I’m not actually sure where to start… Wow
I’m not actually sure where to start with this, from the very first contact we made with Vicuna when Jamie the owner called to ask how he could help, to him personally handing over Brody to us out in the USA, I can say it has been a privilege to have found them. Moving your family, their belongings, memories and your precious dog from one side of the world to the other was always going to have its challenges, working with Jamie and his team has been one of the experiences that has made this whole process worthwhile. Much like most prospective clients, we spent hours searching the internet for reviews, photos and companies seeking reassurance of how they would safely transport Brody out to the USA, we never felt safe him travelling in the hold of a commercial airline and that is where Vicuna come into their own. We tried to engage with all of the competitors in this industry, and many are very good at what they do, however when your leaving your dog in the hands of someone, you don’t want to just fill out forms and send them to an invisible person at the opposite end of an email address. This is were Vicuna are different, the team here at Vicuna are real people, they respond immediately to any question and usually this will be via Jamie the owner. They want to understand everything so that the service they provide is the very best, and that is what they do. We were actually already here in the USA when Brody left the Uk, we live in the North East of England and so our parents drove Brody down to Stansted to hand him to the team. Even this experience was made to be special, our parents were invited into the Harrods private terminal, they met the other passengers and the animals were all able to meet each other ready for their transatlantic flight. Once on the flight, I was kept regularly updated with what’s app messages and photos from the team, and we felt like we were part of the journey, seeing Brody settled and relaxed was just the most reassuring highlight and we could relax safe in the knowledge he was being taken care of. Once he arrived Seth and Jamie brought him from the plane to lots of excitement and told us how he had been, and spent important time talking about their journey. This whole experience was very human and I believe is what makes them stand out in this industry. Even now over 4 weeks later I still share messages with Jamie. A superb business, lovely genuine people and an experience that will always stand out in our relocation journey and allowing our dog to join us. To Jamie, Seth and everyone at Vicuna a huge thank you and we look forward to one day using you again.
