I recently used Van OD to move flats and it was completely stress-free. I found the whole process of organising the removal much simpler than other companies online that ask for precise inventories, dimensions, weights, etc. (which are often impossible to give at the time of booking), and they were very quick to reply to my emails. The driver, Rony, and the other helper were both very friendly, quick and professional.

They were very careful with my things, respectful to both properties and they let me jump in the van with them which was very convenient as I dont drive. The price is also very reasonable. I would recommend them to anybody and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you!

Van OD where great to work with, easy communicators and gave clear estimate after my list of kit was provided (which was actually reduced after they moved all my stuff in less time than quoted!). They put up with moving not only all my heavy boxes of books but all the fiddily bits and slightly awkwardly wrapped items too. Their customer care was particularly notable in that they tip-toed around my housemates, who where moving out simultaneously, without protest. I would obviously recomend these guys and will happily use them again in future.

Good time keeping and always have spaces for emergency moves. I've used them for myself lots of times and my service users. Would defo recommend to others. All the team at Van OD are very friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond. Professional and relatable they are far the best company I've came across. They even do moves outside of Bristol. Just all round amazing.

Would recommend these to anyone moving, nothing seems to difficult. Moving is a stressful time but the way these guys show up and move your stuff (especially down 3 flights of stairs) was amazing. We was all moved in and unpacking within a couple hours.

I cannot recommend Van OD enough! The email communication was great beforehand but the service on the day was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was done easily and with a smile. They made my move simple and stress-free. Plus their prices are really reasonable and they don't try to catch you out with extra costs.

Van OD was the perfect choice for our move from one top floor apartment to another, which included a good amount of stairs on a very hot and muggy day. They were friendly, professional and efficient, helping us through a stressful move for an extremely fair and competitive price.

Amazing service, was on time and so polite and helpful. Needed something picking up from free to collector and he was more than happy to accommodate. The rate was great considering it was a Sunday. And was very quick. Very happy!

Excellent service! Robin gave us a very competitive quote for a collection from Bicester, Oxfordshire with delivery to Lydney. He kept us informed on the day, and was really helpful with lifting, loading and unloading. Would definitely use again, and will be recommending to friends and family.

I've been using Robin and his team for over a year now - they're reliable, friendly and woman friendly! In fact we use them so often to get to markets and events that at this point they're more of a partner to us than a supplier. Highly recommend.

Robin was very helpful and quick getting our stuff from one flat to another with a flight of stairs in between, all with about five hours notice on a Saturday.
