Default Has Anyone Used Allied Pickford Removal Company?

Hi

I'm looking at using Allied Pickford, I hoping to confirm on Monday. Could anyone let me know their experiences of this company good/or bad.

Thanks.

Bella

Hi Bella

We used them in March so can only vouch for their service in the UK (we havent got it back yet!) and they were great. Very efficient and very friendly!

We had a terrible time using them. A huge amount of stuff was 'lost' (all resaleable stuff) or broken. They never bothered to pack most of our stuff and never wrote an inventory, which we had to make up by trying to remember, before customs would release our stuff. Afterwards, they found some of our big items in other peoples containers, with only our name on, not even the country. They released my vehicle before customs had cleared it, which was the only hold I had on them regarding compensation. I think we had a list of 70 things that they showed negligence on. To some extent there is a lot of luck involved in getting someone good, but i certainly could never recommend them after what they did and the lies they all told afterwards. Because they are a franchise, the different countries have no financial ties at all. They all blame each other and it makes getting compensation for their incompetence, very very difficult.

We used them and found them to be excellent at both ends.
No problems and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We used them to move to USA, they were highly competitive on price, very caring, and did an excellent job. Would recommend them.
