I was planning to move to London from Middlesbrough and had thought through every detail of my move in advance. The search for a suitable London storage company became difficult, because the reviews about the carriers were very contradictory, the cost of services with minimal service seemed clearly overpriced.
Familiar students from Cambridge recommended the company Stackt. This review of cooperation with Stackt is based on my personal experience — read and choose the best storage service.
The first acquaintance with Stackt
Initially, I was doubtful, because the official website offered too tempting conditions. I counted the approximate cost of services, chose different options and could not understand: why do I like all the offers?
The route from North Yorkshire to London is quite long, there is no airport in Middlesbrough and I needed multilateral help. After contacting the representatives of Stackt, I received a cost calculation that suited me. By the way, they offer various promotional discounts for storing things, depending on the size of the selected warehouse, and there are even separate discount offers for students.
My interaction with the chosen company took place in stages:
- I told you about my wishes.
- The company's representatives calculated the price. I would like to note that all my wishes have been fulfilled.
- We discussed the details.
- The staff from Stackt got to work.
An important clarification is that after making arrangements and making payment, I got to the nearest airport and flew to London with one backpack! I didn't have to pack my things, carry heavy suitcases in my hands and do such unpleasant manipulations. Do you want to know the details?
Packing, cleaning, loading
You were not mistaken when you read this headline. The storage company I chose did all this in the best quality. My rented house in Middlesbrough, which I left, was cleaned to a shine. It seemed like I hadn't lived there for the last 2 years. Things, small furniture, interior paintings and other important items for me were packed according to the rules of transportation. That is, experts packed dishes, clothes, and chairs in different ways. Imagine, all these actions were performed by representatives of the company instead of me for a relatively small fee!
Obviously, I didn't have to do the loading. Movers arrived and carefully moved the packed property to the approaching transport. Once again, I will note the quality of cleaning — this is really an ideal job! After transferring things to cars, the cleaning staff literally renovated the house. The walls, floors, plumbing, windows—it all looked perfectly clean. Therefore, I recommend using the services of storage company Stackt if you want to order cleaning, loading and generally receive qualified assistance when moving.
Good features: storage
Most of all, I was worried about storing things that were left in Middlesbrough. I could take the oversized furniture and household appliances to London in 6 months, since I initially moved to a small apartment. Stackt representatives helped here too — they offered favourable storage conditions:
- A well — maintained storage box, the area of which suited me - 24 feet.
- The cost was £22 for 7 days.
- I was offered a favourable discount because I rented a warehouse for 6 months.
Intrigued? No wonder, because the discount was 40%! That is, I only paid £13.20 a week. These are very favourable conditions in comparison with similar offers in other companies. By the way, these bulky items can also be packed and transported using Stackt. And again, the service pleased me — it was professional movers, modern transport, fast speed of work. The cost is low, which I also like.
By the way, they have different storages. As far as I remember, the cheapest warehouse costs £5 per week and there are also various discounts depending on the shelf life. My storage box was cosy, roomy, without dampness and other disadvantages. After a certain time, I took things from the storage to London and again ordered a move to Stackt — packing, loading, delivery and other services.
So, my move from Stackt continued
I rented an apartment in London in advance. Of course, I wanted to get inexpensive, comfortable accommodation in a good area. The apartment was found, but no one was cleaning. What do you think I did? The obvious answer is to contact your favourite storage company again. Surprisingly, they work all over England and help to travel abroad painlessly.
My apartment in London has been thoroughly cleaned thanks to the cleaning service Stackt. My things from Middlesbrough arrived safely and on the spot the movers brought them inside, unpacked. There were really no disadvantages. The packaging has preserved furniture and even fragile items, including porcelain dishes! That is, the professionalism of this storage company has manifested itself in various formats — qualified assistance in storage and relocation.
Interesting points or what I learned about Stackt from other people
My student friends constantly use the services of this storage company. They say that the company provides favorable discounts for students to move and rent storage facilities. At the same time, you can choose the smallest warehouse for sports equipment or a large VIP storage for valuables with video surveillance. However, promotions are relevant for all types of services — it is very profitable.
A friend moved to another country with the help of Stackt. High-quality service was waiting for her in both countries! In particular, movers, suitable transport and packaging that met international requirements were involved. According to these reviews, I contacted this storage company and did not regret my choice.
Advantages of cooperation with this storage company
I am only describing my personal experience. This is not an advertisement, but recommendations that will be useful to people planning to move.
What I liked about Stackt:
- The staff is polite and correct in communication.
- A loyal and publicly available cost of services.
- The possibility of ordering cleaning and storage.
- Good proper packing of things when moving.
- The speed of work completion.
I will separately highlight the possibility of ordering complex services. That is, you can count on a full—fledged service - from cleaning rented housing to moving your belongings with loading anywhere! And of course, very good storages — I chose from several options, I liked all the offers.
Let's summarise the results
So, storage company Stackt is a versatile service for moving and storing things. The company's representatives demonstrate professionalism and a good attitude towards customers, regardless of their ability to pay. I liked moving with Stackt — this is an honest detailed review!
