Can you get a photo one done at the post office.... I got a new photo one done there a few months ago.... They do the form take your pic and send it off for you.... Got my new one 3 days later....

I see what you are saying but it still seams like a lot of money for 5 miles.... You would have thought that for 5 miles they could have been a little more understanding as it is a mainly referral business that they are in.... We have just booked a move cube who said the same 30km outside perth then i pointed out it is joondalup around 35-40km and they said that will be fine no further charges....

We used Go Matilda to get our PR visa and would highly recommend them.... I am not saying you can or cant do it yourself but for us we wanted to make sure it was done right first time and as previously mentioned there can be a lot of changes along the way which can get confusing.... it may be worth contacting the agent to have a chat before you start to get some prices.... Then you can make an informed decision.... Good luck

We used Go Matilda.... I can honestly say from the first contact via email with Alan Colette to the visa grant was a pleasure.... It was faultless from start to finish.... I can't remember the total cost for using them which tells me they wasn't expensive or I would have remembered.... Worth every penny....

Never fitted a gas fire in OZ but I would check the specification of the fire ie flue needed, flue run,and also compare the pressure of gas in OZ to UK (don't know if it's the same) as it could be the difference to it working and working safely....

Yes that happened to us and we wasn't pleased really.... doesn't make sense....

I will be sending my tools in a smaller move cube I think as we have more stuff than we thought.... But it will still work out cheaper for the two than a container....

I have had a quote and They take around 86 days from north west UK to Perth.... I have read on here not to send battery drills as they can explode and should be sent as separate hazardous cargo but I am going to check next week with Severn seas.... If you call them they will answer any questions and are really helpful and friendly....

This may sound odd but do you drink energy drinks as a friend of ours had similar problems and it was put down to the drinks.... they stopped taking them and had no more problems.... hope you get the all clear....

Thats great news after a long slog.... Well done

I have 3 kids and my youngest daughter is exactly the same age as Maddie so we felt it very upsetting when it happened and have followed the case as everyone else over the years but we look at the time since Maddie went missing we have had with our daughter and realise just how much her family have missed.... i understand everyone keep going on about them leaving the kids while they went for dinner and how wrong it is but no one will know more than them what a mistake it was and people should focus on finding her and others that are missing and get over wanting to blame them and makeing the ridiculous comments how they shouldn't do this and that.... everyone already knows and is sick of hearing it....

How could that sicko and his sister sleep at night for 22 years.... Makes me sick....

Good luck.... Have a safe flight....

Don't know about the others but we are with NAB and have found them to be great dealing with them from the UK, online and in the branch....

So is it worth taking a copy of my no claims with me.... will I get a discount on insurance in OZ with it.... I have 11 years protected NBC.... Thanks

Congrats on the Visa and the very best of luck with the move....

We are putting our home up for sale in a few weeks now its nearly decorated etc.... we are getting anxious now.... We have decided that if we get no interest in 8 weeks we will just rent it out and go for it.... We are disparate to get there before Christmas.... I don't think we could do another Christmas in this country....

This is excellent advice and exactly what this forum is for.... I agree there is enough people on here who can give sound advice and help you through just ask.... :biggrin:

I have just looked on Parcel Monkey and it is reasonable until you go a little heavier and bigger with the box (70kg 60cm cubed) then it is nearly as much as a move cube....

That does sound good but I would need around £3000 insurance for mine.... does you know if it goes up much for a higher insurance....?

Hello I have just looked on the link and I asked for a box.... 60kg 60cm X 60cm X 60cm full of tools to be shipped to Australia and got prices from....£216 with UPS they say there may be $165 charges at the customs but I think this is very reasonable if it is correct....

Congrats good luck with the move....

I would contact your case officer asap and explain that he does have a conviction.... (dont know what you will say as it clearly says including any conviction removed from records and with it only 4 years ago it isnt like you have forgot about it).... that said i don't think it would stop you getting a visa.... People get visas with much worse records than that but it is usually longer ago and declared on the visa application.... Maybe as mentioned earlier speak to a goog migration agent (Go Matilda) and get help so you don't make any more mistakes or forget something else.... Good luck I hope it works out for you.
