Just avoid at all cost - probably the least professional and human friendly people in the industry. We bought an exercise bike online which arrived broken by a different company who delivered it front of our flat door, but since its arrived DOA the seller organised this company to collect the old one. This Burns turned up on time, my asthmatic fiance was at home. The driver was rushing, was rude, explained that they only do doorstep delivery. My fiance asked them to leave the box in the communal area then inside the building (we live in a flat), but the driver refused to do that with a comment
