I've had the pleasure of interacting with 2mv Logistics on a number of projects over the couple of months and their services have been superb. Every delivery we have arranged so far has been prompt, reliable, and Fab from their office is always in communication so you know whats going on. I'd definitely recommend this company.

Arrived on time but then the driver unloaded my toolbox enclosure on a pallet ( 90kg + a pallet) next to my neighbours door, literally on the pavement and said that their job is done (there were two men). I asked if they aren't going to help me get it into my front garden but the response was that's a company company policy...and should I not be happy with them leaving it on the main driveway I should contact the office. This is beyond unacceptable, especially that I am a woman and there's no way I can carry that all by myself... secondly, what sort of company policy is it to leave stuff on the

I am posting this review from the angle of being a horse rider. I cannot praise this company enough for the way their drivers act around horses. I was lucky enough to be out riding my large 17.2 horse in a very tight country lane when I encountered not one but several lorries from this company. The Drivers were driving carefully, cautious and stopped to let me ride past, even turning off their engines and waiting until I was well past them. good job to all involved.

Delivery reference 66524885 driver Nick. I had a large pallet of logs delivered today and Nick handled this to perfection, so helpful and managed to get the pallet just where I wanted it. When getting the pallet onto the tail lift I was a little concerned as it only just fitted. I also noticed after that the max capacity of the lift was less than the pallet weight. Given all that a perfect delivery.
