HI, not sure if you are still doing this, or whether you can help us, as we are thinking about taking our car from Australia to the UK, not the other way round.

Its a 2010 Toyotal Corolla Ascent, manual, air conditioned, electric windows, 90,000 kms, Brand new worth $20,000, resell value $9,300-10,500.

Hi there,

 

We just moved back and had our 2 cats and 2 dogs flown back from Brisbane to London.

 

If if I recall the rabies jab only needs to be done about 6 weeks before, maybe less? Ours had theirs in October and flew in January.

 

We used Jetpets and they were absolutely brilliant. I couldn't fault them. They were really friendly and very helpful, I had to change the date of the animals travel but they did not mind at all. The man who collected our babies was lovely and even sent me a photo of them all just before they boarded and let me know that they were checked in with no issues. I had told him that I was concerned that my old dog wouldn't pass the vet check and I didn't want to get on our flight without knowing that my babies were safely onboard there's!all the animals arrived safely at Heathrow, they were all relaxed and happy, even our very nervous cat. The pet carriers they use are really large, they had far more room than we did in our seats .

 

good luck with your move.

Hi,

Thanks for that! I've just booked them in for their jabs, and the vet told us the same, that was such a relief!! I really didn't want to leave them behind, even if it was just for a few months. We are going in April, and have no leeway over that.

I'm happy to hear about Jet Pets. I am getting quotes from them and @Dogtainers Pet Transport

Its such a long way for them to fly! Poor things!!

Hi,

I'm looking for up to date advice re: exporting our animals from Brisbane to UK.

Firstly, any idea how long ago they need to have had the rabies jab? I'm seeing 21 days on some websites and 6 months on others.

Secondly, which pet transporters would you recommend?

Much obliged

Cut them off. Simples.

 

Then strip back the wire to suit the UK plug.

Seriously? Its as simple as that??? Cool!

You can change plugs on all electrics and it all works fine, better to change plugs than use adaptors as they are only meant for temporary use with lighter load appliances which do not require earthing, tv's will work with a set top box or if they are used with sky or virgin so do take them as you get nothing for them second hand

How easy is it to change the Aussie plugs? They are all molded aren't they? They are nothing like the UK ones with fuses etc?

Is it worthtaking electrical equipment to the UK from Oz? Is it easy to change the plugs, or is it better to bring some strip plugs and a coupleof adaptors?
