2013 Windup
I must admit I will be glad to see the end of this week! We moved the Autohub office on the weekend, which was a Major undertaking shifting Servers, Telephone systems and 14 computer stations with printers attached. The move went well, but we have been plagued with telephone issues since.
Due to damage occurring to roadside cables, (just our luck!) we don’t have any land-lines operating, and all incoming calls to the office, and DDIs are now diverted to a single mobile phone. Please accept our apologies if you are having difficulty getting hold of us, but it is totally out of our control, and may continue for a few days.
We would appreciate general enquiries coming by email rather than phone, and you will probably be replied to sooner that way.
Due to work-load, we are all working 12-14 hours a day. Ports are congested, and so are the roads. This happens every year, so we shouldn’t be surprised. We are simply doing our best to make deliveries as seamless as possible for you. Autohub will be working on all work-days over the holidays, but be aware that shipping schedules are disrupted over the Xmas period. Ports and Transporters have reduced staff and services will be a little slower than normal.
If you have vehicles arriving, and you are on holiday, please make suitable arrangements with us now. If we can’t get hold of you, then you may have vehicles placed into secure storage until you return. Extra charges will apply.
UK Shipping:
It is Christmas time again in the UK and so we have to be aware that sailings and receiving at Felixstowe, our UK container port, will be disrupted.
Last sailing of 2013 is Saturday 21st December Maersk Taikung And last receiving of vehicles will be Tuesday 24th December, 12.00 noon
Due to depot closure and inspection requirements, this means the first sailing of 2014 is Saturday 11th January effectively meaning that there are two weeks with no vessels departing. Please can you let your vehicle pickup company know of this and you should allow for the extra time in your expectations on delivery in NZ.
Finally, I want to express my sincere thanks to all those who chose to use AUTOHUB this year, and wish you all a Great Xmas, and prosperous New Year.
