Allied Moving Services

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Allied did a great job in moving us to our new property. They are highly professional and a pleasure to deal with.
