SMART CAR DRIVERS

removals in edinburgh

Being a man with a van ( I own the van and don’t rent when I need it) I am a careful driver, well Im on the road every day working do what a man and van In Edinburgh does, trying to avoid scrapes and cutting traffic up unlike big car drivers like BWW man. Or shop owners sons in big flash cars with pumping stereos you know the ones I mean …. Arrogant chaps I say!

I’ve noticed some of those small so called eco friendly Smart cars going around the streets nipping in /out of traffic almost like one of those lycra tour de France cyclists who are on a mission of death.

Today I was met with a gaze of fury from a bespectacled lady pointing at her eyes with two fingers, not sure if she was saying sorry to me for being a smart car driver and cutting everyone up and she was all that mattered, or deciding as Im in a white van and may have blocked her 40mph+ dart across Queens street/dundas street – anyway she drove off in a puff of fury and down dundas street – I caught up with her on London street , you know people don’t realise Dublin streets open again after so many years of being blocked of as a rat run

I couldn’t catch up with her, as she stormed into East Clermont street, you know the bit at broughton road area, I wasn’t trying as I’m a law abiding citizen and losing my license isn’t worth the hassle, she must’ve be used to driving like a nutter – look out for a Smart car, Its cream and black with a dyed brown haired lady the wrong side of 50 with a snarl– lady might be too good a term to describe her !

Rentals in Edinburgh

removals in edinburgh

Being a removals company actually based in Edinburgh I have noticed Since the start of this spending boom 'we want but cant afford but will have it anyway' recession I have only moved a handful of home buyers in Edinburgh, it more or less died a death in march/April 2008 but luckily room renting and general flat rental markets in Edinburgh has been kept going, some rents going down then going up due to demand, sometimes people who looked to sell their home during the price plummet or so called plummet in house prices,have been so fed up waiting for something that will never happen (selling at the price they wanted) then deciding to rent out their home and moving into rented accommodation just to get the hell out of the property.

Things picked up in sept /October 2009 last year but it’s now disappeared. I do think Labour/Gordon browns recession has a further kick up the ass for us all , they never tell the truth do they ( I know a guy who operates that way) as for all the lost jobs its gone up 10000 in Scotland in the past few months and I’m not sure how the UK can actually cope with and election change and the costs of funding the state as that seems to be the big fat suckling pig on the tax front – all those tradesman/gardeners/immigrants losing jobs/income and trying to turn there hand to something else and its not the best time to start an alternative business especially if you live out in the sticks…lol uoi could always give a false address and see how it goes ?

Chosing the right Removals company

Removals in Edinburgh

Choosing the right removals company in Edinburgh cant be a right old chore as its your personal possessions, really youre inviting strangers into your home and you have no idea who they are or even if they say there are who they say they are ( if that makes sense) might do if something’s damaged or goes missing .

Recently I’ve experienced address spamming by someone who doesn’t live in Edinburgh city but suggests he does and I ll tell you a load are at it just going by reading others comments , people will try almost anything to get a job nowadays, mostly due to the recession and an apparent recent explosion of Edinburgh based removals companies man with a van style has proved this (jack the lad master of none) the sort of guys you call up and you hear hammering or power tools in the background , guys who don’t do removals full time for a living but fancy trying there (ahhemm) skilled hand at it in-between working on sites or digging holes in the gardens.

Heres some tips to weed out those removals rouges –
Ask for the trading address – any hesitation, ifs… buts… maybe…its ex`s house… don’t use them
Get persons name you are speaking - if it’s a nick name like gogs tam etc forget it
If they answer the phone and don’t say company name on answering – it because they are getting handyman/ you name it jobs
Got a web address looks legit doesn’t it , well erm no…. – look for there address/landline number on it no sign forget it –
Mobile number with no name you’ll get what you pay for, a right old shock. Most likely

If you get a quote and they call you back pressuring to use them it because they are desperate for the job , you would be advised to stay well clear of anyone like that.
False reviews on sites another classic – just read them and see how the writing style looks the same – people writing ‘’warmest regards’’ or going over the top like ‘’my neighbour asked about you and is moving out soon’’ , utter rubbish and really easy to spot to be honest.

Customers do reviews its because they want to and its in there own words if they look the same don’t waste you time by using these companies.

Picking the right man with a van
Get suggestions from friends see if they have used someone
Look in yellow pages /phone book/internet do a cross reference check if hes real you will find him easily and if you can check website address or some form of document on a site like this hes for real !!

POT TO POT /KEY TO KEY OR NOT TO BE ?

Another Edinburgh Man with a van job in the Evening , I find i can do Removals in Edinburgh like this as I live in the city unlike some , well... a customer last night , told me 20 bags to be moved to granton , all ready to go. Apparently someone called the van man gave them a quote the doubled it , I think he turned up and told them to take a run and jump , not me... im not like that, always helping people if I like it or not, anyway after being told 5 guys were going to help (actual 2) I got a bit fed up and told them this wasn't what we agreed they had over 40 bags and a huge flight case , biggest I've ever seen - like a rock bands drum kit was in it size ( did I say it was in north fort street Edinburgh) exotic aromas in the stair prob coming from the customers helpers whom seemed to be on another planet in between mutterings - so once the van was full we headed off , but not before they both finished the joints they had been smoking for what seemed like 40 mins .

I was told a number to stop at in granton medway so we stopped and started unloading , a bit of confusing at that point, no access keys not fitting for some reason ? so I buzzed someone and they let us in , 5 mins later - sorry wez ayt wzong addrezzz , so after a few well chosen words from myself , apparently they had only been there twice before , so I said ''that's twice more than me '' we then moved 5 doors down the street to the correct address

I felt I wasn't going to get paid for some reason, pot heads and 2 didn't speak English that I could understand , one guy kept getting calls from someone called Alisha and kept putting the phone down, not before going ''YOOOOWwww ALISHA sHTop calln meeez''- you can imagine his annoying ring tone , anyway job finally done, I got paid , not sure if they knew what day it was but that's people for you and other companies - I don't let people down if I can help it no matter what they are like !!

Edinburgh Most tolerant Removals company (Honest)

Removal of a sofa In Edinburgh

removals in edinburgh

Reading some rubbish on another removals blog about moving a sofa from an apartment that had a upvc door, most upvc doors can be lifted off with ease (not all) just pin attached to an open hinge and I very much doubt its true due to the history from this site - good chance you can unbolt the arms of the sofa and good removals guy know how to do this.

As for Moving American fridges thats a nonsense as well if you cant get it out the door it must be a very narrow door, someone whos a bit over weight would find it difficult to get out never mind a fridge another space filling nonsense for a guy who doesnt live where he says he lives.

What you find is most people cant remember how goods get into a house if a door came off or a window used ive never had any expereice of a door being replaced and it not getting out and I do a lot of Removals in Edinburgh

Never trust what you read !
