Hi, I am flying with Singapore Airlines in a couple of weeks, I emailed them asking about the extra allowance, They responded saying so long as I had a unused relevant visa I could have an extra 10kg of baggage, I have printed the email just in case I need to show it.

Hi, Thanks, I had a shipping container sent over in the summer, and my brother decided to buy new kitchen items,they went over in that containment, this is an additional hob for his kitchen.I have sent him the links you posted on here,

Happy New Year t :smile: Hope next year is full of exciting times for you

Hi, 2 of my daughters went over on a WHV one way ticket in May, they didn't 5000 in cash or savings and were not asked anything regarding finances

Hi, Thanks for the reply, Item is a new single gas hob, so it would fit in my carry on case, just not sure as to whether I would be allowed to carry it onboard.

Hi, I am due to fly out in a few weeks, I have a full packed baggage allowance, My brother lives in Brisbane and has asked me to take out an item for him, it weighs 10 kg. Does anyone know affordable options on getting it there

Many thanks

Hi, I booked direct with Singapore Airlines, They allowed me to take an extra 10 kg So 40 kg hold baggage in total + 7kg cabin baggage, I have printed of the email response I received from them

Hi, My friends live in Kirwin. I have visited several times and it's a nice area, they haven't had any problems, I am moving over in January ( my hubby there atm ) and have asked my him to look at Saunders beach and Bushland beach area, Pallaranda is also lovely.

Hi Marynyho,

Do John Mason give you a tracking option? They never told me I could do that! Wow really no insurance, knowing my luck something will happen. I think mine is going in a shared container. Thanks for your response.

Yes, we were able to track the ships, then the container into warehouse, was quite exciting, The insurance issue is a very personal thing, and each to their own. We did a lot of reading on the issue and most of it regarding claiming if something went wrong was negative, I obviously am not advising do this, as don't want to be getting told off on here, but luckily for me, all's ended well, good luck with your move and regards insurance, do a lot of research before deciding on a company and parting with your money, lots of interesting threads on here re insurance

Hi, Marynyho,

Our shipment 20ft container, arrived exactly as the schedule said, We tracked the ships, there was a change over at Singapore, all the way to Brisbane. Regards insurance, after reading many threads about it, we decided to risk it and not buy it, luckily we haven't had a problem, so risk payed off,

Hi,

I leave the UK in January,my husband and daughters are already there, I decided to wait until the time my dogs can leave, My husband arrived in Townsville, We have friends there, he got himself a job within a couple of days, so looks like we will be living there for a while, All our furniture is now with my brother in Brisbane, he is going to store it until we have a house.

I would have been happy to have relocated to Townsville or Brisbane,as have visited both several times, We shipped with John Mason, container left the UK 11th October arrived in Brisbane 15th November, cleared customs and delivered to my brother on the 26th, no problems.

Hi, I recently booked my flight with Singapore Airlines, I emailed them with regard extra baggage allowance, Their response was that so long as I had not activated the 189 visa I could have an additional extra free 10kg hold baggage allowance. My husband has already flown over, his flight was with Quantas, all they offered was extra baggage for a reduced fee.

Great post, Always interesting to hear how others are settling, could you please keep updating especially regards your dog, I leave for Oz January same time as my dogs, they are also going through Golden Arrow, it was your previous write up that swayed me, I will be very anxious during the time away from them.

Let's hope there's more of you out there opening the same e-mail. Fingers crossed. :wink:

Congratulations, best of luck to you : )

Congratulations amitm

:wink:

Thanks for responses, I have watched the video, At the moment I have fully comprehensive cover for my dogs, so will definitely be looking closely at the small print in any policies I look into when they arrive. Thanks for the heads up on who to avoid Pumpkin

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good pet insurer, would like to have my dogs insured as soon as they arrive in Oz, Thanks ​

just in case anyone else is in the same situation as me applying for a visa with an older child, there is hope, we were granted our visa this week including my 20 year old son, so for us it was always worth the risk and extra effort to have our family all together, happy days

Sharon Taylor, My daughter was also 20 and in Australia, she too was added on our permanent visa, well done, really chuffed for you x

I packed 3 large black bags of coat hangers, looks like I already saved most of my shipping cost on them alone at that price :wink:

I just got a Direct Grant email :-)

Congratulations, chuffed for you :wink:

I got the Golden Mail this morning.

Its a direct grant. Brisbane Team 33.

We are so happy. Its such a relief to finally have it!!!

Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Woop Woop... Congratulations, happy Days :smile:

Hi, We decided to take as much as we could, I like my furniture and the things I had, also would have only got a pittance for it if I sold up here,We booked a 20 foot container and rammed it full to the brim.Aside from the cost of buying all new to the quality of what I had, the shipping cost was worth it.

Very happy to hear you had your grant kellyv, best of luck to you :smile:

Sooo very happy and relieved for you,:wink:

Hi, I don't want to be misunderstood and advocate lying, I just made a choice and decided to omit the cancer, I obviously would not have made a claim relating to cancer,and decided the cost of a return flight outweighed the extra expensive the insures were going to charge, this was for the American trip. I also took out insurance where I did declare cancer and had to sign a waiver to say that If anything cancer related should happen on a trip I would not be able to claim for it, but the rest of the insurance was standard.

It really is unfair as to how a insurance premium can sky rocket as soon as you put cancer on a form, I made my decision based on my type of cancer and prognosis,I also spoke to many other cancer patients who had the same dilemmas.
