Seen some negative reviews for these guys and whilst their communication was a little slow before the event, they did a great job for me. We hired some fridges and freezers for our DIY barn wedding and whilst the delivery time was a little delayed, they delivered the day before the big day to allow the units to cool down in good time. The delivery team were friendly and collected when they were supposed to. The fridges themselves had a few scrapes but all just general wear and tear and the big thing was that they worked perfectly and did what they were supposed to do!
