Furniture And Freight Distribution Group

At FFDG (Furniture and Freight Distribution Group), we pride ourselves on providing seamless, reliable, and secure transportation services across New Zealand. Whether you’re moving household or commercial items, car or shipping freight, we offer solutions that are designed with care, efficiency, and affordability in mind.

We provide our quotes based on the information provided. Apart from the quote details provided, please read the following terms before booking:

1. For any house/office moves and furniture relocation and general freight movement, where prices are quoted based on information provided by the customer, Furniture and Freight Distribution Group reserves the right to modify prices as a result of incorrect volume, dimension and/or weight or access conditions e.g. stairs or balcony varying to those quoted by the customer at the time of booking. The Customer should notify Furniture and Freight Distribution Group if there is not suitable and convenient access to the place from which the goods are to be removed. The movers can make an extra charge due to any access restrictions and will not be liable for any goods damaged through the lack of such access. Undeclared redirection, multi route, or additional manpower not requested, storage, etc. will incur extra charges.

2. There will be an extra charge for any extra heavy, oversized item such as double door fridge, vault/safe, spa pool, pool table, commercial items, etc. It’s the customer’s responsibility to inform Furniture and Freight Distribution Group prior if the move includes any item of such or similar nature.

3. If Furniture and Freight Distribution Group notices that goods are not safe to transport and may cause potential damage to either the item being moved or other items, including the vehicle, the company reserves the right to reject acceptance of the item/s.
4. Our designated arrival time is to be considered as a guide only. Various factors can affect our arrival time such as unexpected delays on previous job(s), delays caused by traffic congestion and/or accidents, roadworks and/or closures, streets not on maps and/or incorrect directions supplied by customers, weather, truck breakdown, etc.

5. Obtain at your own expense, all documents, permits, and licences necessary for the removal to be completed. It will incur extra charges, if our team has to wait for any documentation needed from your end.

You will be asked to file a claim.

8.

There will be no liability for damage to the goods packed by the owner themselves. If any glass or fragile item breaks unless factory packed, or electrical appliances fail to operate after transit, the company does not take any liability.
