Frankly, anybody with any amount of common sense would insist that the mover kept their shoes on so as to protect their feet from injury when moving heavy objects. Additionally, if you are in Germany, you need to remember you are NOT in Asia. In the west, it's not as common, the taking off of shoes before entering the house. I'd have told you much the same thing, more from a safety point of view.dirkha wrote:Do not take Oxford Van Lines.
The sales lady did not talk nicely about her movers when they were late on the packing date...
However, the packing went smoothly after a two hour delay.
The surprise came when I received my belongings in Germany a few weeks later. My coffee table was damaged and a glass cover of a sideboard was cracked. When I confronted Oxford Van Lines (Ms Mel), she told me to bugger of.
Also, the two guys who delivered the goods in Germany did not want to take the shoes off in my house (this goes without saying everywhere in Asia). They said, if I insist on it, they will not proceed with the move.
Cutting a long story short: I cannot recommend this company.
On insurance: you may save a lot of money by obtaining your own insurance via ATL Insurance Agency Pte Ltd. I paid 0.5% of the insured value. The move companies all quoted aroud 3%.
Dirkha, Re: your insurance recommendation, this company does not seem to even have a website ? Did you claim them for the coffee table / sideboard damage you mentioned and if so did they pay it out ?dirkha wrote:Do not take Oxford Van Lines.
