Comments
Port Terminal Handling Fees: It is recommended to pre-pay DTHC / Port Terminal Handling charges where possible as it is often much more cost-effective than at a local level. Should Palmers Relocations pay these charges, it will be invoiced back to service agent at cost plus a 10% administration fee on invoice.
*** Please note from 1st December to 15th January we have a peak season surcharge of $500 per LCL/AIR shipment, $1000 per 20' and $2000 per 40' container.
