My experience of Chudleys can only be described as a total disaster. Chudleys was supposed to collect the entirety of my personal possessions from a storage unit in the UK, export wrap & load into a container & ship via tanker to Cyprus. Chudleys were instructed by Peter Mortons the middle of JULY 2020. I was advised that my possessions were in container number****.
Which would arrive in limossol 30th August. By the first week of September I had heard nothing. Contacted Mortons who told me they would check with the UK & get back to me. Emails flew backwards & forwards. Go figure. More emails & I was informed on 11th September by Mortons " unfortunately your items have only just been loaded for shipment ( Chudleys & Morton's work hand in hand) your container will arrive on 6th October" Eventually it was discovered my possessions were in Chudleys storage unit in the UK.
My possessions were finally loaded on 22nd September. Two & half months after I'd accepted the quote of just over E5000 to export my goods. Please note I had taken out Marine insurance yet was not been given my certificate. On 2nd October I received an email stating " notification had been received of my consignment vessel due to dock 7th October.
Please note 7 of your boxes did not fit in container & are on next arrival" I was devastated. I had moved into a new home on 2nd September with none of my things. The contents of my three bedroom house in the UK. On the 4th October I received a phone call from Mark Chudley. Apologising & he informed me that he has reduced his costs by 500. I received part of my things on the 9th October.
Broken items, slashes on the bottom of my sofa's. Squashed boxes. Nothing had been export wrapped. Chudleys men had simply removed my things from storage unit in the UK. Owner of said storage company stated that he had personally reported to Mark Chudley that Chudleys showed no respect for my goods. I have emails stating conversation between Chudleys & the storage company.
My headboard was broken. As was antique China, glasses, vases, plates, cups and saucers. Wooden box was damaged. Everything was still in the original packing boxes. Chudleys had not export wrapped anything. Beware. I was then informed on 14th October that another container containing my remaining god's would arrive into port on 21st October. Then I was emailed to say that my goods would arrive on the 28th October.
My things arrived finally on the 3rd November again broken items. And loads missing and I mean loads. Jelly moulds. Cake tins, kitchen blow torch. Steps. Children boxes and boxes of toys. 2 plastic boxes containing my perfume, strange because a few bottles has actually arrive, one of them was empty. A toaster. Crystal lamp, it's partner had arrived.
Electric carving knife. 2 CD racks. Pictures which my children had done which were in a cardboard roll with plastic ends. Roll arrived no plastic ends & no pictures. 1 Evening dress & bolero. I silk skirt. 5 Feather & Duck pillows. Baking Trays. Cold box. China Gravy boat. Metal bucket. 6 photo albums of my children as babies. The list is endless.
My insurance was invalid as my goods had been on 5 different tankers. My things had been to Palestine Egypt etc. Chudleys refuses to answer me & Morton's told me not to pay my invoice " that should cover your losses and don't contact us again" I have that email plus the one from Chudleys telling me as a third party they don't have to answer any of my issues.
I would never recommend Chudleys. I do have photos of said damage but unfortunately I am having problems posting them. I didn't want to award any stars but unfortunately I can't post my review unless I give at least one reluctant star.

What a fantastic service we had from Chudley moving and shipping. Right from the video call to talk us through the process with Mark Chudley and then the two days packing and loading the shipping container to move our furniture and car to Cyprus. We had such a laugh with Curly and Mark and they did an excellent job of packing everything securely. and it all arrived safely today.
I would thoroughly recommend this company for moving anywhere, home or abroad. Mark gave us great advice and everything happened as he described. They all made the moving process stress free and enjoyable.

Inspite of the office not following up with any form of communication and not being able to deliver my kit in less than 14 days of it arriving. The actual guys delivering my kit did a fantastic job and saved Chudley from an even worse review. Your guys on the ground and customer facing are doing a fantastic job. The office is letting them down.

We left Cyprus using Peter Morton Removals and their counterparts in the UK are Chudley International. I would very highly recommend both companies. There staff are all highly trained, courteous and know how to pack goods so there are absolutely no breakages. If I were to move again - which I don't plan on - I would certainly contact Chudley International. A big thank you to Jason and Brian they were great. Glad you enjoyed the tea and toast xxx

From the first initial contact with Mark Chudley to the team arriving and packing up our worldly goods for shipping to Cyprus, we could not have been in better hands. They, together with their Cypriot partner, Peter Morton Removals, went above and beyond in their duty. Moving is a very stressful time, moving to another country is twice as stressful, nothing was too much trouble and I continue to recommend the business to all and sundry.

We would totally recommend Chudley’s and would like to thank all the staff especially Becky for all the planning, And Mark and Alan who came to pack and load all our belongings I must say they are a credit to your company what a pleasure it was to have them both in my home at which has to be one of the most stressful times moving overseas especially with my husband working away they were so calm helpful and polite and very professional and made the whole experience a breeze. Thank you all once again

We have just put the full contents of our house into storage and the service from Chudley’s was incredible. Shoes always taken off, floors protected, furniture well packed they even custom made a crate for the television to fully protect it. Both chaps were polite, courteous, cheerful and very helpful. We would highly recommend this company.

I have used Chudleys for 3 separate shipments now from U.K. to cyprus. I have dealt with three different sets of removal men who have all be excellent in their packing skills as well as friendly and polite. Emails are answered quickly and I was kept informed off shipment and delivery dates right the way through. All my belongings arrived safely and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company.

The guys did an awsome job they were very proffetional. After meeting them we had no worries about them packing the contents of our home. They had a great sense of humour which made us relax during what can be such a stressful time. Moving home is bad enough but moving to another country is a nightmare. We would like to say a massive thanks to Darren, Mark and Mark aka Gloria.
We would not hesitate in recommending your company many thanks. Kev and JaX aka Potty mouth - Rottweiler. All the very best to you all. Oh and I hope that from now on Mark will be known as Gloria

Moving abroad can be stressful... not with these guys!! Richard and Darren have been here a day and a half doing amazingly! Didnt realise packing could be so much fun, even my teenage daughters are enjoying what could be considered a sad time! Container arrived early, so did reinforcements....bacon butties will be supplied later! Thank you so much for the fun and extremely professional job guys.

I must say it was overwhelming with all the different companies out there and I must say my family and I was so stressed over the move and thought our move was complicated. Called the office and the staff are all so lovely and booked Mark to come see us as soon as possible for a free quote and everything was explained to us while he was there, we left everything in their hands and couldn't be more happier about the move, would recommend them to our family and friends

We chose Chudley Moving & Shipping after obtaining quotes from & speaking with a number of companies who provide shipping services. Chudley were very competitively priced, even though they are based 200 miles from where we were, but more importantly for us, we had faith in their ability to successfully pack up the contents of our house and ship them and our car & motorbike to Cyprus.
Before the move date Mark & Becky provided endless advice & support particularly regarding what we needed to do in relation to importing the vehicles into Cyprus. They also were not fazed by the number of times we altered what we were shipping! On the day of the house pack up, we didn’t have to do a thing, Jason & Aaron were brilliant!
They just got on with it; they are both very helpful and professional, a real credit to Chudley. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a company to help with a house move choose Chudley. Many thanks again to all the team, you are awesome!
