Mainfreight is Reachmedia’s national freight provider. Their size and coverage mean our product is delivered on a Mainfreight vehicle as opposed to a variety of sub contractors over which we have little control.
Through our relationship with Mainfreight, Reachmedia’s freight solutions will ensure that your product is in the right place at the right time. We have access to one of the most comprehensive transport networks in New Zealand. Mainfreight’s fleet of line haul trucks, vans and urgent courier vehicles also provide us a high degree of flexibility to recover any miss-sorted product in a timely fashion should it be needed.
In our experience, distributors receiving product on time significantly increases the opportunity of delivering this product early within the delivery window. Mainfreight provide us with this point of difference.
Our experience with Mainfreight has been nothing short of exceptional since they came on board in July 2009. They measure delivery timeliness and have never been under 99% since they started.
The price you pay for any applicable Reachmedia freight solution is made up of two components; a base freight charge and a Variable Fuel Rate (VRF) percentage. The VRF changes from month to month as it is linked to the changing cost of diesel. We apply the VFR that applies on the date you book in your distribution.
You can calculate your total freight solution charge by using the following simple formula: Base Freight Cost + (Base Freight Cost x VRF) = Total Price (excl GST) The August Variable Fuel Rate is - 3%
