1 Gurjeet  · Terrible customer service, they are not sure what they are doing. Every time you call, they have a different excuse.
5 Mandy  · Awesome service, one time as scheduled no issue at all.
1 Nick S.  · My parcel has sat in the Dubbo depot for over 10 days and after 2 phone calls I have still not received it.
1 Samuel Nolan  · Incompetent, lying clowns. Promised shipment was onboard for delivery 4 days in a row and received nothing. Looking forward to them going into receivership.
1 Mariia Gabriel  · Would have no stars but at least you can get a human on the phone that tells you all the excuses of why the delivery hasn't happened.
1 Anne  · Been waiting for the whole 10hour window at home, only to not get a delivery.

Absolutely incompetent & I assume lying driver. I live in a standard suburb with mostly houses & townhouses. No apartment buildings or confusing streetscapes & yet this incompetent driver couldnt locate my address? If he can drive around the depot surely he can drive around other similar & likely less chaotic suburbs. Sounds like he faked the… Read more

inability to find address & never showed after waiting around all day to sign! Allied also claimed initially they did not have my parcel when in fact they did & it wasnt until I complained that it suddenly scanned. They must use the laziest most incompetent drivers & bunnings will lose me as a customer due to them using allied! You try & do right supporting AU local businesses but the service is pathetic. No wonder USA & China are taking over industries!

poor customer service, little to no care of items collected or even being collected. had multiple damaged items arrive to customers. have had drivers tell me not to book on Fridays as they don't like to work hard on Fridays. when phoned to complain about items not collected the driver says he's to busy and won't be coming to do the pick up. terrible service. Show details

It is only 8 hours between Brisbane and Rockhampton. My parcel was apparently sent from Brisbane on the 21st of August, it is now the 2nd of September and there is still no sign of my package. I guess it's time to see what can be done legally. Show details

How could you leave it in that condition? – Ordered a pull up bar for my son’s birthday on 2nd Jan. Sat in depot from 5th Jan until 17th Jan after me calling daily to ask when I can expect delivery, this is how it arrived . It was dragged out of the truck knocking over my pot plants on the way because I am left with drag marks across my outdoor tiles and then left in this condition (see… Read more

photos, hopefully I can attach to this review ) Is this honestly acceptable? Even took a photo of it as POD and uploaded onto their website. Seriously unacceptable. I’m supposed to surprise my son with this piece of damaged goods?

This has been a terrible experience regarding my parcel, which I was informed had allegedly been disposed of. I was told by the sender that one item inside the parcel had leaked during transit, however the entire parcel was destroyed without my authorisation or consent. What is most concerning is that no one is able to provide proof of… Read more

destruction, disposal documentation, warehouse records, or any evidence showing who actually authorised this decision. Despite multiple communications, no party has accepted responsibility, and I still do not know whether my parcel was lost, destroyed, or is possibly still being held in the warehouse.

The tracking status on the website also does not indicate that the parcel was destroyed, which gives me reasonable grounds to question what has actually happened to my goods.

At this stage, my parcel is simply gone and nobody is taking responsibility for it. I genuinely do not know what else I am supposed to do.

A very disappointing and stressful experience overall. If you are a sender or receiver using this service, I sincerely hope you never have to deal with a situation like this.

This review is a review about the drivers allied express use not the company even though the drivers are a reflection of the company. Sitting eating my lunch 5mts from the gate, when l get a message AN ATTEMPT TO DELIVER, l view camera footage, driver pulls up to property checks the driveway gates, gets back into van drives off, l deliberately… Read more

left the pedestrian gate open so he could come to the door, notification said a card was left, well no it was not because the mail box is next to the open gate, if you say an attempt was made to deliver YOU REALLY HAVE TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT,

Relieved and pleased! After reading all the negative 1 star reviews I was extremely nervous as allied express was to deliver my couch order. I wasn’t home at the time but I arrived and raced around the complex looking for the apparently delivered boxes only to find them in perfect condition up on my apartments level right next to my front door!… Read more

What a legend! Super fast delivery too so can’t complain however on the tracking it seems my couch went from NSW to VIC back to NSW and then back to me in VIC in the span of a couple days (perhaps a system error) but honestly very very happy!! Thanks team :) oh and I received messages along the way updating me on where and when of it all which was great!

Need a no star option. Lost my order and were not even looking for it. The item I purchased was 9 days over the estimated delivery date so I called Allied Express and provided the tracking number. They confirmed what I could already see on their tracking website, that the item was scanned into their depot 16 day before and had not moved since.… Read more

They told me they would start an investigation. I asked why they had not already started one as surely they can see, or run reports on, undelivered items. They said yes, they do run daily reports that show items that have not been scanned out or in to depots or delivered. I asked why then do they wait for the receiver to enquire before starting an investigation? The answer was basically 'we can't be bothered'. That it's just easier to wait for the receiver to let them know then manage the item. But that's the job isn't it? Freight logistics. Managing the items you are entrusted to deliver. What an appalling business behavior. 9 days past delivery, they know it hasn't been delivered but do nothing. If the business you are considering buying from uses Allied Express, look elsewhere.

On my Temple and webster order delivered last week, the item was arrived with torn, crushed, and wet packaging; contents were exposed (see photos). The assembly manual was missing, so I can’t confirm all parts or complete assembly. It’s clear no care was taken: the carton was poorly taped over tears, no waterproof protection, and left upright against a wall in the weather. Worst delivery I have ever seen. Show details

Allied Express collected a 60kg parcel from my home. Once the carton was outside, the driver had me help him pick it up and carry it over my courtyard wall. I dropped it because it was too heavy and awkward, hurting my neck and shoulders. I am a… Read more

small 62yo woman. The driver could have used his hydraulic lifter but chose to move the parcel to the lifter. This occurred in March this year (2026). I wrote to Allied Express because of my injury and the Industry Standards not being practiced. They ignored me. I even sent emails to their customer service information account and they replied that the email is not monitored (???)

 Follow-up  · After several attempts to warn Allied Express of -some of- their drivers breaching OHW&S laws, I still never heard back from them. I was injured after having to help lift my 60kg+ carton over a metre high wall.

Allied Express delivered a pallet of packages to my address yesterday, my partner was home at the time. The driver told her he had a pallet for delivery, when he placed it in the front yard my partner looked over the pallet and told the driver only… Read more

one package was for her partner. The driver was going to leave but she insisted that only one parcel was addressed here and All the others were for other customers. He rang his head office and was told to take them all back to the depot. As it was too heavy for him to reload by himself he looked at my partner a woman in her mid sixties and said in a stern voice ‘ you help ‘ so she did. Allied Express clearly have no regard for OH& S and their drivers lack training in basic OH& S practices. My package is now at Kingaroy an hour and a half from here and will not be delivered until next week. Very poor service and I have made a formal complaint and requested a call from Allied Expesses WH&S representative.

 Follow-up  · I have had no response whatsoever from Allied Express. Discussed.

I had an Allied delivery from Amazon. The driver was superb, and nothing was too much trouble for him. I defy anyone to provide better service. I've since had communications with their office which I can describe in one word ... outstanding. Show details

They (Adairs and Allied Express) were brilliant from the start to finish. Adairs processed my order on the same day and two bulk items arrived from Victoria to Brisbane in less than 48 hours transported by Allied Express. I wasn't expecting this fast as the weather was pretty wet. Very happy. Thank you. Show details

If you buy things from Kogan/Dick Smith, make sure you input the right address, otherwise it would take it forever to get the system updated, Allied Express is their freight service provider, it has sent to the wrong address twice (took 2 weeks to finally deliver to the updated address). Then I realise there are 2 parts for the delivery, but they… Read more

only delivered one part. It took me one week to message Dick Smith and phoned Allied Express up, but they are still investigating on the matter. You missed one part of the product, you should action it quickly to deliver it again. I don't understand why it would take that long to investigate this matter. Now I still can not assemble this product so I have to commute to work everyday.

Package from StreetFX Darra monday august 3. Not picked up (8kms) until wednesday august 5 ?? Paid $60.00 freight and still don't have my item august 7...many consumers complain about this courier.

unresponsive customer service. Customer Feedback Most reviews indicate significant issues with delivery reliability. Customers report packages arriving late, sometimes weeks past the estimated delivery date, or not arriving at all. Tracking information is often described as confusing or inaccurate, with items showing as delivered or in transit when they are not, causing frustration and wasted time for recipients (ProductReview.com.au, Trustpilot, Whirlpool forums)

Had this courier booked via decorug to pick a defective rug The rug was labelled and within the garage - when he finally turned up he decided he no longer wanted to take the rug as it wasn’t wrapped ( I wasn’t told to wrap it and so it was rolled, taped and labelled I asked my child to quickly help wrapping the large 330x250 wool rug and even… Read more

though I have a recently operated arm I had to wrap this rug- he then decided he didn’t want to come into the garage in order to lift the rug into the truck and told me to do it!! I then informed him I will not lift the rug and he refused to load it, drove off and left the rug in situ! I contacted allies who apologised and rebooked with another driver and gave instruction to come into the garage and load the item ….. when the driver finally turned up, he didn’t even ask wedge me, just instructed me AGAIN to take the rug to him to which I refused and told him he was INSTRUCTED TO COME INTO MY GARAGE AND TAKE THE RUG- and again he then threatened to not do the pick up and go, I then told him he is on cctv and everything is recorded and my husband was watching via his place of work in the doorbell camera! I told him one more time to load the rug and informed him I would be making a formal. Complaint and he should lose his job along with his mate from the day before to which he then stated he would DUMP my rug on the way …. Finally he left and I can honestly say this had been the very very worst experience I’ve ever had to endure and I’ve made a phone call to the business stating the situation along with decorug !! I will never accept another item.From allied express

Delivery personnel left my parcel at PO box without trying my delivery address first today. They just claimed there was "no one in attendance" today at 2:38pm. That's a lie. Not only was I home at the time, but there was a construction crew working at my house. Builders were coming in and out and my front door was wide open. Why, Allied Express? I'm willing to confront your delivery man. Why did they lie about not making contact with me? Show details

Another courier company that shouldnt be in business. Im currently on day 17 of my parcel being late, no-one can tell me where it is, I dont know how they can lose a queen size mattress but they have indeed managed, very disappointed. One positive is they are quick to message me back atleast even if its just to tell me they dont know where it is or an ETA. Zero stars. Show details

I am very disappointed with the service. This is the second time we have experienced problems with this courier. The driver refused to deliver our parcel to our Level 1 premises, even though the products were very light and easy to carry. Instead of being helpful, the driver was rude and unwilling to assist. The tracking information originally… Read more

stated that delivery would occur on Friday, but early on Thursday the delivery date was changed to Thursday without any notification. When we checked the tracking, it showed there was a delivery issue. We contacted customer service to find out what had happened, but they were unhelpful and simply told us we would need to pay for a redelivery. They made no genuine effort to resolve the problem.

Both the driver's attitude and the customer service we received were disappointing. A courier service should be reliable, communicate delivery changes clearly, and work with customers to resolve issues rather than creating additional inconvenience and costs.

Unfortunately, based on our repeated experience, I cannot recommend this service.
