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 we are unable to deliver any import shipments from 1 December to 15 January due to military contract commitments
