We moved back here to do a Engineering contract 4 years ago and will be returning to Brisbane in the new year. I am also living in Bristol and can only back up what MotherofMatilda has said. i am more negative than she is on the UK and i spent most of my time working in Spain if it was me i would stay put maybe try another state?

I am about to do another move UK to OZ i have done a few in my time due to work. I have never insured my goods, I understnd the risk and seen the horror stories these insurers sell you but in the long run it is all replacable besides sentimetle items which you wouldnt get back anyway the % chance of loosing everything is tiny.... put that together with an industry that employs people to try and get them out of paying you. Just throwing that out there

This is real problem and really annoys me to. The problem is it is not regulated and the government use sites like Seek for there job advertising figures so have no real incentive to stop this behaviour. Brisbane seems really bad for it.

To little!!! the creep should have 5 years.

we just spent 5k on half a container, we sold most of the big stuff and got new stuff in the UK our thinking was it was worth upgrading (new technology) and getting UK new warranties and guarantees. We brought washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge,TV (although i did upgrade the TV) dinning room table and chairs and lounge suit. I still think i did better than shipping it over plus the furniture is far better quality. The disadvantage with Half a container is you half to wait for it to be full before it leaves we phoned our movers the other day and our stuff is still in Brissy. They hadn't bothered letting us know. Typical pay up front and thats were the service stops crowd
