Allied Pickfords???
Hi all......
We've got a girl from Allied Pickfords coming out to
see us next week, to give us a quote for moving our
stuff from the UK to Perth WA.
(Hoping to finally get out there for the end of March).
Anyone used them, & can let me know how they compare,
price / quality of service wise, to other shippers.
Cheers...... John & Gillian......
P. S. Good luck to Jo, & Matt Tallents, who fly out to Perth today!!!

Re: Allied Pickfords???
We used them from the UK to Oz and had no end of trouble.
They damaged a lot of things like broken glass with the paintings, etc. But
the biggest problem is that their insurance is very difficult to claim on.
They damaged beyond repair a new Zanuzi washer/dryer, but would not cover it
under the insurance policy because they said we put too low a value down on
the insurance form, yet we put the price we paid for it at Curry's.
They said that in Australia the equivalent model was 3 times that price to
buy, so they refused to pay for any repair. We paid quite a lot for their
insurance and never got one penny out of them.
By the way the goods turned up 6 months later than they said they would
arrive.

I used Pickfords and, apart from a few small breakages, they were pretty good overall. See my longer post on another thread.

Re: Allied Pickfords???
We used them in November last year, moving from Singapore to Melbourne.
Their services were ok. Keep a hard copy of any infomation given to you to
avoid any disputes. We had another quotation from Crown Relocation, very
competitive too.
Good Luck...
