We have weekly deliveries for Trade Me purchases throughout the North Island, and fortnightly deliveries to anywhere in New Zealand.

We have trucks in various sizes, ranging from 8 cubic meters to 85 cubic meters, to accommodate any size of load, from a single item to a 5-bedroom house.

Terms & Conditions:

Our minimum charge is 1 hour, with subsequent charges billed in 30-minute increments. We accept payment via cash, EFTPOS, or internet banking on trucks. Please note that there is a 3% surcharge for all credit card payments.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure safe and secure access (driveway, pathway, parking, etc.) to the property. An additional charge of $60.00 per item will apply for any extra-heavy or oversize items, such as pool tables or pianos. Customers must inform us in advance if they have any items of this nature. Conditions apply

Customers must also inform us of any bridges on the way to the property and any weight restrictions on those bridges at the time of booking. If the access is difficult, we may need to use trailers or an extra moving team, incurring additional costs that the customer must cover.

If you cancel your booking within 7 days for hourly price jobs, you will incur a minimum fee of 3 hours. For fixed price jobs, the full amount will be forfeited. If you cancel within 14 days of your booking, half of the above-mentioned fees will be forfeited. Full payment is required upon completion or before, depending on the conditions outlined above. Failure to pay on time will result in a late fee of $100.00 + GST, with additional charges of $500.00 every 24 hours.

Any accounts in default will be referred to third-party debt collectors, and the defaulter will be responsible for all associated costs.

Unless specified, all prices quoted are exclusive of GST and are for 2 men and a truck. All goods are carried at the owner's risk, so please ensure that you have insurance organized. You must organize your own insurance.

The company does not take liability for any broken glass or non-functioning electrical appliances after transit, unless they were factory-packed.

If a second vehicle is used in a small truck or trailer due to limited capacity or weight restrictions on a bridge, the hourly rate will apply, and all additional costs will be charged to the customer, regardless of it being a fixed price or hourly job.

If the service is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, the company reserves the right to delay the customer's booking by up to 2 hours without waiving any fees. If the delay is longer than 2 hours, the customer will be notified, and an agreement will be reached at the company's discretion.

Any misconduct or unacceptable behavior towards our staff members may result in the termination of the customer's booking at the company's discretion.

Refunds, if applicable, will only be issued to the same bank account from which the payment originated.

The Contracting Party will be and remain responsible to the Forwarder for all its proper charges incurred for any reasons. A charge may be made by the Forwarder in respect of any delay in excess of 30 minutes in loading or unloading occurring other than from the default of the Forwarder.

Such permissible delay period shall commence upon the Forwarder reporting for loading or unloading. Labour to load or unload the vehicle shall be the responsibility and expense of the Contracting Party or consignee and should the consignee described hereon not be in attendance at the address given during normal trading hours when delivery is attempted an additional charge may be made at ruling rates for each call until delivery is accomplished.

LML does not remove items physically attached to the house or dismantle items unless agreed prior. Please make sure items are ready for transit. Unless prior agreements have been made, items are generally taken as presented and only secured via straps and packed with moving blankets. Please ask about our packing service for more options.

6. VEHICLE TRANSPORT
In addition to furniture removals LML also utilises the tow bars on our trucks to tow caravans, trailers and boat trailers, and our own Car Transporters, on behalf of clients.
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, accommodation, 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 LML reserves the right consider the load forfeited and will leave the vehicle at the repairers until repairs are completed.

The “Road Legal” requirements above do not apply to self-propelled vehicles, which are generally able to be treated as “Freight”

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.

Please note we do not provide vehicle insurance and client provided insurance is mandatory before LML commences a job. LML's maximum liability in any circumstance is $400 or the client’s excess, whichever is lesser.

7. GENERAL LIEN
The goods are accepted subject to a general lien for all charges due now or in the past which may hereafter become due to the Forwarder on any account. If the lien is not satisfied within 7 days of such payment becoming due the Forwarder having given notice of the lien may at its option either:-
remove such goods or part thereof and store them in such place and manner as the Forwarder shall think proper and at the risk and expense of the Contracting Party; or,
open any package and sell such goods or part thereof upon such terms as it shall think fit and apply the proceeds in or towards discharge of the lien and costs of sale without being liable to any person for damage thereby caused.

8. CLAIMS and INSURANCE
In the event that this contract specifies a requirement for insurance the Forwarder as the consignor’s agent will at the cost of the consignor arrange with a lawful insurer insurance of goods. The limit of the cover provided by such insurance as arranged by the Forwarder for the Consignor shall be the amount specified on the face hereof and the following exclusions will apply:-
All claims resultant from wear, tear, moths, vermin, damp, mildew or loss of market, loss damage or expense caused by delay or inherent vice or nature of the subject matter insured.

Gradual deterioration rust and/or oxidation unless due to or consequent upon fire collision overturning or other accident to the conveyance. AND such insurance shall be otherwise on the terms and conditions normally offered for such class of business by the underwriter with whom such insurance is affected PROVIDED HOWEVER that the said limit shall not be construed as an agreed value.

The agreed value shall be the amount representing the value of the goods as invoiced by the consignor with a limit in any event of the amount specified on the face hereof, PROVIDED FURTHER that any amount received by the Contracting Party under such contract of insurance shall be applied in extinguishing the liability of the Forwarder hereunder.

9. HAZARDOUS GOODS
The Company will not, except in terms of special arrangements previously made in writing to the Forwarder correctly setting out and describing the goods as required by Law, accept or deal with any noxious, dangerous or inflammable goods, or any goods likely to cause damage, or which it is unlawful to carry. If the customer delivers such goods to, or causes such goods to be handled or dealt with by the Company or any sub-contractor or agent, the consignor shall be liable for all loss or damage whatsoever caused by or to in connection with the goods howsoever caused or arising and shall indemnify the Company, sub-contractors and the agents against all penalties, claims, damages, costs and expenses whatsoever arising in connection therewith, and the goods may be destroyed or otherwise dealt with at the sole discretion of the Company, the sub-contractors or any other person in whose custody they may be at the expense of the consignor without the Company, the sub-contractors or such other person being responsible or accountable for the value thereof.

10. SHIPPER/CONSIGNOR/CONSOLIDATOR DECLARATION
The Contracting Party will confirm acceptance of the goods described herein for forward/shipment for which the above information is declared to be correct.
It is declared that the packaging/s used is (are) of an approved type, labelled or stencilled to indicate the name and class of the goods and the nature of the danger, and that the goods are packed in accordance with all applicable carriers requirements and governmental laws so as to withstand adequately the ordinary risks to handling and carriage by the transport model/s stated above.

In respect of sea voyages, the IMO International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code including Annex 1 shall apply, in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1960.

11. SAFETY
LML 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 discuss alternatives.

LML understands 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.
This will usually result in a job/booking being forfeit.

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.

Please note that while we can arrange cargo insurance for transit on your behalf, this cost is not included in any quotation unless explicitly specified

Failure to have home and contents insurance is strongly discouraged.

TTL's maximum liability in all circumstances is $500 or clients insurance excess, whichever is lesser.

In the event of a mechanical failure requiring more than 24 hours downtime TTL 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.
