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.
Packed Boxes:
Please note that the maximum weight for an item is 20kg, according to OHS regulations. Customers often pack boxes that weigh 40 or 50kg, which is not acceptable. In such cases, we will not accept any claims for damages. It is the customer's responsibility to pack boxes weighing no more than 20kg and with a maximum size of 50cm x 50cm.
Packaging:
All goods are to be packaged and ready to go on Pickup Day. If goods are not packaged, we may cover them with moving blankets for the journey, but no claims will be accepted if furniture /item is damaged or arrives dirty.
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.

40% of the full booking cost.

If a ferry has been booked and the customer cancels, they will be liable for the full ferry costs. The above cancellation policy also applies.
