WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
There is a reason why Lockwell do not have any reviews on Google. This was a red flag and I should have trusted my gut.
We chose Lockwell because they promised an end-to-end managed relocation with excellent communication. Unfortunately, once we had paid, communication became almost non-existent.

When you're moving your entire life internationally, you need a removal company that is responsive. Instead, emails went unanswered, phone calls weren't returned, and we constantly had to chase for updates. Even when urgent issues arose, there was little sense of ownership or proactive communication, which ultimately resulted in avoidable delays and additional costs.

When things go wrong, their sales people and directors hide behind switchboards, emails and what's app. Despite trying to call the company over 40 times and sending multiple emails, we have not received a call back or reply via email.

One final observation: I've noticed Lockwell responding publicly to other negative reviews with their version of events. As review platforms don't allow reviewers to respond to those replies, prospective customers only see one side of the story. I would encourage anyone considering Lockwell to look at the overall pattern of reviews and make their own judgement.

Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Lockwell for an international relocation. The worst organisation i've ever dealt with,.

We recently used Lockwell for our house move and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

We had only two weeks’ notice and a very uncertain moving timeline, which was incredibly stressful, but [Name removed by Sirelo] was so calming, knowledgeable and helpful on the phone. He made everything feel manageable and easy, even when we only had a few days’ notice of the confirmed moving date.

[Name removed by Sirelo] was fantastic too. He led the packing the day before the move and was thoughtful throughout — even making sure our beds were left out for us overnight. On moving day, the whole team was super efficient and professional. Everything was transported carefully and arrived in great condition, completely without drama.

What stood out was how much they recognised that this was a big and emotional day for our family, and they treated it that way. They genuinely helped make a very stressful experience feel smooth and special.

We would 100% use them again and would wholeheartedly recommend them.Read more

I dealt with [Name removed by Sirelo] with my move to Bendigo (Australia) from London and he was very professional and organised the whole way through. The whole process was seamless, there were no surprises or hidden fees. My shipping arrived with absolutely no issues or anything broken and the fees were completely reasonable. 10/10 experience

Lockwell recently moved me and my family from Ilford to Dubai, and the whole experience was excellent. We used their shared container service for our 2-bedroom home, and they offered us a brilliant price—much cheaper than booking a full 20ft container.

The packing team in the UK were professional, careful, and very attentive. When our shipment arrived in Dubai, our new home wasn’t ready yet, but Lockwell stored our belongings free of charge for a month, which was a huge relief.

Delivery in Dubai was handled by their local team, and there were even more guys helping compared to the UK. Everything arrived safe and sound. They unpacked, reassembled our furniture, and took away all the rubbish, making the whole process effortless.

Fantastic service overall—on time, great communication, and completely stress-free. Highly recommended!

Everything with my shipment to UAE went smoothly, any delays that occurred were clearly communicated and genuinely beyond their control.

They always responded to my calls and emails within a reasonable amount of time.

Nothing was mishandled, and everything arrived well packed.

My experience with Lockwell International was completely positive and very different from some of the negative reviews I’ve seen here.

Their professionalism and reliability really stood out, and the whole experience gave me confidence in their service.
