Car Transport

Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 – Limited Carriers Risk
This means that load carrier is not responsible for damage, theft or vehicle contents. This extends to while in transit, parked or stored. Unless in the unlikely event we are at fault, our insurance covers up to $2000 incl GST for any liable damage only.
All non-runners and pre-damaged vehicles are relocated at the owner’s risk.
We recommend having comprehensive insurance cover in place (Normal full car insurance) and ensuring your policy extends to “in transit between places in New Zealand”. This covers your vehicle when using a professional transport provider, by definition a company with a Transport Service Licence

Moving should be affordable for everyone, so we aim to keep our prices fair and reasonable.

(a) The services contracted under this agreement shall be undertaken “at limited carrier’s risk” (pursuant to the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017) hereinafter referred to as “the Act” unless:
the Contracting Party or their agent has stipulated on this or any other document relating to the carriage of the goods that “these goods are to be carried at ‘owner’s risk’.” This means that the Carrier will pay no compensation to the Contracting Party if any of the goods are lost or damaged unless it can be proven that said damage or loss was intentional; or.
there is a written agreement, signed by the Contracting Party and owner, stipulating that goods are carried at the “owner’s risk”.
(b) In either case (but subject in the case of a contract “at limited carrier’s risk to the limitation contained in Section 259 of the Act)
the Forwarder shall not be under any liability, howsoever caused or arising and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) whether as a result of the negligence of the Forwarder or otherwise for any damage to, loss, deterioration, mis-delivery, delay in delivery or non-delivery of the goods (whether the goods are or have been in the possession of the Forwarder or not) nor for any instructions, advice, information or service given or provided to any person, whether in respect of the goods or any other thing or matter, nor for any consequential or indirect loss, loss of market or consequences of delay; and
the Contracting Party will indemnify the Forwarder against all claims of any kind whatsoever, howsoever caused or arising and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) whether caused or arising as a result of the negligence of the Forwarder or otherwise, brought by any person in connection with any matter or thing done said or omitted by the Forwarder in connection with the goods.
With this in mind, please note our prices do not include insurance cover as we strictly cart at “owners risk”. Please discuss with your home and contents insurer if your policy includes goods in transit.
Failure to have home and contents insurance is strongly discouraged

Failure to safely and properly package or label or to fully describe any goods as aforesaid shall render the Contracting Party liable for any loss or damage whatsoever caused to or by such goods and acceptance caused to or by such goods and acceptance of the goods for carriage without discovery of any such defect or lack shall not exclude or diminish any liability on the part of the Contracting Party.
The Forwarder may charge freight by weight, measurement or value, and may at any time re-weigh or re-value or re-measure or require the goods to be re-weighted, re-valued, or re-measured and charge proportional additional freight accordingly.
QUOTATION SCOPE
Please note all jobs are quoted with a maximum load and unload time of two hours at each end. Should we exceed this time due to access issues or another reason beyond our control we reserve the right to charge $99 per 30 minutes this is exceeded.
Please ensure your inventory is as accurate as possible. We allocate trucks based on this estimate. Failure to list all goods may result in additional charges or items being left behind. If you are concerned please contact us prior to job commencement to discuss. Last minute capacity is often sold at a premium.

If you have contracted us to tow a trailer or any other vehicle, it is mandatory that it have a current WOF and Registration, insurance with our driver listed and be in a condition to handle cross-country travel. In the instance of a mechanical failure or breakdown, we reserve the right to contract a third party for repair to have it to a safe travelling standard, and any costs (mechanical, accomodation, overtime and waiting time due to delay) will be passed onto the client. In the event of a mechanical failure requiring more than 24 hours downtime GD&S reserves the right consider the load forfeited and will leave the vehicle at the repairers until repairs are completed.
Forfeited jobs are considered completed and as such full payment will still be expected, along with any wait times. A new job can be booked if the client wishes to resume transport when repairs are made.
If you have bought the vehicle or trailer sight unseen, these costs will still fall to you and it will be your responsibility to pay and deal with seller for any dispute over costs. Our 7 day payment standard applies to these costs. It is strongly recommend having a third party inspect the vehicle prior to job commencement in these instances.

SAFETY
GD&S strives to comply with all aspects of the Health & Safety Act. As result we may politely decline to undertake work which has a degree of unacceptable risk. This includes moving items off balconies with rope, and any other job that staff onsite deem as unsafe. Any unsafe act is reported to a Supervisor or Managing Director who will assess risk before contacting client to dicuss alternatives.
GD&S undersatands moving is a stressful time. However a zero tolerance approach to abuse or violence of any kind is in place in our workplace. Our team have been instructed to leave any situation where a customer is verbally or physically abusive or if they feel threatened in anyway.
We understand moving is a stressful time, but please be kind.

Unless a request for packaging or installation has already been arranged we do not remove items physically attached to the house or dismantle items. This needs to be done beforehand unless we are advised prior and have agreed to prepare for this. Items are generally taken as presented and D&S reserves the right to refuse unpackaged items, particularly fragile items we feel are at risk of breaking or being marked due to our “owners risk” stance.

Please note all jobs are quoted with a maximum load and unload time of two hours at each end. Should we exceed this time due to access issues or another reason beyond our control we reserve the right to charge $99 per 30 minutes this is exceeded. Please note all jobs are contracted on the understanding that payment is due within 7 days of job commencement unless directly arranged at time of booking. Failure to pay within the allocated time will incur a $49 administrative fee per reminder phone call made.

Failure to pay within 30 days will result in your invoice being sent to Marshall Freeman debt collection with the cost of this being passed on to the client. D&S are not liable for any charges or replacement movers due to being delayed. Traffic and ferry schedules and staff illnesses are largely outside of our control and while we do our best to meet deadlines, some delays are unavoidable. We appreciate your understanding.

D&S have a zero tolerance approach to abuse or violence of any kind. Our team have been instructed to leave any situation where a customer is verbally or physically abusive or if they feel threatened in anyway. We understand moving is a stressful time, but please be kind.
