We had a terrible experience with Allied Pickfords and would never recommend their services. Their office staff were good and survey agent professional, and on the ground crew were pleasant enough people but that's the only positive feedback we can give them. On receiving our goods interstate there were boxes that looked crushed, our new tv had the screen smashed and several pieces of furniture (including our baby's mattress) were soiled, just to mention a few things. The owner of Allied Pickfords Hobart openly admitted over the phone that the reason our furniture was dirty was probably because Allied Pickfords never clean the furniture pads, and that we couldn't expect them to do such a thing because it would cost too much and no one would take responsibility for it since they are shared with all the branches. He then refused to pay a mere $90 cleaning bill for our dining chairs and cot mattress (the worst affected pieces) and replied in writing suggesting that we must have put dirt all over our own things. Ridiculous. We were also told at our initial survey that we should not pack our paintings and canvases because the crew would do that for us. On delivery we saw that they had been transported loose with no boxes or coverings at all. These are just a couple of examples of the awful service we received from "the careful movers". We have moved interstate 3 times and locally 10 times and never experienced damages and carelessness like what we received from Allied Pickfords. We expected some understanding and acknowledgement of our concerns, but we received a condescending phone call from the Hobart owner and an email that was offensive and accusatory toward us. An awful, awful experience thanks to the condition our items were received in and the incredibly disrespectful manner our complaints were (not) dealt with by the Hobart owner.

All too often those of us who received faultless service fail to give credit where credit is due. We only hear of the bad experiences. For this reason I give the following review. From the first phone call to AP in Brisbane the service was excellent. They were the only company of about five contacted that came out and did an actual survey of the goods to be moved. They provided a quote and this was the price we paid. There was no sudden increase in costs as can sometimes happen. The two persons that packed the goods for shipping did an excellent job and I can say that nothing arrived broken. The only two dishes which were broken were packed by us! Should have left those to the professionals! The three lads that packed the two containers worked hard all day and did a wonderful job. A job very well done. The goods arrived on the day that was initial given. No delay was experienced. The two containers arrived separately from Brighton and both crews worked well to unload the goods. They took care in placing the goods in the rooms required. Nothing was damaged. All in all, it was as pleasant an experience as one could expect having moved from inter-state. We used AP on the recommendation of my son who had made the move four years previously. We in turn would recommend AP to anyone having to move. Thanks for a job well done.

The front line section ie in Tasmania, were really great . Amanda was so helpful. The pick up guys were great too. BUT, between Tasmania and Queensland something went wrong.... The person from Qld contacting me, when delivery was to happen was good, and the guys delivering put it on my back porch, as I was out, and they were running a bit late, that was okay too. We know that things sometimes don't run smoothly. I was disappointed that my "proper" packing boxes were torn, opened, retaped and crushed. The fragile box was clearly labelled, but rifled through, it seemed to me. I've used Alliance before, and it was well past my budget, but times change. I guess I was disappointed with lack of care in the handling, and I don't know who would be responsible for that

I too had the worst possible experience with these idiots a few years ago, when they moved me. They damaged multiple things due to packing heavy metal items on top of wooden furniture without any, or with inadequate padding. They then said that they have no responsibility just because I didn't insure. Well you can't insure against STUPIDITY, nor can you excuse STUPIDITY. The silver lining for me is that I've now just recently saved the 5th person that was going to use them from the grief and from their arrogant and abusive attitude. That's 5 moves that they have lost, yes made no money from when they were going to be contracted. Damn idiots like these guys need to be exposed to save innocent people from grief.

We were told when we contracted for services that our belongings would be transported usually within 2 to 3 weeks of pick up. After waiting 4 weeks I contacted them to find out where our stuff was only to be told it hadn't even left Hobart and surprisingly would be leavi g that day. I was not told of any delay during this time only to be given the excuse that they couldn't fill a container and that our goods could wait indefinitely until that occurred. Poor service. We were also told that our car would be transported on semi with protective skirts around the truck to protect against stone chips. This did not occur and the transport company have no such thing.

Dreadful service, no care and no responsibility... Move from Perth to Hobart. Perth packers dropped a TV, pretended it didn’t happen. Hobart unpackers - Didn’t assemble furniture as per contract, screws and bolts missing from beds. - Dropped TV didn’t work, two months and still no resolution or offer of compensation. - Driver tried to back-up our steep driveway, tore up and destroyed the drive, no compensation or even an apology, taking them to the small claims court in an attempt to have it fixed. I would suggest you look for a careful mover, NOT Allied Pickfords.

The estimator who called in several times to adjust our volumes in Hobart was very friendly and put us at ease. The teams that came to do the removal in Hobart were great, they were happy to help us with whatever we asked. They packed our oversized and awkward items really well. The delivery team in Canberra arrived promptly and were very capable, they made moving in day much less stressful. Half our load got caught up at the railhead but the team kept us informed and organised prompt delivery once the container was mobile. Thanks

We got Allied Pickfords to move our belongings across Hobart. From the outset everyone we dealt with was professional, friendly and helpful. Unlike other movers that we got quotes from, we weren't required to write out a full inventory of our stuff just to get a quote. The moving crew on the day were fantastic and all our belongings arrived undamaged and clean. Would recommend to anyone moving house.

Removal costs were quite expensive, the team that turned up in my residence in Tasmania didn’t know they actually had a removal job, and kept mentioning a delivery on the phone. The team however were polite. The team in Victoria were fast and efficient and polite. No damage was done to any of my furniture. I wouldn’t use Allied again in the future.

I relocated from Hobart, Tasmania to Adelaide recently. I can not commend the removalists enough, at both ends, for their fantastic efforts. Would highly recommend Allied Moving Services.

Allied Pickfoords staff on the phone or in person were great to deal with, we had 90+ pieces and all arrived in good condition. Thanks again for careing. Cheers Chris

Extremely professional experience from start to finish, excellent communication throughout the process and great crew either end of my move. Thanks again!

Fast, efficient, friendly service team, starting with Rod in the office to your guys doing the heavy lifting. However, I haven't unpacked many boxes yet.

Efficient service. Good communication at both ends. Was only a small shipment but everything arrived safely and roughly on time despite recent floods.

The team who packed up and delivered to my house were both professional. The delivery team Were outstanding . Thanks for a positive experience.

Great service, fast delivery from Hobart to Melb. Wonderful staff only too happy to help. Second move from HBT to MELB and still a great team.

Couldn't fault the service at all. Both office and removalist staff were great. Also on time and delivered furniture when I requested.
