Thanks for the tip. Will do

Having recently made the dream move from the UK to a life down under we did the usual comparisons for all that you can imagine including shipping. We had 3 companies to give us quotes and finally decided upon ***** ********** and received our inventory and quote for a 20ft container. The guys arrived little later than expected on the day of packing and informed us not to dismantle all the agreed wardrobes kids toys etc etc as all would fit into the container no problem. We were even more alarmed that they left at lunch time insisting all was in hand and packing all our goods into the container the following day was the easy part. They arrived the following day and resumed packing. We were later astonished to find 20% of our goods would not fit into the container and would have to follow on a shared container at a cost of a further £1000 this was not negotiable and if not paid the goods would not be sent and could be collected if we so wished which was a lit sick as we were of course emigrating to Australia. Having tried several times to make a formal compliant we were just fobbed off with we obviously had more furniture than listed. Please be aware of misleading information to get your business and then show no compassion or consideration on the follow up customer service call Mod note. * This post has been edited to remove the company name for legal reasons.

Hi, We applied for a Business Innovations Visa 188 for South Australia and Submitted our application on 26th Jan 2015 along with the application for state sponsorship through the SA immigration site, we did the state sponsorship application ourselves because the questions asked are very personal to us but we have employed an immigration company to handle the overall application to ensure no errors. We did receive a request for medicals and police checks which were returned on 7th March. Since then nothing but i guess that in the grande scheme of things this is nothing. Hope all goes to plan.

Hi just picked up your thread and was interested how you are progressing. We also have applied for a 188 to SA. Applied on 21st Jan and was requested medicals pcc on 14th February since then nothing. Regards
