Man and Van Waterloo Complaints Procedure
Man and Van Waterloo is committed to delivering a reliable, efficient and professional removal service. We recognise that, on occasion, things may not go as planned. When this happens, we want to know about it so that we can put things right and improve our service for the future. This complaints procedure explains how to raise a concern, how we will respond, and what you can expect from us at every stage.
Our Commitment to You
We treat every complaint seriously and handle it in a fair, transparent and timely manner. Our aims are to listen carefully, investigate thoroughly, respond clearly, and learn from your experience. We will always try to resolve issues as quickly as possible, ideally at the time they arise, but where this is not possible, this procedure will apply.
What Is a Complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction about our removal or man and van services, whether it relates to booking, communication, punctuality, conduct of our team, handling of your belongings, charges, or any other part of the service you have received from Man and Van Waterloo.
We welcome all feedback, including comments and suggestions that are not formal complaints. However, if you want us to investigate and formally respond to a concern, it will be treated under this complaints procedure.
How to Make a Complaint
You should raise your complaint as soon as possible after the issue arises so that it is easier for us to investigate. Please provide as much detail as you can, including your full name, the date and time of your move, the collection and delivery locations, and a clear description of what went wrong. Supporting information such as job references, photographs and any written communication you have from us is also very helpful.
You can make a complaint in writing or by speaking with us directly. If your complaint is made verbally, we may ask you to confirm key details in writing so that we can accurately record and investigate it.
Stage One: Informal Resolution
In the first instance, we encourage you to raise the issue with the driver or team leader on the day of your move, or with the office staff who managed your booking. Many problems can be resolved quickly at this stage through clarification, an explanation or a simple corrective action.
If the issue cannot be resolved immediately, we will log your concern and refer it to a member of staff who is able to investigate. We aim to acknowledge informal complaints promptly and to provide a clear response within a reasonable period, taking into account the nature and complexity of the matter.
Stage Two: Formal Written Complaint
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the informal stage, or if the matter is serious, you may submit a formal written complaint. In your written complaint, please explain what happened, why you are dissatisfied, and what outcome you are seeking. The more information you provide, the quicker and more accurately we can assess the situation.
Once we receive your formal complaint, we will acknowledge it in writing. We will then appoint a person who was not directly involved in the original job to review your complaint impartially. This may involve contacting you for more information, speaking to the staff involved, reviewing paperwork, job notes and any relevant images.
Timescales for Responses
We aim to acknowledge formal complaints promptly from the date we receive them. Our goal is to provide a full written response within a set timeframe that reflects the complexity of the complaint. Straightforward complaints may be resolved more quickly, while those involving multiple issues, third parties or claims for loss or damage may require more time for investigation.
If we need additional time to investigate thoroughly, we will let you know, explain why and provide an updated timescale. Throughout the process we will keep you informed of the progress of your complaint.
Our Investigation and Outcomes
During our investigation, we will consider all relevant information, including the terms of your booking, our internal policies, job records and any evidence you have provided. We will assess whether we have met our obligations, whether our service fell below the expected standard and what should be done to address the situation.
Possible outcomes may include an explanation or clarification, practical steps to put things right, an apology where appropriate, or other remedies that are reasonable in the circumstances and consistent with our terms and conditions. When we have reached a conclusion, we will send you a clear written response outlining our findings, our decision and the reasons for it.
Escalating Your Complaint
If, after receiving our written response, you believe your complaint has not been handled fairly or remains unresolved, you may ask for a further review. Your request for escalation should set out which aspects of our response you disagree with and why.
A more senior member of the business will then review your complaint, our previous investigation and any new information you provide. We will aim to respond to this review within a reasonable timeframe. The outcome of this stage will be our final internal decision on your complaint.
Complaints About Loss or Damage
In the event of alleged loss of or damage to your belongings during a removal or man and van job, you should notify us as soon as you become aware of the issue. To help us assess any claim, please provide photographs, descriptions, receipts or valuations where available, along with details of when and how the issue was discovered.
All such complaints will be handled in line with this procedure and in accordance with our terms and conditions, which set out any limitations and responsibilities relating to packing, fragile items, restricted items and pre existing damage. We may need to inspect the items or ask you to retain them for inspection while we investigate.
Using Your Feedback to Improve
Every complaint is an opportunity for Man and Van Waterloo to improve the way we plan, carry out and manage removal services. We review complaints regularly to identify patterns, training needs and areas where we can enhance our processes, communication and care for customers possessions.
By following this complaints procedure, we aim to resolve individual issues fairly and consistently while using the feedback we receive to deliver a better service to all our customers.
Confidentiality and Data Protection
All complaints are handled in confidence. Information is shared only with the staff who need it in order to investigate and respond. We handle your personal data in line with applicable data protection requirements and our privacy practices. Complaint records are stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary for legal, regulatory and business purposes.
Review of This Procedure
