A security bond of NZ$250.00 is required for all rentals* and is refundable on completion of the hire.

​

Please keep in mind that your estimate is based on the following assumptions:

• Ease of maneuverability of large furniture/couches in out and around both locations

• Ease of access for truck parking proximal to doorways

• Wrapping all furniture in blankets/shrink wrap

• All personal effects boxed up and ready to go (the more loose items, the longer it will take to load and unload)

• Three story homes take quite a bit longer as stairwells are typically tighter and getting furniture up and down can take much longer

• Elevators, both freight and passenger, add time to both loads and unloads as we can only pack so much in the elevator

• Drive time between load and unload assumes minimal traffic. Rush hour and/or accidents may slow us down quite a bit (as well as back roads w/ low clearance bridges!)​

• ​

CLAIMS: All damage claims must be made in writing via email within ten days after delivery and accompanied by a paid receipt as proof of purchase. The damage claim must include pictures and a description of the alleged damage. We have the right to inspect and repair any alleged damage, and if we are not able to do so, we have the right to hire a service professional to make the repairs.
