A consignment or con note is the label that needs to be attached to your item/s before pickup. The consignment note has all the relevant details and a barcode which is used in conjunction with our online tracking system. If you have booked online, your consignment is emailed out with your booking confirmation. If you have booked over the phone, the consignment note is normally emailed out the afternoon before collection. Please ensure all information on the consignment note is correct. Attach your consignment note to the outside of your package as instructed. Failure to comply with these requests may result in a missed pick up or futile charges. If you are having any difficulties with this process please contact our head office on 1300888243.

If no one is going to be home at the specified pick up time, you can choose to leave the item at the front door for the dri ver, as long as the supplied consignment note is attached. If this has not been done, and the driver arrives to pick up the parcel, the driver will not be able to collect the freight. The job will then be rebooked for a suitable pick up time on a different date. We suggest you select a pick up location where someone will be there on the day you select, you leave the item at the front door of the address (depending on size/weight) or select a particular time frame for an extra charge for convenience.
When booking your job in, you will be asked (either online or over the phone) whether you give authority for your goods to be left unattended if no one is at the delivery address when the driver delivers. If you give authority to leave, we ask that specify a spot for the drive to leave the goods such as the side gate or front door step.
In the event that you have selected that there is 'no authority to leave' the item/s unattended at the delivery end then the item will be taken back to the depot if no one is at the premises to accept it. An 'attempted delivery fee' of up to $33 will be charged to the card holder. They can then choose to have the item redelivered on a particular day or collect the item from their local depot.
Alternatively, organise for your freight to be delivered to a business address that is open Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm to ensure someone is always at the premises to accept the freight.

If your item is 30kg or more BHF Couriers can still carry your goods however you will need to select the Road Tail Lift option unless your items are travelling from a business address to a business address that has lifting facilities at either end. If not, the driver will bring out a pallet jack or trolley with a specialized tail lift truck that will assist in lifting/unloading your item on/off the vehicle. If the item is a pallet & requires a pallet jack you need to make sure the ground surface is flat, hard concrete surface at both pick up and delivery.
We ask that you try to obtain measurements and weight that are as accurate as possible. When quoting or booking a job you w ill be asked the dimensions (length, width, height) & weight. Make sure you measure the longest ,the widest, and the highest part to ensure we give you an accurate quote. After your item is picked up, it will arrive back to our warehouse, where it gets measured and weighed. If there are any differences that cause a difference to your cost, you will be charged accordingly at a later date. Please note that you are charged for every centimetre & every gram that you send .
