Allied Pickford the movers from Hell

Advantages: They really like to take your money and then not deliver
Disadvantages: Unprofessional, overpriced, late and don't take your thoughts into consideration

We used Allied Pickford to move from NZ to Canada. This is our 3rd international move, and we had never considered using Allied Pickfords in the past. 1st of all our sea container mysteriously ended up in Singapore. It showed up over 4 weeks late. We were told our sea can would be taken from our residence in NZ and delived to our residence in Canada. The office in Vancouver decided for us that they weren't going to honour that. Half way through the ...
...moving van. Which just exposes our furniture to more scratches and nicks. We found the person handling our move in both NZ and Vancovuer to be very inconsiderate and basically lied to us. We would recommend anyone other than Allied Pickford. They are very unprofessional. ...

Allied Pickfords - the careless movers

Advantages: Same company at both ends
Disadvantages: Large organisation - chaotic

I used Allied Pickfords to move my houshold belongings from Australia to the UK. The price quoted by Pickfords Australia was not the cheapest, but I choosed them because they would be the same company at both ends, and I thought Pickfords are 'careful movers'. (I had a quotation from an Australian company for less money, and for a full container.) After my belongings were taken away in Australia, I had a call from the salesmen for more money, because ...
...that the removal men from Allied Pickfords UK were not equipped with any wheel barrels or trolleys. They had to carry each box by hand, including a very large fridge/freezer and the washing machine. The piano could not be delivered, and was taken back to base. The delivery took nearly 6 hours, and it should have been at halved that time. I felt sorry for the delivery men, as they had to work without any 'tools of the trade'. Two of my boxes were ...

Do not use Allied Pickford

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Competence of people that pack your goods is abysmal

...to the U.S & used Allied Pickford. We had just been married six months prior & had substantial delicate wedding gifts. We chose Allied even though it was more expensive as we wrongly believed they would be the most capable in moving our things. We couldn't have been more wrong. The way they packed our items was shocking, to the point, where the Allied unpackers in the U.S asked us whether we had our packed the things ourselves because they had never ...
...of each other at the bottom of the box. It is that shocking that we're considering seeking legal advice as this is nothing short of complete negligence. It was heartbreaking for us to see all our wedding gifts smashed. I would never ever use Allied Pickford again. You've been warned..... ...

The worst removalists in the world!

Advantages: Absolutely none
Disadvantages: Breakages, losses, damage to house and no customer support,

...from Melbourne to Sydney with Allied Pickfords Australia and it has been a decision for which I have consdierable regret. It all started so well. Their sales rep was good at her job and even though they were slightly more expensive than another quote we decided to put our trust in them. From this point if went downhill. I was amazed at the lack of respect their "packers" had with our personal posessions. After remonstrating with them I felt they ...
...house was also damaged by Allied Pickfords! Doorways were damaged and wooden floors scraped due to their lack of care when shifting furniture. It gets worse... After enquiring about being overcharged by $400 (for a second container which was never used) I am yet to get a refund. Even after 7 phone calls and 5 emails to a completely unskilled, incompetent and unmotivtaed individual in their "customer service" area. Goods were left in Melbourne - ...

Quick review of Allied Pickfords

I moved overseas with Pickfords from Edinburgh to USA, the move was perfect from start to finish, it was a company relocation and we had to have 3 quotes the representative who visited with us was a fountain of knowledge, we chose not based on cost but service, the move coordinator in the office was first class, she spent time explaining the paperwork, insurance and destination services then when we arrived in the US we were contacted by Allied again and all explained, they cleared our goods at customs and delivered everything intact. I could not rate them any higher - They made a stressful live changing move enjoyable and I do not think you can rate them higher than that!! ...

Review of Pickfords International

This is turning into a nightmare...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Cowboys. STay well clear!

We had moved from AUstralia to the Uk a few years ago with Allied Pickfords. It wen tokay, so we selected Pickfords for our removal back home, even though they were slightly more expensive than others. Packers arrived late and kept on wandering off for breaks: 2 1/2 hours of breaks on a 7 1/2 working day. Team leader spent another 2 hours or so texting! Packing was done without any care or thinking- ragile items practically thrown into boxes, no consideration to space (we pay by volume!) Packers too lazy to inspect items closely at beginning. When everything was packed, team leader showved packing list into our face, claimed to be in a hurry and urged us to sign quickly - when we noticed that he had marked everything that is valuable as 'marked & scratched'!!! Most of the items he hadn't even seen. All items were absolutely as new ...
