Allen Moving and Storage: Your Trusted Partner in Storage Canterbury

I just moved locally, and Allen Moving made everything easy and at a great price. Reliable and professional company – they arrived to give the quote when they said they would, and followed up promptly with all of the details in writing. The guys on the day were friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended.

The guys were amazing on the day, specifically Markus, Tim, Ollie & Mark – they were absolute machines, fast, efficient, professional and friendly. How they manage to stay so upbeat whilst doing such tough work, brilliant job!

I recently worked on a two day job with two young men from this company and I found them wonderful. They were quiet, polite, thoughtful, careful and very obliging. They were so patient and helpful moving and removing heavy furniture into exactly measured and centered positions. The breakable items they packed into boxes were extremely well packed and subsequently there were no breakages. Highly recommend this company.

Allen’s removals have been by far my best customer experience with a removalist business and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

It may be because they are a family business as it seemed their values shine through from quote to delivery, they were professional, curteous and friendly.

Ben Allen even dropped extra boxes and tape into my home on his weekend. Nothing seemed too much trouble.

It was a move from the city to the country and a long day. Tim and Andrew were lovely, polite and very careful of my possessions, and really took the time with the fragile antiques to ensure they arrived safely in one piece.

Ben and Marcus were amazing. On time, super helpful and nothing too difficult. The left the place neat and tidy, and even helped me move something I’d been wanting to shift and couldn’t work out how to do it! I’d recommend these guys every time. This is the third time I’ve used Allen’s and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!!!

Ben & his team at Allen moving truly are the best at what they do.

Seriously do yourself a favour & contact Ben or one of his friendly staff & let them take some of the stress out of moving, They are so professional & reliable, you will be thankful that you chose them to do the work.

You guys are the best .
Thank you 🙏

These guys have moved me so many times and are always so professional and hardworking. It’s great to see the same guys still working there. I cannot thank Ben and the team enough. Great mates and hard work all day! THANKYOU

Ben Allen and his team have moved us five times including a complicated move which involved moving furniture interstate and locally. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they have taken incredible care with our antique furniture and artworks every move. His team has been full of familiar faces each time which is also reassuring. I can’t recommend Allen removals and storage highly enough they take a huge load off during a stressful time.

BEST MOVING COMPANY EVER!! We have previously used 4-5 other removalists and have always encountered difficulties. Ben (the owner) from Allen Moving & Storage could not have been nicer, more helpful or easier to deal with. We will never use any other moving company again, I can’t recommend Allen Moving & Storage highly enough!

Fantastic company. They took all the worry out of the move for me. Excellent team in the office – handled the initial query and arrangements, followed by the amazing moving team. Two guys. Everything out of the old house, into storage for a month and then up 25 floors to the new apartment. Nothing broken or damaged. I saw someone else move into the building a week later using 4 times the number of movers.

Courteous, reliable, and seriously efficient. I’m already recommending these guys to family and friends.

Thank you very much.
Steve – Docklands

Best people to do the move for you

Have moved us flawlessly every time – the best in the business!

You guys did a fantastic job, 6 Star job well done.

Amazing service – the guys are incredibly efficient and very friendly. Ben has a great team, highly recommend this company.

Great service, packed and UNPACKED all of my things for me, best move i’ve had

Good stuff, would highly recommend 10/10

Lovely staff really good job

Their storage is awesome in little personal boxes, they come to you and can do everything for you, they moved my sister and she was so happy with it!

The best quality moving and storage company I have ever used.

The staff at Allen Moving and Storage are obviously well trained industry professionals. Well presented, punctual and they looked after my possessions like they where there own.

These guys are great. On the day 2 guys arrived and moved quickly loading the truck in no time at all. Nothing is too much trouble. Price is very reasonable and the job is done in the time quoted.

Have contracted Allen Moving twice over the years. Can’t see myself utilising any other moving service in the future.

Moved twice with them now and service has been outstanding both times. Great value too so takes a lot of stress out of what can be a painful process. Well done!

Highly recommend, courteous and professional service, nothing was a problem

Wow. Amazing job by your guys . All three of them were so lovely and obliging. Can’t thank them enough for making the dreaded day so smooth.

These guys really live up to their motto of providing stress free moving. They take care in attending to all the details to make the experience as smooth as possible. Very professional job.

Fantastic, professional service. Ben and the boys made this the most painless move I have ever done. Could not recommend highly enough.

Ben and the team were fantastic! Our move was seamless and the best move we have ever done! The service was sensational and I highly recommend them to anyone I know needing a professional moving company.

Right from the start, my email enquiry generated a personal phone call to organise a time to come and see exactly what I needed – which was great as I had no idea how many boxes or people I would need to move! (A question you’re constantly asked by the majority of moving companies to get a quote).

Ben gave a clear quote expectation and what would vary it, and then before and during the process they were proactive with their communications, open, good humoured and always friendly.

The quote and end price wasn’t the cheapest but it most definitely wasn’t the most expensive (by a long shot!), and pretty darn close to what he’d indicated in his quote. Ben and all his team made the process so much less stressful than it may otherwise have been.

I would thoroughly recommend Allens Moving moving, from start to finish, in every aspect!

Thanks to the guys for helping me move today. I was super stressed and not at all organised, as I should have been for the move!!!!!! Despite the weather being extremely hot and smokey everyone was very helpful, efficient and kind. I appreciated it and I am SO RELIEVED it is done and the extra stuff is in storage. Thanks so much boys I would have been really stuffed without you!

The Allen’s moving team were absolutely fantastic. Everyone from the front office staff to the removalists were extremely helpful and professional. I needed furniture removed from a three storey house that had some real challenges and then needed to avail myself of Allen’s storage facilities while my apartment was being renovated.

Yesterday Allen’s arrived on time and delivered all my furniture in a timely and professional manner. This time they had to tackle the challenges of lifting two heavy King Living sofas into a lift. Again managed with great care and professionalism. They are the best removalists I have ever engaged and highly recommend them.

I have moved between Canada, USA and Australia for the past 40 years and I have to say Allen Moving & Storage have been one of the best moving companies I’ve ever used. We used them about 6 years ago and were so impressed, we called them to move us again and they were once again, fantastic. Their team were fun, helpful, respectful, friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. They moved my 6-foot grand piano with ease and care, and for that, I am truly grateful. My recommendation would be to go for Allen Moving and & Storage every time! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Ben, Vee, Tim and Marcus for making our moving experience an enjoyable one!

I decide this time to go with a PROFESSIONAL moving company to relieve the stress and not end up with some mystery bill on completion! From the 1st email to an in home price assesment to waving the truck goodbye at the end, everything was a breeze. I would definitely use Allen’s again and confidently recommend this company.

Very professional moving company with fantastic, friendly service. Everyone from Vee in the office, Ben who quoted the job and the guys who did the move – Tim, Ethan and Markus (I’m sorry if I got your names wrong) – were professional, efficient and courteous – nothing was too much trouble! I would highly recommend Allen Moving & Storage! Thank you!

Excellent service from everyone in the company from the first enquiry to the quote and service delivery, on time, packed perfectly and delivered to our new home, the removalists were very professional and never stopped despite a 40 plus degree day, would recommend them to everyone who needs to move house.

We can’t recommend Ben and the team highly enough. The moment they arrived we instantly felt relieved, they knew exactly what needed to be done and got started. They went above and beyond taking special care of some fragile furniture and even set it back up at the new place. They were 10/10 professional, and good blokes, we all had a good laugh during the day , it was the most unstressful move we’ve ever done. Thanks again

We were fortunate to be moved by Ben and Jason. They were a few minutes late but texted ahead to provide a new ETA which meant we were not left wondering. The two of them worked tirelessly … moving the contents of our four bed home in ~six hours, … they worked around us whilst we feverishly packed the last of our belongings, and provided additional boxes when we ran out. Fragile items were handled with care.

They were both polite and jovial, which took the edge off the stress of the move. We’ll definitely be booking them for our return post renovations. Thank you.

Ben and his team are amazing. We’ve used them a number of times over the last 12 years, for moving home and the office, even the beach house. Always happy with the great service.

Ethan and Marcus did everything, they were friendly, professional and made the whole experience stress free!

Great service with a smile, worked fast and diligently, and very affordable. Couldn’t have asked for more really!

Great service, very professional, quick and efficient. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again

Professional from first to last contact. Pleasant and amicable staff. Fantastic problem solvers. Highly recommended, especially with moving assignments which present some challenges.

I found your staff to be extremely polite and helpful and would definitely choose Allen’s Removals again

Very professional and courteous personnel to deal with. Tim managed our move and everything was transported safely. We were very pleased with the service and would certainly recommend this company.

Excellent service with well trained and pleasant moving staff.

Allen Moving &Storage fitted in my move at very short notice. They were professional, arrived on time and completed the job in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them.

I just had Ben and Mark move my entire business – I have used them 6 times now. Always punctual, neat, helpful, priced well, and just lovely to deal with. Do yourself a favour and use them. Cheers Guys. Anny

Super friendly and very professional. Will definately use them again

This is the 2cnd time I have used Allen Moving & both times they have been very reliable and friendly. Both office staff & movers were so nice. Prices are very fair too.

Excellent service, nice guys and most importantly they did a great job!!! I would hire them again for next move 🙂

I have used Allen Furniture Removals 3 times and found them to be the most professional people on all occasions and would recommend them highly.

Great service and nice people. Reasonable price and very help during COVID-19 difficult time.

Allen Moving and Storage made our move an absolute breeze! From professional, friendly office support to THE MOST OUTSTANDING TEAM- it all went off without a hitch! The Allen Boys were brilliant, fast, fastidiously careful and nothing was too much trouble for them-even assembling flat packed tables. Will never be able to thank Ben, Vee, Swanny, Tim, Jason, Dan and whole team for going well above and beyond. Sorry about the stairs guys!!

Amazing service as always. Glass on a piece of artwork was unfortunately broken. Ben picked it up himself and returned it all fixed in 48 hours! The only removalist we use in Melbourne

I have now used Allen Moving and Storage to move home twice and could not give them a better review. The first time we moved we had the Allen team wrap and pack our belongings and everything arrived in perfect condition at the other end.

Recently we moved interstate and had already left the house (State) when Ben came to quote. He is incredible – honest, reliable, accurate and I was so happy to leave our things in his capable hands. Everything was completed on time and 100% . Absolutely worth using this company over others for piece of mind and great service.

No-one’s ever at their best on moving day and certainly I wasn’t at mine. When the guys from Allen’s arrived, the place was a disaster. I was only half packed and I was in tears. “It’s OK,” they said. “We’ll get there.” And we did. Cheerfully. When the last item, the refrigerator, was ready to be loaded, they opened it to find it completely full. “No worries,” they said and carefully unpacked the contents themselves. When the loading dock I’d promised, somehow turned out to be an inaccessible carpark, there was not a grumble even though it meant a lot longer and harder unpack. I’ll be ever grateful to Ben and his team. They stuck through me through one of my worst days. Thank you. Book them for your next move – they’ll make your worst day seem not so bad at all. Caro Llewellyn

I highly recommend Allen Moving and Storage. We have used this business for three moves, and twice for storage over the last eleven years. On each occasion our job has been completed efficiently and Ben, and his team, have taken great care with our possessions. Very professional, friendly outfit.

The team at Allen are fantastic! Professional, courteous, and meticulous in their handling of our furniture. I can highly recommend their speedy service to anyone looking for a storage or removal service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Stress free and an easy experience with Allen Moving. They arrived on time and carefully wrapped, packed and moved all my furniture. Thank you!

Ben and the team were wonderful. Very clean and quick they used care packing and transporting artwork as well as files furniture and breakables. Thoroughly efficient, nothing was too much trouble. I will use them again and highly recommend them to others friends and work colleagues. A++++

We used Allens yesterday to move house.

I was really impressed by the service , attention to detail , patience and friendly attitude.

Ben and Henry were great !

I highly recommend Allen Moving & Storage.

I would give Allen Moving 10 out of 5 stars if I could. I first used Allen Moving over six years for our large interstate move. They did such an exceptional job that I didn’t even bother getting another quote when we recently moved interstate again. What makes them so great, is the professionalism, care, and efficiency of all the team involved – from Vee who takes your call first off, to Ben who manages the interstate moves, and then to the men that do the physical move. This time we had Tim & Mark at our uplift and they took enormous care wrapping furniture and packing the truck. They were efficient, courteous, and careful. At both the uplift and delivery, the delivery men were careful. I’m so grateful for their help in making these very large moves happen so smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Allen moving was recommended by our friends and we could not be happier with the service. Jason and Liam were prompt, very efficient while be careful and just nice guys to have around for the day. We moved into a 3 bedroom house over two levels with some fragile items (including a piano)and everything arrived in perfect condition.

Thanks guys and we will definitely be recommending your service again.

After 2 terrible moving experiences, we decided to use Allen Moving & Storage this time.

Everything from getting a quote, pre-move check and the actual move was great.

Vee was very lovely in the lead up to the move and gave us the correct advice of getting 3 guys and a truck.

Ben and his team were amazing on the day. They were very efficient and never stopped.

We hope to stay in our current place for a very long time but if we ever move again, we’ll definitely use them again.

Allen’s did a great job moving us. Everything went according to plan with no hi coughs. Can highly recommend them.

Moving house is stressful and Allen’s took away a lot of that, moving the contents of one house to two locations on separate days. Friendly, flexible, efficient and value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again

Professional, experienced, reliable and timely. Ben and his team are expert removalists that provide every service required without breaking the bank. Well worth trusting these guys with your move.

I have engaged Allen many times over the last 10 years or so. Every time I’ve had a wonderful experience, that has been well communicated and and well executed.

The team was absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond anything I expected. Highly recommended.

Brilliant experience – made our move stress free! Thankyou Allens!

Allen’s team were fantastic for our move. Ben, Dean and Bryce were very professional, hard working and easy to speak with – which made the experience really positive. Thank you

The guys were great. Calm, patient and efficient. They did a great job. Would definitely recommend their work and plan to use them again for our next move. Thank you :))

I’m not often impressed these days, but Allen’s handled my move brilliantly, with great care and skill. Dean, Allen and Tim did a superb job, efficiently and with a wonderful positive attitude and great care, from protecting the floors and walls – not a single bump or scratch, to great care with my household items. Very impressive. 10 out of 10 from me.

We had the Allen’s crew move from Elwood to Mount Martha and they were fantastic – they worked so hard, they were friendly and went above and beyond to make our move as seamless as possible. Thank you!

Tim, Dean and Moweit were fantastic. They were professional, helpful, prompt and took great care. They helped to make the experience as stress free as possible. I have moved a number of times and would recommend these guys as the best. Highly recommend for your next move.

Allen, Dean and Mo did a fantastic job getting all of my furniture to the new place. Even when faced with challenging obstacles at both locations with delicate objects, they handled them with care and ensured that items were well protected for transport. Arrived exactly on at the time promised. Great service from a awesome, friendly team. Dean definitely had bigger muscles than Allen. 😛

From the time of my first enquiry, until the very last box was moved – the team at Allens made everything easy. I imagined that moving during our lockdown “pandemic time” was going to be challenging enough – but throw in an earthquake at 9am during the move too – it made the experience even more memorable (and eventful). Ben & Jordan – didn’t miss a trick – they were friendly, efficient, helpful and even brought comfort in the moment after the “quake” !! Thanks all at Allens.

From quote with Ben to moving with Allen, Liam, Rene and Tim this company has been brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and the job was completed with professionalism and good humour. These guys took the stress out of moving and everything was put into place in my new home. Thankyou.

Dean, Allen & Mo, the Seal Team of removalists, their involvement was the least stressful of the whole moving experienc. They took care and embraced all those challenges such as stairs. Will be using again.

Easy, Fast and Hassle Free…Everything you want from a removalist service. Highly recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ben and the Allens team. They made a big move as painless as they possibly could and they did it with smiles on their faces. We have used a lot of removalists over the years and Allens is head and shoulders above the rest. We also thought they provided good value for money.

Would never use again. Charged me ~$2000 to move 1.7km along the road, scratched my furniture and they still have my outdoor coffee table they won’t return.

This is the second time I have used Allen Moving (would have been the third time however they were unavailable for my last move) and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Right from the time of booking to the completion of the job their staff are friendly, courteous and make everything simple and easy. No damage, no fuss they just do a great job, try them you will not regret it. Big thanks to their whole team. Cheers Chris Vincent

Great people. Very helpful. Nothing to much trouble

Excellent service, totally recommend. I used their services 15 years ago for a few office moves and was impressed then, and they did not disappoint me this time either. Vee was very accommodating at short notice, Tim and Dean came early and did a great job, very careful, and the whole team is very friendly.

The team at Allen did a wonderful job moving everything out of our house and into storage. So efficient, from Ben’s arranging logistics to Owen & Mo on the day. They were efficient, quick, and did a great job. I recommend them 100% and would definitely use them again. A great experience.

Ben Allen and the team at Allen Moving & Storage did an exceptional job with my move from my old home into my new one plus providing short term storage whilst I had new carpet installed before I moved in. I could not recommend them more highly.

A good service until we received our final bill, which was way over the initial quote – apparently this was due to an oversight their end to include the final leg of our move. A bit of a disappointing end to what otherwise would have been a good experience.

Outstanding service. Diligent, respectful, professional, hard working people who do a magnificent job. Highly recommend.

These guys were absolutely perfect. Really took care of our stuff and were on time and worked very hard to the time down!

Allen and Seb were awesome, so efficient and everything went seamlessly. Highly recommend!

Seriously great movers! We moved twice in 2 months and as ridiculous as that sounds Ben and his team made it easy. Great guys! Highly recommended!

Thanks Ben for a great stress free move. Alan and Seb were great today. Tough job up 3 flights of stairs and did it with a smile and also a great attitude. Thank you.

The communication was wonderful kept informed promptly. Very friendly, helpful and professional team. Made the experience great thanks for the peace of mind

From first phone call with Ben through the whole process of moving, I felt very well cared for in my first move in 20 years.

Allen and Seb were great..efficient, careful and so good to work with…nothing was too much trouble. I am very impressed with them and looking forward to next move. Thanks very much to Allen and Seb…and to Ben.

We had Allen and Mo move us into our new house last week. Nothing was too hard. They were hardworking, easy going and very accommodating. Would highly recommend!

Tim and Alan were very professional, punctual, fast and thorough, as well as very friendly and helpful. Recommend to anyone looking for good removalists.

I’d have no hesitation recommending the team at Allens. Friendly, professional and efficient.

Alan and Mo did a fabulous job moving all our possessions to our new house. They took the utmost care and worked so efficiently, I was in awe just watching them. I can’t recommend Allen Moving & Storage highly enough. Extremely good value for money, too.

Ben and his team moved us for the 3rd time! Careful and fast. Took great care of Antiques and precious items.

Know where to go, the next move! Trusted removalist.

Thank you Lisa Bennetts

Lads were awesome!!! Very good to deal with, polite, prompt, patient, and very good at what they do. Recommend to use 👍

Where would I be without the assistance of Alan and Alex?? Thank you for today guys.
I highly recommend the company.

Yes they may cost more that other removalists, but you can’t put a price on care, respect, efficiency and honesty.

Thank you so much for today guys.

I recently used Allen’s to move and store my belongings. The process could not have gone more smoothly. From my initial discussion with Ben in the office to the actual move with Liam and Matt my experience with the Allen’s team was a pleasure. When I needed to later add some further items to my storage module they were also very accomodating. I cannot recommend them more highly.

We recently engaged Allen Moving and Storage to help us move us into a rental property whilst we undergo a renovation.

Ben and Liam were great! They were both professional and took great care with our furniture whilst also having a laugh and making the experience much less stressful and more fun than expected.

We can highly recommend the Allen Moving team.

Thank you to Allen & Mark who helped us move recently. They did a terrific job. What we thought would be a stressful day, wasn’t at all! Professional, friendly and we had a few laughs along the way. Definitely recommend.

I used Allen Moving to move me out, hold my goods in storage and then move me in. The team (Tim, Olly, Alex and Liam) were prompt, careful, efficient and good humoured – even in the face of getting large and heavy items up stairs. The whole experience was seamless and removed a lot of the stress that comes with moving home. I thoroughly recommend their team and service to all future movers.

Happy to recommend: careful, efficient, helpful and experienced; they were also just nice, trustworthy types.

Can not be happier. We just moved out recently and Allen and Mo helped us moving out. They are professional, efficient, careful and cautious . There was no damage to our items. They took an excellent care for our packages and households. Highly recommend them.

Recently used Allens removals to move house. I was completely impressed by their service from start to finish. The team were on time, professional, friendly and efficient. They took the utmost care with our possessions, including moving a large fridge and barbecue down a narrow set of townhouse stairs.

I would highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again.

We have used these guys twice within a year and they have been fantastic both times. Polite, fast, efficient and respectful of our belongings. Thank you to Alan, Liam and Matt.

Thank you so much Allen Moving and Storage. You took all the stress out of our recent move. I have used them twice in the past and didn’t hesitate to call them for our move last week. Very professional from my first call to organise a quote and appreciated being able to talk to Ben with all my questions in the lead up to the move.

A very big shout out though to Alan and Alex who provided ‘the muscle’ for the two days it took to move us. You were efficient, accommodating and friendly. You took great care of our possessions and how you managed to get some of the larger pieces in is beyond me. Thank you so much.

I will definitely use Allen Moving for any future moves. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely no complaints with these guys, did a great job! I had a fair bit of stuff to take but they were quick and efficient, packing up and moving me with no problems whatsoever! Would happily recommend to anyone wanting a seamless move!

The guys at Allen Moving & Storage were amazing- very professional, efficient, careful, and respectful. They had a challenging job with lots of delicate pieces, staircases, small spaces, but they managed the entire move without any issues. We’re really grateful and highly recommend.

Stress free experience from Allen. They picked up on time and delivered on time. Items were carefully delivered without damage and mine was an interstate move. Amazing communication. Definite value for money.

Great experience, Allen and Alex were friendly, polite, and went to extra mile when moving my grandparents belongings to their new house.

The company provides a fantastic service, would highly recommend.

Allen’s did a wonderful job moving everything for us. Everything they moved remained in pristine condition and they were very quick and efficient.

Allen movers were incredible!! They arrived early, and were so efficient in packing the truck. They were careful in handling our stuff, and put our beds together and installed our washer and dryer. Huge thank you to Allen, Ethan and Matt! You made our move far less stressful and helped us settle into our new place.

Allen, Matt and Liam did our move today. Disassembled and reassembled all beds, bunk beds furniture. Highly knowledgeable and efficient. Very hard workers. Made our move day so easy. Highly recommend.

This was the fourth time we’ve used Allen Moving & Storage and we’ve again had a seamless and stress free move. They packed all our belongings and David, Ethan and Allen completed the move. Everyone was fantastic, professional and hard working. Highly recommend them. Thank you.

Can’t say enough good things about Ben , Tim and the other staff. Could not be more accommodating. A real pleasure to deal with really great people. Will never move with anyone else.

– Michael and Cath. Keilor to the Sunshine Coast

Allen and Ethan did an amazing job with helping us move. They were very professional in every aspect, by taking care of our furniture and belongings as well as being very efficient. Defiantly highly recommend them. Thanks you again Allen and Ethan.

Ben, Tim and the rest of the team are the best! My husband and I booked a relocation move from Melbourne to Brisbane. We couldn’t have been more happy with the service we received. So grateful for the amount of stress and time saved. Highly recommend. These guys are absolute legends!

Second time I’ve used Allens. Can’t fault them. Outstanding service, went above and beyond to source extra help where needed. Will definitely use them when we move again in 12 months’ time.
