TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHEN BOOKING VIA Wise Move - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING or Quote Accepting - Updated June 2021

1. All deposits are non-refundable unless the job is canceled by us. This is to compensate for the time and dates reserved specifically for your job. If Truckabout Furniture Movers cancels the job due to unforeseen circumstances, your deposits will be fully refunded.

2. Please ensure your Wise Move inventory is as accurate as possible. We allocate trucks based on this estimate and failure to list all goods may result in additional charges or items being left behind. Last-minute capacity is often sold at a premium.

3. ALL GOODS ARE CARRIED AT THE OWNERS' RISK as per the Carriers Act of New Zealand. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CLAIMS.

4. Goods carried into the property are taken at the owners' risk. We do not accept any liability for damages to the property at either end. We also act under instructions from our Client who has booked us and no one else

5. If you have asked for only 1 helper , please note that our driver work will be under your instructions and any damages occurring whilst loading, unloading or in transit, will be zero claims basis as well.


INSURANCE:

Personal effects, electronics, and household goods are deemed to be transported at the OWNERS' RISK and we do not accept claims pursuant to the Carriage of Goods Act 2015.

Should we be deemed responsible for intentionally damaging or losing items, our maximum liability will be your $200 home and contents insurance excess. You will be asked to file a claim.


We can also arrange Carrier's Liability Insurance.
* Needs to be pre-arranged with us and will incur extra costs, arranged through a third party.
* Maximum Claim for Carrier's Liability: $300 per item (beyond repair) if insurance is added.

Moving Day:
* All removals must be packed and ready to go.
* We do not assemble or disassemble furniture or move whiteware off cabinets.
* Our staff can assist in putting furniture in rooms, but this is done at the owners' risk. No liability is taken. No assembly or disassembly is included.

Television Sets:
Please note:
TVs that are not in a box are not covered by our Goods in Transit insurance if damaged. It is the customer's responsibility to box the TV (WE TAKE ALL CARE BUT).

ALL MIRRORS SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES. WE WILL DO OUR BEST BUT NO CLAIMS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Car / Bike / Motorbike Parts:

We do not accept claims for second-hand parts or fittings.

Chest of Drawers:
All chests and drawers must be empty and not filled with clothes or belongings. This makes it harder to lift and increases the risk of breakage during long trips. No claims will be accepted if boxes are filled.

The boys were easy to deal with. The main guy communicated well in terms of messages per se. A challenge was “we’ll pick up on this date or that date “. I was not in a rush and so was ok with this. It ended up being me contacting them to confirm when the pick up was going to happen. On the day the main driver had some issues. I’m not really sure what. This meant I had to leave home and meet him at the pick up address. By the time he arrive is was over an hour late due to the earlier issue. On the day there was communication but it was vague. I lost about an hour waiting at the address where the pick up was arranged. The guy that eventually turned up was a little stressed and very apologetic. I felt for him. He’d had a bad day. I then pointed out to him that he had a flat tyre on his trailer. That made his day worse! I helped him locate the spare and the wheel brace. But the brace didn’t fit the wheel nuts. The poor guy have to visit the warehouse and buy a new spanner so he could change the wheel. These things happen. Having said all of that the people I dealt with were courteous and professional. The goods I freighted arrived in perfect condition a couple of days later. Hope this does sound harsh. We all have bad days. I didn’t berate or complain and despite everything I would give these guys another go.

Was quite disappointed in this service. I had booked a 40cube truck to shift my house load. The truck arrived almost two hours late and was only half that size. It took two trips to empty the house. I had the people that had purchased my house, sitting waiting to move in and they ended up having to cancel their movers as we were not out until almost 5pm when we should have been out by 1pm. I have now been left liable for their additional storage and costs to reschedule their move.
My items were all clearly labeled as to where they needed to be placed in my new home but most of it just ended up being put in the garage. I have also found some furniture damaged, and items that were labeled as fragile (framed photos) the boxes were crushed and glass broken
There was no communication from Truckabout to say the right truck wasnt coming or that they were running late. What was a well planned out move turned out to be a stressful and costly exercise.
