kde2014 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 As my list of things to do/ take grows are there any major things which you miss most about the UK (other than friends and family of course!!) from a point of view that you can't get it/them in Australia or just way to expensive?? Just getting shipping quotes and weighing up price of shipping versus buying in Aus. Any comments gratefully received..... My son is concerned that we won't get PG tips and digestive biscuits!!!

Maruska Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bag full of electronics - laptop, desktop, phone, tablet, you name it. Our laptop is about to die and I`ve discovered that the price is twice here than in the USA . Can`t order on Amazon because these items are not eligible for international shipping. Going to Europe in winter/summer lol and have a big shopping list for my BIL who is coming from the USA to meet us there. Children`s shoes would be another one. They always wore Stride Rite and here it`s about 30 $ more per pair. Just paid 220 $ for 2 pairs of sneakers and 1 pair of mary janes. In the US this would have cost me 110 $.

Bungo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 There is nothing I wish I had brought but didn't. I did bring a full container with all my things, but there is nothing I wish I had stocked up on. Australia has goods. I always thought as I am moving, I will accept whatever goods Australia has on offer, just like millions of Australians do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
