Πέντε αστερια είναι πολύ λίγα κοπελιά!! 😉🤗!Και η ιστορία μας ξεκίνησε κάπως έτσι… (Αυτό που θα γράψω δεν είναι review είναι μια πραγματική ιστορία με ανθρώπους που στάθηκαν δίπλα μας με εμπιστοσύνη και ειλικρίνεια στο πιο τεράστιο βήμα της ζωής μας, στον επαναπατρισμό μας. )
Ξεκινώντας λοιπόν από τον Καναδά μετά από 12 χρόνια στην ξενιτιά αποφασίσαμε να έρθουμε στην Ελλάδα το Μάιο του 2025. Βρήκαμε την Καναδική μεταφορική εταιρία και αυτή μας συνέδεσε με την Safeway transport … και εκεί γνωρίσαμε την [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo]. Το πρώτο e-mail που έλαβα από την [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] είχε όλα τα χαρακτηριστικά της Καναδικής ευγενείας σε συνδυασμό με την ελληνική ειλικρίνεια. Λέω Καναδικής ευγενείας γιατί στον Καναδά είμαστε όλο «εγώ ευχαριστώ» και «εγώ ζήτω συγνώμη». Στην Ελλάδα οι άνθρωποι όταν το λένε το εννοούν πραγματικά ομως ! Στην δική μας ιστορία μόνο ευχαριστώ όχι συγνώμη.
Η [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] λοιπόν πέρα από το ότι είναι ένα υπέροχο κορίτσι με μπλε ματιά και αληθινό χαμόγελο είναι και πάρα πολύ καλή στη δουλειά της. Πολύ επαγγελματική προσέγγιση, ευγένεια , ήθος, τυπικότητα καμιά, και πάνω απ όλα ειλικρίνεια.
Ένιωσα την φωνή της να μπαίνει μέσα στο κοντέινερ που ξεκίνησε από το σπίτι μου στον Καναδά Πρωταπριλιά και να φτάνει αυτή η γλυκιά φωνούλα μέχρι σήμερα το πρωί στο σπίτι μου στα Χανιά της Κρήτης που είναι η επόμενη μέρα από την παράδοση των πραγμάτων μας. Όλος ο σχεδιασμός αυτού του τεράστιου ονείρου ξεκίνησε από τις αρχές του Σεπτεμβρη από εμας μέχρι και τις αρχές του Ιούνη. Την [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] τη γνωρίσαμε κοντά στον Μαρτη νομίζω .Η ΑΨΟΓΗ!! Κατ’ επέκταση η Safeway Transport ξέρει να διαλέγει τα καλύτερα άτομα για το προσωπικό της που θα την αντιπροσωπεύσουν στο έπακρο!
Συνεργάστηκε άψογα με την Καναδική μεταφορική εταιρία και μας βρήκε τα καλύτερα παιδιά για να μας φέρουνε τα πράγματα μας στα όμορφα Χανιά. Επίσης ανέλαβε τον εκτελωνισμό των πραγμάτων στο λιμάνι του Ηρακλείου. Η [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] νομίζω ότι ξέρει να μιλάει και ελληνικά και αγγλικά and the port language πάντα με ευγένεια και γλυκό ύφος . Γι’ αυτό και όλα πήγαν τέλεια από κάθε άποψη. Να ευχαριστήσουμε λοιπόν θερμά εγώ και ο σύζυγός μου Δημήτρης την Safeway transport αρχικά , την [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo]και την παρέα της. Και να κάνω μία τελευταία αναφορά στον κύριο [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] ( μεταφορική Ακρωτήρι) με τον εργοδηγό του κύριο [Το όνομα αφαιρέθηκε από τον Sirelo] και τον συντονιστή Αντυ και την παρέα τους (6 άτομα συνολικά). Πολύ φιλότιμα και πολύ δυνατά παιδιά …δούλεψαν ακούραστα και με το χαμόγελο στα χείλη από το πρωί μέχρι το βράδυ στο σπίτι μου. Παιδιά, ο Θεός βλέπει τα πάντα κι εύχομαι να σας έχει όλους καλά και ευχηθείτε μου κι εμένα καλή αρχή πίσω στην πατρίδα με την οικογένεια μου .

My experience with them has been nothing short of a nightmare. Initially, they seemed professional, but things took a turn for the worse after I made the first payment.

Here’s what happened: after paying half of the invoice, they picked up my order but then sent a revised invoice including VAT, which was not mentioned in the initial invoice. They tried to claim that I was avoiding paying VAT, despite the fact that I had requested a detailed invoice upfront to ensure transparency before proceeding.

Their business practices are highly unprofessional and deceptive. It became clear that they are more interested in exploiting their customers rather than providing a reliable service. If you’re considering moving or relocating, avoid Warning at all costs. There are many other transport companies with better integrity and customer service. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with our services.
I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that VAT is obligatory across all European countries, including Greece. As you have been residing in Greece and possess a Greek VAT number, this should be familiar territory. Furthermore, our Order for Services form, which you signed to secure your booking, clearly stated, and indicated that VAT would be applicable. We believe this ensures transparency and prevents any misunderstandings regarding the final cost of our services plus government tax which cannot be avoided, therefore, your description of us being deceptive is out of place. We have confirmation from our partner in GERMANY that the delivery of your goods took place and everything was fine. We value your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future under more favorable circumstances.

The packing of my shipment was done by OCS teansport in the UAE. Safeway transport was the transport company in Greece responsible for the final delivery. The company did not fulfill the contract. No opening, unpacking, assembling of furniture and removal of packing material. This was stipulated in the contract in the UAE.
Safeway sent 2 older men to offload a 20ft container. They were tired and did not offload all the boxes. I had to arrange and pay another transport company to collect the boxes from them and deliver the rest of my furniture and remove the packing material. I received no support and had to open the boxes, unpack, and move furniture myself. Furthermore I had to pay someone to assemble my furniture. I also paid safeway for a handyman but no handiman was supplied. When I complained I was told why am I making such a story out of this by the person handeling my shipment.

Moved from Dubai (United-Arab Emirates) to Corfu (Greece)

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to address the issues you've raised and clarify the terms of our agreement with the booking agent as we did not have any signed agreement directly with you.

First, in terms of not assembling your furniture: our policy clearly states that IKEA furniture assembly is not part of our services. This policy exists due to the unique assembly requirements of IKEA products. This exclusion was outlined in
the contract to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings. Regarding the handyman service, you paid for a 3-hour session, which we refunded upon discovering the task required significantly more time. It is our understanding that you have hired a handyman for 3 days. The extended time was necessary because the furniture needed to be completely disassembled and reassembled in order to fit your narrow window in Corfu old town; a situation that unfortunately extended beyond the scope of what was initially contracted.
Our crew unwrapped and removed a ll debris on the day of the removal. Removal of debris on a second occasion is an additional charge.

We made every effort to fulfill our obligations under the contract we have with our agent in Dubai, which was transparent from the beginning and you are copied in all communication. Our goal is to provide clear and reliable services, and we appreciate your understanding.

This company handled the delivery and unpacking of our household items upon arrival in Greece from the US. They did a fine job, the movers were professional, courteous, and everything worked out perfectly.

Moved from Holbrook (United States) to Corinth (Greece)

Première demande plus économique car je devais assurer l'emballage moi-même, mais impossible à tenir vu le mode de transport retenu (conteneur sur bateau). Ceci a entraîné un décalage de la première date prévue, une prestation supplémentaire pour réaliser l'emballage et une pénalité que je trouve injuste.
Je pense que mon statut d'étranger ne parlant pas grec et pas trop bien anglais m'a desservi, et en cela je suis assez déçu. Par ailleurs le prix qui approche au final 10.000 euros me paraît très élevé, notamment en regard de ce que j'avais payé dans l'autre sens il y a 5 ans. C'est pourquoi j'ai mis cette note.
