Allied Pickfords

We had moved from AUstralia to the Uk a few years ago with Allied Pickfords. It wen tokay, so we selected Pickfords for our removal back home, even though they were slightly more expensive than others. Packers arrived late and kept on wandering off for breaks: 2 1/2 hours of breaks on a 7 1/2 working day. Team leader spent another 2 hours or so texting! Packing was done without any care or thinking- ragile items practically thrown into boxes, no consideration to space (we pay by volume!) Packers too lazy to inspect items closely at beginning. When everything was packed, team leader showved packing list into our face, claimed to be in a hurry and urged us ...  Read the complete review

I recently relocated and decided to use Bishop's Move as they came to evaluate the move and told me about their years of experiece, great service and competitive rates etc... I hesitated to use Interdean, who I had used previously. Now I really wish I had... If you're considering Bishop's Move's services. Don't. Here is the letter I wrote to them right after the move took place: Dear Tony, This is a letter to complain about the poor quality of service we received from your company during our move. Here are the details of our complaints: 1. Bad planning: we agreed a team from Bishop's Move would come ...  Read the complete review

Wish I had known about this site before I chose Pickfords - the most expensive quote - to move my contents from Yorkshire to Birmingham. Assurances regarding care in packaging and transporting etc and a storage depot in Birmingham swayed me, because the majority of my goods would be in storage for nearly six months. Big Mistake. They arrived with two small vehicles instead of the large one I had expected, could not fit everything into pallets and rammed the rest in the transit. They damaged a bedroom suite, a dresser, an antique chair, and an armchair; allowed my bed base to become stained and soiled; transported large pictures without any protective ...  Read the complete review

Well I used Pickfords to move house from The Uk to abroad. They totally lost my stuff. I mean all the 8 boxes and they finally turned up (after many frustrated calls) weeks and weeks later in another pickfords branch at the other end of the country from where they started. It was then weeks and weeks before the stuff arrived... in a quite bashed up state!
My so called "move manager" couldnt have cared less during the incident and never returned any of my calls when I tried to find out where all our belongings were.

I moved from the north east in February 2007 down to Buckinghamshire and employed Pickfords to manage a two stage move (furniture went into storage for a few months). Pickfords were booked for the final part of the move on 1st August - they failed to turn up! I rang the company and was told the removal van was "probably stuck in traffic" (err, no, it hadn't left the north east!). Then I was told they would deliver my furniture at 3 pm (instead of 9 am as arranged). At 2 pm I rang again and was told they would be with me the next morning at 9 am. Despite writing to them, I am still waiting for an apology. I received £200 refund as compensation. They also scuffed my leather sofa and dented my fridge freezer. Absolutely shocking service. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
