Brilliant experience

I can't recommend Cadogan Tate highly enough! They were incredibly helpful, professional, polite and friendly and extremely efficient. I had a complicated situation in terms of fixing a moving date and they couldn't have been more helpful and flexible, making the experience of moving a pleasant one rather than a nightmare. They stood out from all the other removal firms I spoke to who were very unhelpful and inflexible. Running up to the day of the move Emanuela was brilliant (as she has been recently in organising for my son to access my goods in storage at short notice) and on the removal days (moving out and moving in which spanned 4 days) Steve and his team were fantastic too and couldn't have been nicer as well as being extremely competent. The best moving firm I have ever used!

Cadogan Tate move

Cadogan Tate coordinated and executed a multi-stage move for my mum and did it flawlessly - they were a pleasure to work with and excellent in every respect. We would like to send our thanks to the entire team and especially to Emanuela and Imty who managed the process brilliantly for us. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Moving out of this second home involved…

Moving out of this second home involved long distance drives to London. It was such a relief to use a company who did it all for us - everything went according to plan and despite some tricky problems with getting things out of the flat on the 4th floor all went smoothly and to schedule. Thank you to Emanuela and the removals team for making the whole thing work and reducing the stress. Its always worth paying a little bit more - you get a lot more!

The best moving company ever !

Moving is always stressful and we had the added impact of Covid hitting so had to juggle dates. Cadogan Tate worked miracles to get us moved on time and consolidated a 2 day move into 1 day with their expert crew ! Leticia was so calm and helpful everytime I called her with a crisis. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you :)

Great team work

What excellent service from Cadogan Tate. I approached a number of companies, and they were the only one to actually visit my property rather than using a video app, and so had a far clearer understanding of my requirements. The move arranged by Leticia Salgueiro was pain free, and the whole team were friendly, courteous, efficient and hard working. Nothing broken, and all my belongings were treated well.

Worst shipping experience ever

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced anywhere. I paid for my shipment to Singapore in February and was assured in writing I wouldn’t be charged storage after that point. However, they continued to charge me storage the following month, accepted that was a mistake and then lied about processing refunds that never materialised (all of which I have documentary evidence of) and now at the end of April they still haven’t even shipped my goods (and are now trying to claim it’s my fault even though I was assured they needed no further documentation from me). I still have not received the refunds despite being promised them in writing on numerous occasions and they have arbitrarily decided they won’t process them until after shipping (who knows when that will be) and no mention of interest on my money they’ve been keeping. They have been rude throughout and haven’t even apologised for any of the many errors. I have never ever done a review of any service provider before but these guys were so awful, I feel obliged to so other people don’t go through what I have. Do not use these people to ship anything. Use someone else.

Dear Ms Gebbett, thank you for taking the time to review our services. We have been waiting on final documentation from you before being able to arrange your shipment and this was received today. However, the General Manager for our Private Client Services division has written to you this evening explaining that your issues will be fully investigated and we will address any service failings and overcharging on storage, should that be found to be correct.

Gratitude for Move Manager Kerry McGahey

I never write these kinds of reviews, but the care, patience, good will and general excellence of Kerry McGahey has prompted me to write today. My mother passed away and the process of shipping her furniture to me in the US was difficult and a little disorganized. Kerry worked with me through it all - and always with so much kindness and understanding. I am so grateful for all her help. Thank you!

I’m so pleased I chose Cadogan Tate for…

I’m so pleased I chose Cadogan Tate for their move and storage services. The removal crew were brilliant - very punctual and efficient, carefully wrapping and loading all my home into the storage containers. I think they must be masters at Tetris! Prior to my move, the estimator and move manager were great - very responsive and organised. I’d definitely recommend using Cadogan Tate.

Brilliant efficient crews but the back…

Brilliant efficient crews but the back office attitude and arrogance is something else… will never use them again, just not worth the big premium they charge.

Superb! Highly recommended

We recently had our goods -fragile glass- moved and we have worked with MANY delivery companies - Cadogan Tate was by far the most professional. I felt like I was in great hands from the start. As experts in what they do, they went above and beyond my expectations. I'd highly recommend them anyone with high end moving needs!

Amazing!!

Moved my entire household from London to Monaco in September 2021 and Cadogan Tate were fantastic. I was incredibly nervous about my furniture and art being packed and transported, which led me to research obsessively for a company I could trust. It was my first time using Cadogan Tate but I believed I was making the right call after the initial correspondence. They heard out my concerns and reassured me of their standards in terms of handling and care and also suggested I order crates for the artworks which they could make up (I felt they received such a request often!)
There was one hiccup along the way, one of the crates were too small for the artwork on the move day but they made a plan and it arrived in one piece.
All in all, it was a seamless process. The wonderful team of guys took instruction well, packed everything in 1 day and our shipment arrived 2 days later.
Very happy and will absolutely use them in future!

Don't even think about using Cadogan Tate

Don't even think about it.
The worst, and a complete bruch off from the management with regards every failure at every step.
use any other company - not this one. The low rating is for a reason.

A pretentious and contemptuous company; "everything, handled without care"

I truly hope this review helps others not to experience the deep contempt, lack of care and disinterest shown by this company despite the excellent social skills of the initial surveyor providing a quote and their persuasive marketing of being "art movers" for museums. There may be one type of service for the museums and another for residential.

Despite the enormous price tag of £8000 paid for moving, many beautiful and beloved antique objects and art works handed down through my family failed to arrive, many broken. The comments made by some of the crew were highly disrespectful and unkind and there was sufficient ill-will, inexperience and ignorance to cause intentional damage.

Please avoid the unnecessary costs, distress and difficulties that will ensue from using this company. They are very persuasive initially but it is superficial.

Though you may be lucky enough to be assigned a couple of experienced and kind handlers, it will not be sufficient to deliver a service that other movers routinely deliver for a quarter of the price. It is very clear from my experience that their interest lies only in money.

My lovely things have been transformed into junk and even a year later as the possibility of moving into a new home looms, I will be unable to bring those things with me that furnish a house with the feeling of familiarity as they are irreparable.

Nineteen months later, the insurance company has still not settled the claim and the loss insurers dragged their heels so that the objects broken by them had to be moved by another company (Ants) who not only were kind, respectful and reasonable but did not break anything at all during the next move.
