Bobbsy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, a couple of things to think about: First off, unless you ship your tools 2-3 months before you fly, they won't arrive until well after you do. If you're lucky enough to get work quickly, you might need to buy new tools anyway. Second, how many power tools do you have and are they set to work at 110V via a transformer on building sites? If so, be aware that the standard for sites here is 240V and no transformer. If neither of those are factors, then it probably comes down to the relative cost of shipping vs. replacement.

kimsdu Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We are shipping 8 boxes of tools with Sevenseas costing £436 thats by Sea so it will take 80 days for them to arrive, This is ok by us as we are having a months break and we are sending the boxes 1 month b4 we arrive so will only be waiting a few weeks for them really. Tools are pricey in OZ compared to what the shipping costs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
