Hi everyone,
There are 3 different subjects/questions here, please bear with me. I will be most grateful for your advice.
By the time we get make the move, our 6 ft (1.80m ish) tall larder fridge will be 13 years old.
It’s a lovely fridge (not fridge freezer) as I bake and cook a lot and I make all sorts of stuff, a smaller fridge was not suitable.
We also have a large chest freezer, about 1.90m width and a tall freezer 5ft 1.50 m tall. we have an allotment and buy meat in bulk.
I would like to ask please, to all of you, who have successfully made the move and shipped their fridges and freezer and other white goods, washing machines, tumble dryers, etc over:
Did the appliances make it there alright?
Do they work without problems? ( I read somewhere that because it’s hotter over there, the fridge and freezers from the UK market don’t cool/freeze down enough for them to be of any use- sounds like nonsense to me, but it may be true…..) so it is not worth taking them.
I’ve heard that white goods and most electrical are very expensive.
Should I take my small kitchen appliances and hairdryer for example? I know plugs would need to be changed.
The hoover?
Could you kindly please let me know if the rule ‘you must have owned the item for longer than one year’ applies to ‘everything’? i.e. from a slow cooker to a bed or a 3 seater couch? Does being small or large make a difference?
Would I need receipts to prove their age? I am fussy with my stuff and I keep everything clean and looking their best, so for example my small kitchen appliances are quite new looking and clean.
Where could I find an official list of what I can take and not take?
I have perfume for example. My family knows that I like perfume and I get these as birthday and Christmas presents, I have quite a few bottles. Can they be shipped or does it depend on the company that we hire to ship?
Sorry to ask so many questions ;o)
Thank you SO very much everyone!!
