Howells & Sons Removals Review

Doing rough calcs on size of a small Luton van, I would think minimum cubic capacity would be around 24 cube but could be 36 + cube, lesson here is never get an estimate, always get a written quote, they then cannot go back and ask for more money if you have a quotation in writing, the onus is on them, not you if they have under estimated.!
If you have a quote from them , then you may have some recourse, not sure of laws in Spain.

I was warned about this company when we moved to Spain so didn't use them.

I have copied this from a website
Luton Van

Also referred to as a 3.5 Tonne Luton Van, this vehicle is another popular one. Despite the fact their loading capacity is not that much larger than the LWB van (approximately 15-16 cubic metres), Luton vans are often preferable because they often have a tail lift, they’re narrow so easy manoeuvrable around narrow streets (which is especially useful when moving house in London), and because the wheel arches don’t poke into the storage area which makes packing boxes much easier.

A Luton van can take a two bedroom flat or a small house with up to 45 boxes, a table and set of chairs (as long as they’re stackable), big sofas, two double beds, wardrobes and white goods.

They never gave a written quote, something my parents didn't even think about. You really don't expect someone to try to rip you off by 1000 euros. It worries me how many times they have got away with this.

Hi that sounds bad but I can only say our experience was totally the opposite when we used them to move over here ,we got three months storage then we realised that we needed longer no problem at all they even dropped some very important paperwork to us because we didn't have a car,when we moved they only charged us for two extra months storage instead of three as it was only a part month

Glad yours worked out ok. The final price of 1650 euros although was a lot more than was quoted wasn't too bad as my parents ended up having 12 weeks storage. That was hassle as Ann had put the date on the paperwork a month before they actually picked it up so the storage firm wanted to charge my parents another month! My biggest concern is they tried to charge for 25 cubic meters when the van they used didn't hold any more than 15-16 cubic meters. This isn't the first time this has happened. How many times have they got away with this. I am willing to take this further if I hear of any more.

We used them to move from the uk to Spain in 2013, that was no problem but when we had a couple of boxes missing we telephoned the office. The woman on the phone was listening to me but in the background a male person was ranting and raving that it was our fault because we didn't mark the boxes correctly. This was nonsense as when they turned up to collect our furniture they forgot to bring the labels. A few days later they turned up with our missing boxes but no apology. I have told two other couples who were moving back to the UK this story and they both went elsewhere?

Having read comments a lot of our work is by recommendation may be this is why we are still trading after 20 yrs and growing.

Cannot fault this company, we used them 4yrs ago wgen we moved to Quesada from the uk, nothing lost, nothing broken, a first class service, sorry your experience was not the same, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them again 1st class!
