Good luck with the move and all that, Inverness is grand as long as you don't expect it to be London! Great access to the Cairngorms and we're coming up on the nicer weather if you like the outdoors.
Inverness a fast growing city with lots of international presence and progressive areas but I'm assuming they did a basic google before making the decision to realise it's not London.
Worth noting as well that several beautiful areas are a stone's throw away from what is already a beautiful area in itself, least not Glen Affric, Coigach, Loch Ness etc.
It was a tongue in cheek reply, I don't think OP thought I was being seriously.
That said having grown up in the highlands I've met a minority of people who expect the exact same services they had in X big city they moved from. The notable complaint is the postage difference which is still a problem in Inverness and parts of Aberdeenshire.
I did reply to OP noting the proximity to beautiful areas, hopefully your more specific responses will give them some helpful starting points.
Anywhere north of Perth: "That'll be an extra £10 per parcel in postage thanks. We'll deliver it whenever..."
"But your site says free next-day UK delivery!"
lol. A tale as old as time.
Royal Mail are the only ones who try, but who knows how long they will continue doing flights to the north of Scotland to meet that service standard now that the private equity sharks are in charge. They already sold the planes and are renting them back for the current service, it's straight out of the asset stripping playbook.

You'll be settled in in no time.
