You're lucky
Pickfords came and did our move; moving out was fine, but the team that turned up to move our furniture into the new house were terrible, they broke a doorframe because they couldn't be arsed to carry the sofa round to the garden doors and take it through that way, broke the TV stand, dented a load of walls, smashes several bits of china, dropped my husbands PC and knackered it and were generally shit. And they only offered us £25 for the whole lot because my husband failed to put in the insurance claim before the end of 7 days, even though the door frame was marked on the sign off form. I think your wife saved you a world of pain there.

It did actually work out OK.
The guys we got were rough and ready, drove the worlds oldest clapped out luton vans, but they worked like slaves, didn't so much as scratch a single thing.

Worked out about 200 quid cheaper as well, including a decent tip at the end of the day.
