All business undertaken including advice, information or service provided by the Company shall be subject to the conditions set out and each condition shall be deemed to be incorporated in and to be a condition of this Agreement between the Company and the Sender of the goods. These conditions cannot be changed either by oral, written undertaking or promise by any employee of the Company before or after receipt of these conditions. Goods are accepted subject to the conditions stipulated by all other carriers, sub-contractors, handlers and any other parties into whose possession or custody they may pass to finalize and deliver goods that come into their possession.
The Company reserves the right to transport the goods received from any Customer and/or Consignor by any means at its disposal and may use any carrier to perform its duties.

The Company is entitled to use independent parties to perform any of the functions required for completion of its duties. The Company shall have no responsibility or liability to the Customer and/or Consignor for any act, or omission of such third party even though the Company may be responsible for the payment for such third parties charges. The Company however reserves the right to, at its sole election, take action on behalf of the Customer and/or Consignor should the independent carrier fail to carry out its duties suitably. The costs associated with taking such action would be for the account of the Customer and/or Consignor and are payable on demand.
The customer shall be obliged to give any instructions to the Company timeously and in writing in order to afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to comply with such instructions, but the Company shall be entitled, but not obliged, to act on oral instructions alone. If there is a conflict between any oral or written instructions or between the various written instructions themselves, or in the absence of instructions, the Company shall determine the course to be adopted, in its sole discretion, having regard to the Customers known requirements, if any, and if not it is recorded that Overnight Service shall be the default service selected.

The Company shall be entitled to recover its charges and/or expenses including those incurred acting in terms hereof.
All quotations,rtes,tariffs and surcharges are subject to withdrawal or revision by the Company at any time. The Company shall be at liberty to revise all quotations,rates,tariffs or surcharges with or without noticing cases where the Company's costs are affected by any of its suppliers and may do so without notice to the Customer. Charges are calculated on the basis of either actual or volumetric mass, and for purposes of rating, the greater of the two calculations is deemed to be the chargeable mass for the purposes of measuring the volume, mass and/or dimensions of any package. The measurements as calculated by the dimensions machinery and/or company representative will be regarded as conclusive proof of the volume, mass and/or dimensions of the package so measured. Only written quotations provided by the Company will be valid.
If any goods have not been accepted or collected by the Consignee and/or its nominee within a reasonable time after the tender thereof, and for the purposes thereof notification to the Consignee and/or its nominee of the fact that the goods are available for collection or that the Company is willing to deliver the goods shall be deemed to be a good and sufficient tender, the Company shall notify the Customer at its domicillium citandi et executandi and, after the expiration of ten (10) days from the posting to that address of such written notice and unless the Customer shall give the Company instructions to redeliver the goods, at the Customer's expense, the Company shall be entitled and authorized irrevocably and in re suam, to sell or dispose of the goods and retain from the proceeds the charges, expenses and costs incurred in the carriage thereof.

Any charges that may be incurred by the Company in respect of the storage, sales or disposal of the goods and the compilation of any documents relating thereto shall be incurred on an attorney and own client scale.
If it is necessary for an examination to be conducted by the Company in respect of any discrepancy in the goods which are landed from any vessel, aircraft, vehicle or container, no responsibility to comply with any regulations, laws and/or obligations pertaining to the goods remains that of the Customer and/or Consignor, notwithstanding the contractual relationship between the Company and Customer and/or Consignor.
The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or deterioration of any goods.

The onus of establishing the conditions of the goods at the time of delivery thereof by the Company shall rest with the Customer and/or Consignor. Without limiting the generality of the aforegoing, the Company shall be entitled to delay the dispatch of any goods or expedite the date of dispatch if they, in the sole discretion of the Company, consider it necessary for the safety of the goods or if, in the sole discretion of the Company, there is a backlog of goods with higher priority and/or any other reason.

When sending your Goods, there are several easy steps to make sure your goods are more secure and easier to transport:
South Africa is a large continent. Your goods may be handled many times by many different hands before it gets to the end destination. Please ensure for your benefit that the box/carton you choose to package your goods in is the correct size for the item you are sending. There are different sized boxes for a reason. Choose a box that has enough room for your item and some protective packaging. Also try and package heavy items into smaller boxes (preferably double-walled boxes) and lightweight bulkier items into larger boxes.
The box/carton must be sturdy and robust and preferably 'corrugated' with flaps intact. Never use boxes that are damaged, thin, old, worn or damp; and never use fruit boxes or miscellaneous boxes from a supermarket. If in doubt, try your local storage company (e.g. Kennards, Millers, Storage King, etc) as they also sell packaging materials and boxes.
Don't make the carton too heavy. This may cause issues in a few ways:
If it is a heavy carton, mark it as 'HEAVY' in bold writing and write the weight next to it. For Occupational Health and Safety reasons, most transport companies require a maximum liftable weight per item of 17kgs. If you have a carton weighing more than 17kg, consider breaking it down into 2 items (each less than 17kgs). Businesses may consider strapping a carton heavier than 17kgs to a skid (i.e. a small version of a pallet), enabling staff to utilise forklifts to lift the item. If you cannot break the carton down, you should have someone available at the pickup and delivery addresses to help the driver load/unload the item.
If you still have the original box for a product then it is recommended to use it. Especially if you still have the original polystyrene protection that came with the box (as this packaging was specifically designed to protect the product).
If you have to re-use an old box, make sure that all old bar-coded labels or address labels have been completed removed to avoid sortation issues and delays to your goods. Also ensure there are no holes/tears or corner dents that could ultimately weaken the box during transport.
When sending your goods around South Africa with a courier/freight company, your items will be handled numerous times before they arrive to the destination. There are major differences between a furniture removalist company and a courier/freight company.
Furniture removalists generally take a full load from your home/office to the destination in the same truck. Your goods may be handled 2-4 times from pickup to delivery.
If you are sending across South Africa (or even within your state) with a courier/freight company, your goods may be loaded and unloaded anywhere from 4-15 times in and out of up to 5 different trucks or rail containers. Hence it is extremely important to package your goods well for the rigorous journey that they are about to take.
A sturdy box/carton is your first requirement, then the way you package your goods is also important:
Don't overload the box with too many items or too much weight. It's always better to package multiple items individually (if possible) and use more than one box if required. This way each individual item can receive the benefit of proper protection from packaging material and the box.
Sending equipment such as DVD players, TV's, computers and electrical equipment is best sent in its original packaging and box. If you don't have this, then you can purchase packaging material and boxes from storage companies such as Kennards, Millers, Storage King, etc; or look for 'packaging companies' in your local town. Bubble-wrap is a must for sensitive or fragile items.
If you don't want to go to the expense of purchasing packaging material, a last resort is to use shredded paper or scrunched up newspaper. The problem with this type of packaging material is it does not hold its shape and can become compacted during transportation. This creates a void inside the box which can jeopardize the integrity of the box and make it more likely to become crushed or open-up during transit.
Whatever packaging material is used, ensure there is enough cushioning material around the item/s so they don't move if the box is shaken or bumped. A recommendation is to cushion with at least 5-8 centimetres of packaging material all around the item (fragile items require more cushioning). Quite often during a long journey in a truck, there will be 'shunting' when the truck stops. Cushioning is very important to stop shock from the outside, passing through to the contents causing damage (this is especially the case for fragile items). A recommendation in the transport industry is that all items are packaged to withstand a one metre drop.
Proper closure of the box is essential for safe transportation. Use a 'wide' pressure sensitive plastic tape (this can be purchased from storage or packaging companies). Do not use masking tape, Scotch tape, duct tape or string. When taping the box, ensure you go all the way around the box and along the seals (particularly for re-used or old boxes) to stop the box opening during transit.
When you have packaged your goods ready for transport, the next step is to address them correctly to ensure they arrive at the destination and on-time.
Firstly if the goods are fragile, ensure you mark the carton as FRAGILE with either coloured Fragile Tape (which can be purchased from packaging supply stores or stationery retail outlets like Officeworks), or write FRAGILE on the box in a distinctive location with a coloured marker pen. You want your item to 'stand out' so sortation staff in transport depots notice your goods and its fragile nature.
Secondly if you are re-using second hand boxes, make sure there are no old address labels or old barcode identifier labels on the box. This will lead to confusion with sortation staff/drivers and will delay or cause issues with your delivery.
Depending on the transport company you use, most will require you to complete a consignment-note/docket for the delivery. The consignment-note is the vital piece of information the company needs to effect correct delivery. You will need to complete information such as:
Consignment-notes will usually have a:
These days, nearly all transport companies will have a barcode on their consignment-notes to enable tracking services for customers. Although the promise of tracking exists with many carriers, the actual truth is that many small towns in regional or rural areas aren't tracked electronically due to small depots and agents not having 'hand-held electronic scanners' available to scan the consignment-note barcodes. Although this means electronic tracking is not always available, most carriers have other 'manual' manifest systems available in these regional areas to inform customers of their goods whereabouts or ETA if required.
If you have more than one item in a consignment delivery (to one receiver), place the consignment-notes/labels in the same place on each item, especially if all items are identical. This makes it easy for the sortation staff in depots to know where to look for the receiver address as they are sorting freight. Do not place the consignment-note/address label over a seam or closure or on top of sealing tape. It is also a good idea to add a sheet of paper with your name and phone number and the receiver address inside the carton in case the consignment-note/address label on the outside of the box comes off during transit.
