    I've just made a note to call them when it's our time to get quotes....just for the fun of having him round with his bride to be by then we may need distraction/light relief. Absolutely no pun intended :mrgreen:

    I may be way off mark here but I'm sure his name was something like Angus.

    We had a 'Billy' from Crown. Did not see a mail order bride though. I know this is a little entertaining, but you folks really should see beyond the sales rep's personality.

    The Crown packers have just left after their first day of packing and we are in shock. The whole of the ground floor has been packed and a few items on the first floor - we really did not expect the speed of it all. BTW they are lovely guys and have really taken great care.

    You're right of course Glenda. Mind you, this guy from Crown didn't impress me much at all when he came to telling me about the service they offer. He was all 'err' this and 'err' that, didn't fill me with confidence. Frankly he gave me the impression he was guessing at most of the answers.

    Plus the fact that they were sooooooooooo expensive.

    However, that's just one employee from a huge company. They must be good to be able to continue trading. Great to hear that your first day has gone well, what's it like watching your life being packed away?

    Keep us posted and good luck.

    Not being impressed by the sales rep isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    We were very impressed by the Pickfords rep and his decription of what we would get for our money.

    Trouble was their service was totally crap.

    If only it had been the other way round...

    However, had it been the other way round you never would have known how good they are - cos you would have kicked the rep out of the door and gone with someone else!

    Unfortunately you've hit the nail on the head there - if a company can get one of these things wrong it's service delivery and not the sales presentation, which is why many put more focus onto telling you how good they're going to be than into actually being it.
