No one responds
We moved from New Zealand to Australia and 3 of our boxes were missing and i have to follow up for doing the claim and after that no one responds.I sent nearly 10 emails and if we call someone in brisbane they say all the insurance will be dealt in singapore.It's going to be an year in May but no one contacted me regarding my claim or the payout.It is very frustrating and they will be very nice with you when you are taking the quotes in the beginning but not reliable and i warn each and everyone whom i know not to use crown because of their service.

Water Damage to Furniture and little to no Help
Moved a full container of household goods between Singapore and Melbourne over Dec / Jan and was shocked to find boxes damaged and water damage to furniture inside them. Crown also seemed to subcontract delivery to another company and then provided no support when damage was relayed to them.

Very poor communication & customer service
Moving a 2 bedroom house from Melbourne, AU to Wellington, NZ. Was recommended Crown by friends who said the service was great. I have unfortunately had the complete opposite experience to great. Communication has been poor from the start and I have always had to follow up multiple times to get responses or answers. Phone calls go answered and the Crown team could work on using out of office bounce emails. The move was contracted out by Crown to another service provider (without me being informed) so I was very confused when another moving comp...Read more
any turned up. I had also specifically requested crates for my wine collection which were not provided and instead was packed poorly into normal cardboard boxes. My relocation consultant was on leave the day of my move which had also not been communicated. I was told later that the wine would be repacked however no photos were provided of proof - I await to see this when my goods arrive hopefully in one piece. Packers weren't very efficient in packing as the volume went up from quoted 15m3 to 20m3. Packers came on 25/09. After no updates following the invoice for the increased volume 08/10 (they also first sent me an invoice for an entirely different client) I contacted my relocation consultant on 17/10 to ask for vessel details. Estimated arrival in NZ was 17/11 with 15 business days for customs clearance. I tracked the ship which arrived 13/11. It has now been well over 15 business days with no update and no reply to emails at 09/12.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Stay Away - They are a joke
2 Bedroom Apartment plus a Study to be moved from Sydney to Adelaide - it wasn't international and they still have messed up majority of my high value items. I was told they have adequate capacity to move my apartment and that I should be assured about my high value items.
Guys who came to pack the house were done in 3 hours and the ones who came for the uplift were super upset with the magnitude of work that was there. They were not given tools to do their job and same with Adelaide - I am still waiting on a response from them about all the d...Read more
amages and only found out after sending a second email that my contact person left the job, the next person is on leave and no one to respond. I have damaged items, destroyed furniture and mechanical damage on machines due to heavy items stored on them. Boxes not delivered, mattresses damaged. Please stay away from these scammers - they cant do a job right and have no ownership or accountability. absolute disgrace of a company. I paid for premium insurance because I was worried and got nothing in return and still waiting to hear from someone.

Never ever use Crown Relocation Service
It is a nightmare dealing with Crown Relocation, we have our (2 bedroom apartment) personal effects transferred by them from Wellington to Sydney. When the goods arrived in Australia, they sent the wrong document to custom which caused two weeks delays for us, we had to live in an rental apartment without our stuff, We had to buy mattress and beddings and basic things for living. Finally, when the goods had gone through all the custom clearance, they said they could not arrange time to deliver our good immediately, but only six days later. No...Read more
w they say that they can not deliver the goods tomorrow which was the agreed date because they are too busy. What kind of service? Unbelivable imcompetent and unprofessional. Any thing went wrong, they acted just like, oops, that was it! We are really frustrated about the whole expereince dealing with Crown, Reading other clients' reviews, I already feel miserable and worried how our effects would look like when we finally recieve them. So stay away from Crown!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible Experience with International Move from New Zealand to Australia
We had Crown Relocations move our personal effects (40ft and 20ft containers) including a motor vehicle from New Zealand to the Gold Coast.
This was our 2nd international move. We looked at other moving companies and chose Crown based on their values and insurance cover, they were not the cheapest however the Sales Consultant assured us if anything went wrong we would be looked after, unfortunately this was far from the truth.
We had issues with multiple Crown staff leaving their employment, then other Crown staff not knowing how long befo...Read more
re our shipment would arrive. No replies to emails or phone calls, no updates and no dates for delivery which kept changing. Communication was extremely poor. The uncertainty of delivery created additional cost to our family for accommodation and car hire. Our Crown sales consultant was no where to be seen. Quite remarkable, considering he was emailing and calling me constantly prior to signing the contract. The whole relocation became extremely frustrating, we wrote to the Managing Director several times and he never replied. Throughout our ordeal, this became common behaviour with staff when things went wrong - no communication.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Don't Use Crown - Trust Me I Am Nearly Broke
First things first: The packing was great. The staff that assisted us in NZ were very friendly, communicated well, listened to us and worked with us to pack. 5 stars for this. The start was great. They were quick as well.
This is my story. A snapshot of my many conversations with crown starting from NZ (Hamilton to SA, AU).

id not communicate. We were told by [name removed] that we could make payments upon settlement (house sale). [name removed] then gave us the notice to pay ASAP, before the house sale. That was very inconvenient, and we had to take a lot of time out and make appointments with the lawyer to get the necessary paperwork. This was a big hassle.3 comments

ipment from a lovely lady. She has been great so far but has become silent all of a sudden. I hope she is ok. We called the Adelaide number instead but have had none to very little feedback. The Adelaide office told us that we had called the wrong place and that the number we called on was only for claims. Did not even direct us or provide us with the right number to call on. Should provide correct details on your website.Beverely D.Crown Relocations Australia

Incompetent movers
We moved a 3 br home from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. The time of the first container arriving was spot on- we thought this is great. Then we realised how incompetent the Melbourne packers had been. They managed to leave pieces from each room for the 2nd container. We couldn't cook, use the bathroom, or setup our bed. When the 2nd container arrived there was still stuff missing. We had damages, broken goods and missing pieces. In the third week we finally received some of the missing pieces. They don't care about the damage and losses but leave it for the insurance company to sort out. This is a dodgy setup and the only saving grace is that they have some nice staff who cop the blame for the incompetent parts of the organisation.

Exceptional Service!
My parents moved house after 28 years in the same property which was extremely emotional for them. We engaged CROWN to pack their wordily possessions into containers as the furniture had to be in storage for a few months. From the minute I contacted CROWN via phone, on-going communication via email and when Jason and Leon arrived to pack the two x 20 foot containers their service, attention to detail and emotional support was outstanding. Again with the second move Leon and Ben also amazing and very patient with the parents needs. Thank you!!!!!

Super easy move from NZ to Australia
I was relocating from NZ to Austrslia and needed to have my furniture and personal gears moved over. I got several Quotes and went with Crown because they seemed to be able to do the job within the timeframe I needed. Crown ensured i was involved and kept good communication about the status of my gears. I had someone in Australia to liaise with. My gears were delivered by the nicest team very professional and they made sure i was happy before leaving. The move took 6 weeks also i was able to put my gears into storage for a small charge. Would highly recommend Crown.

Polished sales pitch. Poor service and accountability
We employed Crown to relocate us using a sale use 20 foot container from Nelson New Zealand to Perth Australia in early December 2018. This was not our first international move and as we employed a terrible company four years ago that split our container and then lost thousands of dollars of our belongings, we did not want a repeat performance.
Crown have a polished and professional sales pitch that promises service and accountability, sadly this stops once the contract is signed. Crown relocated our container to a wharf in New Zealand and ...Read more

Unreliable and untrustworthy
We moved interstate (3 hours away) with 2/3rds of a 5 bedroom home. We chose Crown Relocation despite their much higher quote, due to assurances they were reliable. We were told multiple trucks were always available in case of problems.
We have been in our new home for over 3 weeks and are still awaiting the last of our belongings. They damaged items and continue to change dates for delivery.
They are more expensive than many relocation companies, yet offer much less. A poorly loaded truck meant leaving part of our furniture and possessions beh...Read more

Recent cross Tasman move
Recently we moved from Nelson, New Zealand to Brisbane, Queensland. The young man who did a lot of the packing was professional, easy to work with and nothing was a problem to him. The whole Nelson Team that we had contact with impressed us with genuine service. The coordinating lady at the Brisbane Depot/Office, listened carefully to our needs regarding the delivery and impressed us with genuine care for us and our circumstances and delivered on time. The Driver of the delivery truck was very helpful and also helped us with knowledge of setting up house here in Brisbane. Real genuine extra mile service. A big "thank you" to all involved. Well done CROWN.

Stress Free International Relocation
I have moved twice with Crown and cannot be happier! On both occasions I have received friendly, professional and timely service. We moved a 3 bedroom household with antiques and many breakables from NZ to Sydney on our most recent move (Oct 2018). Our things arrived well protected, earlier than expected and the staff were extremely accommodating when we were unable to receive our belongings for 2 weeks. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

Amazing from start to end!!
We moved from Ireland to Australia from a 4 bed large house. It was such an easy process with Crown from the beginning to the end. Our move managers were in constant contact with us to ensure it was a smooth process, the packing team arrived on time and packed everything with extreme care and precision. Our move took 12 weeks door to door which is what one would expect so we were happy with the turnaround time. Our unpacking team arrived and were very courteous and worked to a very high standard ensuring every box was accounted for and placed where we wanted them. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Moved from a 4 bedroom home in Auckland NZ to Brisbane Australia. Excellent staff and nothing was too much trouble. The staff are all professional and very friendly. A special mention of the excellent and friendly service of Sharna at your Brisbane office, she is awesome.

Delighted with the job Crown did
Engaged Crown to shift some of my furniture from Timaru, NZ to Melbourne and the rest of it to Invercargill. From start to finish the customer service experience was excellent. Kept informed of progress throughout the process and everything arrived in excellent condition at both locations. I received my furniture in Melbourne way sooner than I expected. A job well done Crown.

Never use these dodgy removalists!!!
I moved from Canberra to Brisbane with Crown Relocations with a three bedroom house and a spa needed to manage my spinal disability. It takes a truly special degree of incompetence to break as many items as Crown Relocations broke. I do not know how an organisation so lacking in competence stays in business. They broke my antique cabinet, smashing the central door with its ornate shaped mirror. They broke numerous other smaller items of value to me. They also smashed my spa beyond repair. This has had terrible consequences for me financially an...Read more
d physically. It will take some time for me to recover physically from the damage to my body that Crown Relocations inflicted. Thanks to their dodgy insurance arrangements I am $11,000 out of pocket and have had to take out a two year loan I can ill afford to pay for a replacement spa. Crown Relocations did not merely damage my spa. They destroyed my health and functionality for three months leaving me in unbearable physical pain. Their response when trying to resolve the dispute was appalling. Essentially they couldn't care less what damage they have inflicted and claim that all due care was taken with my items. What a furphy! Items do not end up smashed beyond repair when all due care is taken with them. If this is an example of all care being taken by Crown Relocations it is a sad indictment on its competency. People need to be warned to never use the dodgy services of Crown Relocations lest they incur serious damage.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Moved from Lockridge to Dayton
I booked an 6.5 Tonne truck for 100 per hour but an 5 Tonne truck arrived and got charged 100 per hour anyway.
This took 2 trips and 8 hours far too long.
They 2 guys were always talking and on the phone most of the time.
Will never use them again.
