  1. I would rather pay for a good, reliable service than inconvenience family or friends. 

    There are a few of these parcel forwarding companies and I'm just looking for personal recommendations.  

  2. See if you are eligible for salary packaging where you can have all kinds of items inc rent/car payments etc taken from your gross salary so you only pay tax on the remainder. Hospitals have excellent salary packaging schemes. 

  3. So I sent approx 30 boxes of personal effects as part container from NZ to Melbourne at the end of January. The container arrived in port on 17th February. The shipping agent tells me there is a backlog at the port and customs are slow in signing off all the shipments and they can't tell me how long it will take to be cleared and delivered.

     

    Has anybody else waited weeks for their stuff to be delivered from Melbourne port? I desperately need my iron and ironing board cos I'm running out of unwrinkled clothes!!

  4. I've never thought about this before reading someone's story about being charged for ambulance call out. So I did some research and just paid for ambulance cover as I don't have private health care.

     

    You might want to look into this especially if you've arrived recently from somewhere there is no cost for ambulance services.

  5. I've just signed up for the MyPost Parcel Locker. Hopefully this will work successfully as I live in an apartment building with nowhere for parcels to be left securely if I'm not home. The nearest Post Office with these lockers is just over the road and open 24/7 so it seems like a great idea.

     

    Has anybody used this method successfully or any problems?

  6. Has anybody else been in this horrible situation?

     

    After receiving verbal job offer via recruiter with email confirmation, references taken and all good, call from new manager to discuss potential start date, then contract not materialising, and then told that an internal candidate came forward at the last minute and is cheaper to retrain them than to take on a new person. I'm not too happy with this global company's ethics.
