    Exactly! No guarantee and a good shake of a fridge or a washer could damage them. On gumtree my daughter has had goods that are practically new. Like here you can buy a property where all the goods are included anyway. How do you know that space between the units is the right size for your imported fridge. Gumtree is far more popular over there some real bargains to be had. A friend sold her spare bedroom furniture which had been used about twice because she moved into a house with fitted wardrobes etc so another friend of mine then bought it at bargain price. I am only taking personal possessions, clothes,favourite pictures,ornaments,bedding,towels, some kitchen stuff etc. I have done research, looked at prices on visits and of course will wait for the sales. I very rarely buy here at full price ? To leave big items over here/there in storage for months to me is a false economy,it's not cheap, and at monthly rate times for however long storage? I am torn between my own home or granny annexe so, until I'm there, I won't know what I need.

    Yes! That's the problem you don't know what type of home/size etc. All the appliances could be fitted ?

    Can only see this info https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/Rules-for-specific-transactions/International-transactions/GST-and-imported-goods/ and this also https://www.thecurrencyshop.com.au/business/a-guide-to-importing-goods-into-australia Value of goods by Customs is the equivalent cost to buy in Australia

    Strange I was told white goods cheaper there! Also,you have to add cost of shipping and as you say tax. You need to be able to change the plugs also,some have a mounded plug attached.

    Are you 8 weeks behind? A teeny bit of light at the end of the tunnel for you, but you won't need sunglasses just yet!?

    Supposed to be for completion by 34mths. If you look at @Catlady2014 timeframe at bottom of her posts. Give you an idea of times when things have been lodged/competed etc., At least you are on the home run unlike a lot of us ?
  7. Kathss56
    Think I would leave it near the time. Visa's seem to be changing fast who knows what the waiting time will be and at what higher cost, which is highly anticipated. You could always message Alan Collett at Go Matilda, free first consultation I believe

    @nyorksgrannie @Geoffandgill @NanaJan Great you are all making the move. Hope you will all keep in touch and update us all on here best wishes to you all ?

    They say they have taken away 355 staff from visa and citizenship since start of financial year! Dam it!
  10. Kathss56
    Can you take dogs over if you are going out on a 600 visa?
  11. Kathss56
    And now I have just read this. So disheartening! http://www.australiaforum.com/information/immigration/waiting-times-for-australian-visas-could-increase-immigration-boss-admits.html

    Feeling very subdued in Manchester this morning after the terrible tragic events. Makes me desperate to be with my daughter also!

    The parent visa office address is on the bottom of email -in Perth
  14. Kathss56
    Can only find this Brenda at the bottom of the confirmation email you have from immi when you first applied its say complete and submit form 1022
  15. Kathss56
    34mth queue now ? Nice to know we can go over on a 600 if needed, which they say officers are encouraged to grant ?
  16. Kathss56
    Also,the visa for up to a year is the 600 visitor visa
  17. Kathss56
    Ask this question on The Brand New PIO parent visa thread maybe?
  18. Kathss56
    If you are going to apply for 143 do it sooner rather than later as many of us suspect a steep rise in fees! current processing has now gone to 34mths
  19. Kathss56
    I too have container shipping through work. Maersk Line. My memory seems to tell me about £4K for a 20' or was it a 40' ?
  20. Kathss56
    Yes, I think they will increase the 143 visa cost significantly, in the hope people won't bother and do this new one! Therefore, we could just be luckier than we currently think!
  21. Kathss56
    Me too. Also,which staff are going to process the new one. Doubt they have employed any extra staff! I guess many more of us will go over on a 600 if needed to.
  22. Kathss56
    Here's hoping this new new parent visa makes a slight dent in it. Even if only a couple of months. Fingers crossed!
  23. Kathss56
    And the 75% completed in 33mths has now gone to 34mths! Groan!
  24. Kathss56
    Thank you! I love the fact that those of you in receipt of a PR visa and have moved over, still keep posting on here.! Very comforting and reassuring for us all in "the waiting room"
  25. Kathss56
    I was thinking the same. By the time I need to submit at least I will have done the last 4-5yrs just to Australia ?? ?
