I just got a quote online from Seven Seas - £197 for 8 medium boxes by sea. However, buried in a separate section called 'Quote Details' it says there is a charge of £100 at the other end for 'inspection', which is 50% over and above the stated cost. What worries me is that this charge is hidden in terms and conditions, and really easy to miss if you just click the much larger 'Buy Now' button. It also worries me this is the attitude of the company rather than being honest about it. Just wondered about other people's experience with them? Thanks

I won't need one, but partner will be working as a doctor, so definitely will. So frustrating as I can't really see a good reason for the restriction - the way they spoke about it on the phone was like an immutable law of the universe.

Hi We're awaiting our TRN number, which apparently will take up to 14 days (we're going on a sponsored 457, and the hopsital that's sponsoring my partner has a lot a red tape I believe). However, we'd like to go off travelling while we're awaiting a decision, and the only thing we need to be physically in the UK for is the medical (having sorted out all the paper work). However, all the 'Panel Physicians' I've called have resolutely refused to even to let me make an appointment without a TRN, let alone the medical itself. They keep saying the 'can't put it in the system', whereas I don't see why they can't keep the results of a medical locally and upload them once we've got the TRN. Any ideas?

Hi I am moving to Sydney in February with my partner (who has a 457 visa/job lined up, so I don't need sponsorship), and therefore need to find work. In London I have primarily worked as a software engineering in investment banks (foreign exchange trading), usually as a contractor - can anyone here from a similar background share their experience finding work in Sydney? I also thought about applying to Google or Atlassian, as they are two well respected software companies. Marcos
