Everything was good until a different container to teh one we packed turned up in the UK.
They transferred our items from the container loaded at our house to another shipping container, which was Not explained as part of the deal.
In the process they managed to lose 2 boxes and never made an attempt to locate them or apologise.
So they do NOT live up to their motto as "the careful movers'!
I do not recommend

Recently used Allied when moving from NZ to Japan.Pretty bad experience. The lift up guys forgot to bring boxes for clothing- promised that they will pack the clothing fine, all my suits and shirts arrived completely wrinkled. Pottery piece was packed only in paper and put together with other stuff-of course it arrived broken to pieces. The so-called Moving Consultant who is supposed to provide personal support is located off shore- God knows where. Occasionally she wasn't available, then overcharged me for extra weight, then promised a refund and then forgot to process it for over a month. Allied Japan was fine-really professional and a pleasure to deal with, but Allied NZ is a company to stay away from.

The overall expereince was good, the team was professional and timely.
We had some issues with miscommunication between their internal teams which lead to some momentary pain.
The team who came to deliver our goods in the destination country was not customer-friendly though.

Totally f*cked
Donot ever use this company.
Really bad and dishonest people.
Staff are not reliable.
Dont believe anything they say.
I have received a date for move, the day before i realised they not booked me in their diary.
Tried to take it higher, look like there is no manager or owner you can take this too.

From Otaki, New Zealand to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
The container was delayed due to Covid-19 So I was concerned that goods may have got mildew or mould but everything was perfect after 5 months in storage/shipping etc.
I highly recommend Allied Pickford and the Mexican Agent Gou. The Gou men were extraordinary.
Huge thanks

Shit!!
Farkin shit! No urgency and crap communication!
Good move from the Gold Coast and then absolute shit in New Zealand. Will totally avoid allied pickdords in the future.
VERY Disappointed
Two small cartons to be shipped to UK. Lost in transit in NZ. They were unable to locate them. I would have thought an agent for Pickfords would have adequate paperwork to trace items quickly but no. Communication with clients is poor. I would never use these agents again.

Disapointing
Lost a large armchair which was worth $3000. Didn't get ticked off as being in the consignment from Auckland yet no communication with us to say it was unaccounted for and what they were doing about it. Goods arrive in Mooloolaba Australia minus the chair. Very poor communication since and still no chair.

My move with Allied was in the groove,The transport arrangements allayed my fears,I had no worries for my table and chairs.The costs a bit high, but thats the best rate and the service from Rana was worth the wait So if your from Auckland,Greytown or Bluff if your on the move get going

I have not yet had my goods delivered, but each time I have made contact via email or phone, I have received up to date info & progress with regards to expected date of arrival & delivery of my belongings. Today I phoned, & my personal belongings are being delivered next Thursday.
I am very happy with Allied Pickford's and would choose them again, if ever I move interstate or over seas.
Great service by the packers in NZ & the team in Sydney & New Castle.
Thank you.

Very good up front service, only company to visit and view products to be shipped. One of two companies that made multiple personal contacts and price was with $100 of other company (Crown).
However - very disappointed that two months after my furniture was collected it has not yet been shipped from Dunedin. For $140 extra my other quote would have delivered to Perth address by 10 January 2017.

I have used Allied Pickfords before, and found them very satisfactory, The guys who came to pack up in NZ were great,
The ones in Australia when delivered, couldn't wait to get out, got to the door and said oh do u want us to unpack anything? I just said no don't worry about it, I also had to ring up 3 times to get my boxes picked up, they finally came and picked them up.

Throughout the moving process, we found Allied Pickfords very good to deal with. Our contact there always texted or called us back promptly with any queries we had. The uplifting of our furniture was handled carefully and efficiently by the very professional, yet friendly removal team.
