Allied Pickfords VIC (page 2 of 4)

Everything went perfectly with our move. Packers did a great job as did the removalists. Nothing broken or scratched. Bed and dresser assembled for us on arrival. Boxes and packaging collected the following week. Highly recommended.

I had the contents of my two bedroom apartment on Level 8 of a Melbourne CBD apartment tower moved to second floor apartment in Nelson Bay in NSW. The pickup and delivery went exactly to schedule with no breakages or damage. The empty boxes were picked up a week after the delivery, and I was glad to see them go. A "no hassle" move.

I had 14 tea chest size boxes going to Hong Kong and was told it would be take 6-10 weeks, with a boat leaving every week. I was the one who had to chase the company down to find out where my boxes were and when they would be delivered. They sat in some disgusting storage facility for 11 weeks before even being put on a boat. I contacted the national freight manager [name removed] who offered my no help and ignored my correspondence. The company claimed it was because they had a few other orders cancelled and couldn't put it on an earlier shipm...

We started using Downard Pickfords in 2004 from Singapore to Melbourne. Then from McKinnon to Warragul, and Warragul to Wyndham Vale Vic. This final move included our car, from Wyndham Vale to Perth WA was of the same excellent service .

I moved from Melbourne to Brisbane using Allied Pickford. Everyone was very nice to deal with and told me how they were different from other removalists as they take care with all their deliveries and since it's their own movers. I did not pay for full coverage insurance as it was a bit more than I could afford but did ensure I insured all of my most important items. I bought boxes from a Fort Knox, a recommended company as many of my friends who have done this move before recommended the quality of the boxes. I waited two weeks for all of my i...

My father recently past so I was given half of the furniture to move from Melbourne to Perth Allied Pickards from the start delivered great customer service, it was affordable too but most of all I knew my valuables that had an emotional attachment to were going to be taken care of throughout transit from Melbourne to Perth. Anything not packed right for the safe delivery they packed it for you. Best service from start to finish. Highly recommended.

(1) We moved from Melbourne to Perth. Our move was kind of extra-large and two 20' containers were not sufficient for the entire shipment to go through. For reasons unknown, the date for the second pick up was changed from Thursday to Friday following day, which did cause us inconvenience because the second container was not enough to hold everything, so another AP crew had to come back on Monday to pick up the remaining 10 cubic metres or so, with repercussions on the bond cleaning, handing over the keys to the agent as well as on the disposal...

I recently utilized Allied Pickfords to relocate from Melbourne to Hong Kong. I found their service to be very poor, and as a result I suffered significant damage to my goods.

For example:

I experienced significant damage to my shipped goods as specified:

1. I was shipping a retro arcade games table. This was meant to be crated. I paid for the crate. When the packers came to my house, they said the crate was not yet built. They said they would transport the table to the depo/office, where it would be crated before shipment. It wa...

I used them on a move from Melbourne to Perth. The guys packing up in Melb were great, and the guys unpacking in Perth were great.. but somewhere in the middle it all went wrong. When the drivers showed up they were the ones left to tell me that only half had of my items had been sent... the rest was still in Melbourne.
It took another month for the rest to arrive.
There was damage to irreplaceable items, family heirlooms, custom furniture from overseas. And there were still boxes missing from the second delivery!
When I took it up with re...

I don't normally write these kinds of reviews but am keen to warn others in this case.

After doing some research and based on the reviews on this site we chose Allied Pickfords for our move (6 Bedrooms with office furniture 15mins north of our location). Initial visit was pleasant and quote was provided for what was to be a single day move for what seemed to be more expensive than others - but we wanted a pain free "careful" move, so we went ahead. There seemed to be lots of paperwork and inventory items to check off, this did not help us a...

From the outset, Allied Pickfords outshine their competitors for their professionalism, excellent quality service, punctuality and providing a seamless service when I was temporarily moving out of my apartment for renovations. Their short term storage facility also made life easy. A representative came, prepared a quote which I received later that day via email.
The packers were punctual, professional, hardworking and respectful of possessions. I received all my furnishings back in one piece, no damage or breakages. New wooden floors and no scratches moving in.
Don’t waste your time with anyone else, this team are brilliant.
Thanks AlliedPickfords Geelong!

Personal goods in 20 boxes were moved interstate (long distance ) and yes it was approximately on expected date of delivery. Items reached intact without any damage at all.

I x Niagara Massage chair (90kg) from Bendigo to Brisbane.
They were excellent, picked up the item on time and stored till I was available for delivery.
Very well packed and protected.
2 men to unload and place it where I wanted.
The best quote I received and will use them again.
The staff were all excellent to deal with.

We moved from a 4bedroom house in Melbourne to regional Victoria. On time, helpful and incredibly friendly movers - not one think damaged or broken.

Pickfords moved my furniture from Melbourne port to my house after shipping it from London. The communication was terrible I had to keep calling up to get updates. I paid extra for difficult access. The movers turned up in a truck and a ute and took all my furniture from the truck to house in the ute. They manhandled and dropped boxes. As a result I have a good 15 damaged items some of them antiques which are irreplaceable including a dining set that was 100 years old. All dinner plates smashed! And a clock from the 1930s. Glass smashed and I c...

We had a 4x2 house. The pickup was organised and professional. All 3 men were cheerful, polite and knew what they were doing.

I was very happy with my move using Allied Pickford. I was a bit stressed about the move so they sent out a representative to go through it with me, giving me an accurate assessment of how many metres and a quote right away. Mine was a large move, 5 bedroom house. It was from Victoria to far North Queensland. On the day of packing, the men arrived on time, were very respectful and handled all my things with care. On the day of delivery, again they arrived on time were very respectful, careful with my things. They unpacked my furniture, put it i...

Interstate move Vic to NSW - 3 bedroom home. Staff very punctual, friendly, efficient and professional. However we were disappointed with their insurance company.

My sister is legally vision-impaired. She requested Allied Pickford (AP) pack up her house, and then unpack her in the same suburb on 9 January 2017. AP verbally quoted her around $2100. Neither my sister nor her carer received a written quote.
On the day, AP packed only a few cupboards in the kitchen. I rang to query this and was emailed a written quote saying they would pack the kitchen and dining rooms only. I then pointed out they'd left several kitchen cupboards and the pantry still full, plus the garage. I insisted they come out aga...

A few months ago I wrote a very long detailed review which has somehow vanished from this site. So here's the short version. We moved internationally a large house full of antiques and delicate items. We did a competitive bidding process between four companies and felt that Allied had the best combination of price and service. At every step of the way, they did a brilliant job. Excellent communication from Sales through to Logistics, high quality packing materials, polite hardworking load/unload crews, everything carefully packed, arrived and d...

4bed full house move from Vic to Qld. Amazing fast crew, well packed and no breakages. Fantastic consultant. Very professional.

2-3 bedroom house moving from.
Adelaide to Melbourne. Everything was done in great time. Workers were very easy to deal with.

We had to move our 3 bedroom house contents plus shed bits a short distance in Heathcote, Victoria. The move was in two stages and involved storage and multiple drops. All aspects were completed effectively and efficiently from a time and duration perspective. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Mr. Graeme Harrison and his team for their professionalism, patience and outstanding customer service. Graeme went out of his way to assist and support our move. He is a huge asset to your organisation and I hope this is recognised and rewarded.

We will always use and recommend the Allied Pickfords and the Bendigo group in particular.

I engaged Allied Pickfords to move my stuffs from Hong Kong to Launceston, Tasmania. My stuffs arrived Melbourne by ship on 27th June 2016. I was advised by the staff both in Hong Kong and at Melbourne that the custom clearance would take 10-14 days. After some calls, I was only advised by the Melbourne office on 14th July 2016 that the customs did not agree to release my stuffs as I did not indicate my exact address at destination. I amended relevant forms accordingly on the same day to provide my exact address at destination at Launceston. O...

We moved from Melbourne to Mandurah in WA. We found that Allied Pickford were not the cheapest but they were responsive to requests for information and constantly changing inventory (thank you Penny). The packing guys were quick and efficient and so were the guys who delivered the goods in WA. We decided against taking out insurance because it was expensive and everything arrived in one piece - no breakages - we were very happy. As I said, not the cheapest, but we would use them again. We also sent our car with their sub-contractor and, again, it arrived safely and on time.
