Herbster Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 G'Day: The Removers are in Thursday, April 24 so we are up to our eyes in Organized Chaos!:swoon: We've disinfected, cleaned & painted our outdoor tools, etc, stripped down the push bike & sanitized... Given the plants, food & drink away, wardrobes, exercise bike, tvs, & my push bike (too heavy!) all gone to friends & family... :wacko: So of the little we have left (lol!!!) we'd like to ship it, weird stuff like WD40, cleansers, things from under the sink & out of the garage, my numerous comfy duvets & pillows... What are YOUR experiences of moving home to Oz??? And how do we get it there safe? Also, how do you declare your stuff - we can produce an inventory, will that be enough - (Like we haven't filled in enough forms!!) we've supplied requested details of wood items - is there some other Aussie form we need???

The Broughtons Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 As your removal guys pack the boxes for you, they will produce a brief inventory of what is in each box e.g 43 China, 72 Dvds (the numbers relate to what box it is!). Well that was our experience with John Mason. There were a few boxes that I packed that they simply put inside another box with other stuff that I did a personal inventory for. When our stuff was in transit we were asked to complete a quarantine form so we looked at it and found we'd already completed it and the removal company should have received a copy. So I don't think you're going to have to fill in a detailed inventory of any kind. We had declared our wood and had nothing else to declare. Just be wary of packing half full bottles of things - I gave my Mum and my sister all my aerosol products that hadn't been used, all my bottles of bubble bath and shower stuff that were half used (I liked variety) and I also stocked my sister's house with cleaning products! Hope my waffle helps a little Herbster, Felicity:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 We brought duvets and put them inside our bedding box, like Lesley we used John Mason, anything we had packed ourselves (like winter clothes in holdalls - they put in a box with their logo, id sticker etc., and added it to the inventory).
