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.

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

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 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.

All Care NO Responsibility
Moved from France to Perth, Australia. The packers in France I thought did a pretty good job until my items were unpacked at the other end. As told to me by the unpackers, some of the items were not packed correctly and as a result of this we had a number of breakages. We took insurance out but you cant really insure each and every item itemised. I contacted both Perth and French office and was told items not covered so we will not pay a thing. I said even though your unpackers took pictures and explicitly said items were not packed correctly. So in a word they have the right to break your belongings and unless you have itemised that item you are stuffed. What a joke.

Brilliant - Couldn't ask for better service
I recently moved my 3BR apartment furniture from Halls Head (WA) to Moss Vale (NSW) over 4000km by train. Both teams of removalists were exceptional. They had a great rapport with one another and did an excellent job. The team which delivered to Moss Vale had a "tricky" task of getting all the furniture into a 3m x 3m storage unit which they did with ease and professionalism. They even gave me some of their blankets to keep - but don't tell their bosses??? It is these touches that make you remember a company. $20 worth of blankets but an unbelievable amount of goodwill generated. I could not rate both teams high enough. Keep up the great work - they a fantastic ambassadors for Crown Relocations.

Fantastic Work
I will be sending business your way as I have done since 1996 when I was working with you and the guys plus the girls there at Crown Perth.
The service from Paul Morris and Donald Bowd on the delivery was exceptional… plus the guys who picked up our office equipment from Kewdale were just as great too.
Thank you once again for all your help.

Perfect Move from New Zealand to Australia
I recently moved a 40ft container from Richmond New Zealand to Albany Western Australia. From start to finish both teams were very organised and a pleasure to deal with. The professionalism from the whole company was outstanding and I am very happy to recommend Crown Removalist. I also commend Crown for their communication - I was constantly updated throughout the whole process and pickup and delivery times spot on.. A special mention to Locky from the Nelson branch who was the team leader - what a great guy to have around on your move day, made the day stress free!!

Crown - Great Service Recovery- Thanks to Steve Blackwell of Crown Perth
After writing my earlier review of Crown, I received a call from Steve Blackwell, their States Manager, WA.
Though what has happened cannot be changed, I think a responsible company like Crown is taking the initiative to reach out to customers like myself who has had a bad experience. I gave all the details to him and he was quick to acknowledge certain issues and responded to say that they will review certain training for their staff. There was no excuses just pure genuine attitude to know what went wrong and to fix the gaps in the lapse of service.
I think that deserves a second change, don't you think?

Broken promise up front... but a good recovery
Update:
---------
How an organisation responds to a problem is important. Following my complaints to Crown, I promptly received a call and email from one of their relationship managers apologising for what had happened. My consignment was delivered as originally planned without further charges applying. The men who delivered and unpacked our goods were friendly and courteous. So in the end we had the desired result without further inconvenience. I do credit Crown for a good response to this issue. Overall my rating recovers from terrible to g...Read more

Negligent and careless, rude to deal with and full of broken promises
We moved our 3 bedroom house from Sydney to Perth with Crown Relocations. We paid for a 20ft container and basically fitted as much as we could in it with Crown packing everything for us. The Crown representatives all said that our contents would remain in this container the whole length of the journey (excepting items that WA Quarantine Dept had to inspect which were purposely packed right at the end to make this easy to get to and avoid repacking).
It was then to our surprise and astonishment when our removal arrived in Perth not in the co...Read more
ntainer but 5x non-weatherproof pine crates at our house. What was even worse though was the disgusting state our belongings had been repacked in them, parts of it looked like kids had packed them by chucking the stuff in, it was terrible!!! When we asked what happened, the driver said they likely repacked it at the depot because they needed our container back for someone else's move. I saw our contents get packed in the 20ft container in Sydney and know it was packed well with protective mats used almost everywhere, the guys at the Sydney end did a good job. But the morons in Perth I can't give the same credit. They ruined a lot of our possessions through sheer negligence (not accidental as they claim). We had a broken kids bed, broken lamps, smashed glassware, damaged dining table, kids playpen and kids table destroyed, coffee machine broken, adult bed ensemble damaged and lastly our expensive entertainment unit gouged and scratched when it was tipped up on it's side. All up more than $2k worth of damage. We first approached Crown to discuss the damage in a pragmatic way. We said we understand that under the common carrier conditions, we understood that damage can occur in transit. However when I made the claim that Crown were negligent purely by the way they repacked everything in Perth (and sent the photos to prove), all I got was the mother of all run arounds and false promises. They basically didn't care at all and said "that's what insurance was for!". Crown's insurance quote at more than 3.3% contents value is a joke (this would have cost us $3500 insurance on a $7k removal). In summary, Crown were negligent and careless, rude to deal with and full of broken promises. All they cared about was when they could come and collect the empty cardboard boxes. I do not recommend Crown Relocations at all. Steer clear! Hint: check other insurers like CARTS, they are much better value and service.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
