There was lots of communication all the way through with emails and calls being replied to very quickly. The price was very favourable compared to other local removal companies. The team that did the removals worked so hard, and they were a nice bunch of chaps too. They arrived on time, hardly took a break and got the job done quickly, very professionally and with good humour. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would certainly use them again if required. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Oct 2022 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Communication was clear at every step of the process.

Amalia Candido Stringhini, Great Shelford, Cambridge, UK.                          ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) January 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Excellent team, great company, outstanding packing. They do what they say and say what they do. Everything, including art and very fragile objects arrived perfectly. They are surely worth the money. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) April 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) We had movers show up two days in a row and both crews were outstanding! They took great care unloading our belongings and made a stressful time easier to manage. I would highly recommend Galleon-International. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) April 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) From the beginning, the moving company staff was very attentive and willing to solve any doubts, in very short terms. The material was very well packaged. The delivery was made within the stated period and the change, at first, arrived without apparent damage. I say in principle because it was my choice that the people who brought the material did not empty the boxes, as there was not enough space at home for the material received. So far I am fully satisfied with the whole process. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) May 2023 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) *Moving from the USA to the Uk could not have been better managed - from day one Galleon -Amanda was there to assist with everything from HMRC requirements to Storage and ultimately scheduling the Delivery 3 months later - the Galleon team who re-united us with our USA belongings were simple fantastic, nothing was too much trouble they were already well drilled and efficient but all of it was done with quality and pride paramount, and not to forget all of this was done with a smile on their faces.
