Allied Pickfords

Please use somebody else. You will only be disappointed in the service. The so called professional packers that they use don't care about your personal belongings. They want to get the job done and be out of your house. When confronting the management they just want to look the other way. They don't take any responsibility for their staff, nor are they willing to help you. They just want to collect your money and the rest they do not care about. Lots and lots of damage to my belongings that they don't take responsibility for.

I couldn't be happier with the service that we received from both ends of our move. The Brisbane crew were fantastic and the decision to pay for packing the kitchen was a good choice. The young fella that came in packed seventeen boxes in the time it took me to pack 2! Everything was unloaded easily and on the day set. The crew at the other end put everything where asked and nothing was too much trouble. I am very happy with the whole experience and appreciated the professionalism, eg follow up calls.

I very recently moved from Brisbane to Cairns. I have used Allied Pickford before. I rang and arranged for their assessor to attend and quote for an uplift from Brisbane. Please excuse me as I have a terrible memory for names! The assessor arrived on time on the due date 5th January. The uplift was discussed, insurance was discussed and an assessment of volume to be uplifted was completed. Having previously used Allied Pickford I was able to tell the assessor that it would be a container and a half approximately. Assessment documents were printed before the assessor departed. Uplift was arranged for the 22nd January. There was also one car to be transported. On the 10th January I paid for the uplift in full by Bank Transfer and sent a copy of the Bank invoice to Allied Pickford. A few days before prepack Allied Pickford dropped off some boxes for us (the owners) to start the packing of personal items - mostly. Allied Pickford attended on the 19th January to do a prepack. This packing was beautifully done and packed boxes were placed in the garage for uplift on the 22nd. Allied Pickford arrived on the 22nd January with two containers. The three men were courteous and helpful and completed the packing and loaded the Containers. The car was also collected on the same day. Having disposed of some items before uplift I noticed that the entire load was in only one and one quarter in total. Delivery: On 2nd February, in Cairns, I received two phone calls about delivery of the car and the personal effects that would be delivered on the 5th February. Allied Pickford arrived on time and unload the one and one quarter containers. Once again the Allied Pickford staff were totally helpful especially as I asked for some boxes not to be put where the label on the outside suggested. They also unpacked to the bench in the kitchen, reassembled beds and tables, unpacked the large TV. They left no mess and removed all empty boxes. They were cheerful and polite. It was a pleasure to associate with all the staff of Allied Pickford. They left a telephone number so that I can arrange to send the remaining boxes back after I have unpacked them in a few weeks. The car was also delivered on time and in perfect condition. Summary: They are the careful movers. I had no breakages of any sort. I recommend them to anyone who wants a job well done.

From first phone contact to watching the container drive away, the service and attention to detail by everyone I dealt with at AlliedPickfords was faultless. The initial estimate of volume was spot on; the packers were unbelievably fast and hardworking; and the guys who filled the container with my boxes and furniture were punctual, friendly, obliging and most of all,professional. Support from office staff with paperwork, dates and organisation was very reassuring and they anticipated everything. Simply couldn't praise, and thank, everyone enough. They left absolutely nothing for me to stress about! J. Meadows. Brisbane, Australia.
