How you can help our transport team
With large volumes of freight moving around the country in preparation for these long weekends, please be advised there may be some delays over this period.
Please give us at least 2-3 days’ notice of your requirements, especially for inter-island freight and heading into the statutory days.
If possible, we ask that non-urgent jobs be postponed during the periods below.
All freight must be clearly labelled with 'Consignment' and 'Receiver' details.
Accurate gross weight must be declared for all consignments regardless of configuration.
If multiple pallets are sent, they must be numbered against the total number of pallets (e.g. if sending five pallets - 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, 4 of 5, 5 of 5).
All packing slips for end receivers need to be securely attached to the pallet and not handed to the drivers.
We ask that you please stick to the cut-off times for placing orders and not make any amends afterwards.
From the team at Hall’s Group, we wish you a safe and enjoyable Easter period and Anzac Day!
