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
Trash service, hardly no updates, call and can not get a straight answer, 8 days over due so far, it's a shame I can't give them no stars for service and communication Show details

Poor communication, driver doesn’t give a d#mn about your delivery, I got my brand new tv damaged, one of the worst service 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 driver does not know how to give away he cut me off at a intersection and then stuck his finger up at me Show details
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 is the Best approachable customer service from many couriers. I am a business. I was out yesterday. Tracking shows they tried to deliver. I called the toll free number. A polite person answered the phone promptly. Not many take calls these… Read more
days. Allied actually listen and gave me information after checking status. Goods arrived today as I was told. Allied is reliable. It is not their fault if client is not there but they do help. I have found Allied has excellent Customer Service and Drivers. They track parcels really well.

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.

Allied Express delivered my parcel earlier than expected the driver was courteous and had no issues with any part of the process, my package had 3 parts all delivered with no damage. Would recommend them for parcel delivery 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
Allied express delivered my three items from Amazon today and the delivery man was exceptionally polite and helpful. Earlier today I was concerned about my order not arriving in time so I lodged a query. In record time I was emailed by customer service assuring me my items were out for delivery. Professional, polite and very helpful Show details
Negative reviews
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
1/7/26 arrived, failed to deliver. I called and arranged re-delivery and was promised 06/07/26. Left gate open, as requested and gave phone number, to which I was promised a call by driver. NO call, no promised delivery - HOPELESS SERVICE 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.

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

Very poor delivery experience. The driver had lifting equipment available but still postponed the delivery, stating that he needed additional help. On a previous delivery, another driver left a very heavy item on the sidewalk and did not place it in the nearest accessible location to the house. I'm not sure what the delivery fee is for if I am… Read more
expected to help unload the item and move it closer to the property myself. This level of service is very disappointing.
This is not a reliable company. Waiting for an item to be collected - told only it would be between 9-5. Whilst this is understandable a week or even a day prior - there is no reason they can't do what their competitors do and narrow that down further on the day, even a ball park idea is better than "9-5". However the courier came, and of course… Read more
when not home. The courier was sketchy. Touching our property and trying to cover the camera on the door bell. He rang once and 10 seconds later was gone. Had to reschedule the next day. Again told between 9-5. Called the company up to find out how long it would be - was told they would call the driver, then told they couldn't get through to him. Said if we needed to leave we could leave it outside for him to collect. Utter morons. Terrible way of doing business. I assume they stay in business as the people on the receiving end who have to deal with their unprofessionalism are not the ones who made the booking with them. But this is a business best avoided.
Allied Express allocated a 2 person lifting job to 1 person. He arrived expecting me to help him carry the very large and heavy package. Because I couldn't help (I'm over 65 with back issues) he dumped the package on common property driveway of a set of units, not in my home or on my property. The package was dumped where other cars were parked… Read more
and in the direct way of other residents' cars. I had to frantically organise people to come and help and had to pay someone to move the package. Tried to get a refund but it was refused because the package was delivered.
Never received the sms that the parcel was onboard the day of delivery. Not Allied Express's fault that the retailer sent the wrong item. Totally Allied Express's fault that on the day it was booked to be picked up, no show - no communication at all, just rocked up the next day with absolutely no communication, confirmation that pickup was… Read more
possible. The phonecall that I made was answered by unhelpful uncaring staff. I will now go out of my way to confirm that any purchase I now make that I never again have to deal with Allied Express.
Ordered a heavy piece of fitness equipment from Amazon on Thursday. It was picked up by Allied Express the next day and entered into their depot. It was delivered on Monday. The delivery guy was super polite and even brought it into my hallway using his trolley. I also received a text message from them when the item was entered into their depot… Read more
and another on the morning advising me of delivery that day. Excellent service and I honestly could not fault them. I was fortunate that my item was in the same city as me which probably made things faster.
I can't honestly understand why companies even use these so called reliable couriers. I had a delivery supposedly due for delivery over a week ago and am still waiting for another scan. I am disgusted by the unreliability of this company with it's lack of updates and lateness of delivery. The reviews on here speak volumes! Show details
Item was picked up scanned in but after that no tracking. Can’t find in warehouse still awaiting outcome to where it is. Sent before easter. Was told when called send an enquiry to raise and if lost they will reimburse or replace. Let’s see what happens. Absolutely disappointing as product is of value Show details
I recently had the absolute pleasure (and by pleasure, I mean prolonged confusion and mild rage) of dealing with Allied Express… and wow, what an experience. If you’re looking for a delivery service that operates on a completely different concept of time—one where schedules are more of a suggestion than a commitment—then you’ve hit the jackpot.… Read more
Pickup times? Flexible. Updates? Non-existent. Communication? A distant myth.
We were waiting for a washing machine pickup, which apparently required us to develop psychic abilities because there was zero contact from Allied Express. No call, no message, no “hey, we’re running late,” nothing. Just vibes.
At one point I genuinely wondered if the booking had been sent via carrier pigeon and it just… never made it.
Customer service was equally impressive—in that it felt like shouting into the void and hoping for emotional closure.
All in all, if your goal is to test your patience, question your life choices, and form a deep emotional bond with an unmoving package, Allied Express will absolutely deliver (just not your actual item).
Would not recommend unless you enjoy chaos and unanswered questions.
