I had excellent service from Kevin at Meadows. And I really gave him a challenge(!!) with my last-minute requests and total ignorance of how to move to a foreign country. Things got complicated on the Portugal/customs side of my move, but Kevin was available to help how he could and it was a real comfort having a moving service I could trust on side.

Meadows International Removals carried my relocation from Edinburgh (UK) to Milan (Italy) on July 2022. I had to move furniture and personal belongings. They have been amazing. Kevin was always available by phone or email to address any concern or request. They arranged my move with just 4-5 days notice and they were also available with a temporary storage service. Also, they were really knowledgeable in relation to the paperwork needed due to brexit (that is making everyone life more complicated). The items arrived all intact and on time and the guy who came with the van was lovely. Thank you very much!

This review is long overdue. I hired Meadows back in November 2020 to assist in shipping my belongings from Scotland to Canada. I really can't thank Kevin and his team enough for their professionalism, care and patience in the process. I was really nervous about my move and about finding a removals company that I could trust. There were no hidden fees, no surprises. Kevin was clear, honest and responsive. You can tell they actually care. I knew what to expect and how to prepare my belongings for the journey. Everything arrived in good condition. Highly recommend their services. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing service! I moved from UK to South Australia. Meadows did a great job from start to finish. Kevin was very friendly and professional and gave us some good advice on what we could and could not take, what needed to be cleaned etc. The packers were really great, working so quickly. In Australia our shipment arrived with in the estimated time and the guys on the other end did a great job delivering and unpacking everything. I would have no hesitation in recommending Meadows international to others.

I've had a great experience with this company. They're incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I was moving back to Canada from Edinburgh and had accumulated 2 years of belongings. Kevin was very helpful in talking me through the process and had offered to wrap up my boxes to ensure their safe arrival. All of my stuff arrived within the allotted time and in excellent condition. Kevin and his wife are very quick to reply to any inquiry or concern and had offered me a very competitive rate. Thank you so much for all your help guys!
