double wardrobe). One of the single beds wasn't reassembled correctly (which I only found out about 12 months after my move and hence too late to complain about anyway) but my main aggravation was the reassembly of my double wardrobe. The young lad that reassembled it on my last move 2 weeks ago showed me how GBL had used the wrong screws (too long) and therefore made holes all over in the top and bottom of my wardrobe or else had tightened the screws so tight that they had been rounded off. For this section of my wardrobe, the guys 2 weeks ago had to leave 2 sections of my wardrobe attached together and struggle with it. For these reasons, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GB LINERS to anyone !!!!
