vicky2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 HiI would appreciate advice on people's experience on shipping goods that are wood and the costs that they paid for treatment .Trying to decide what's worth shipping over . Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Only untreated wood you need to be concerned about, if you have any. Most stuff is already treated anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieRed Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Oooh I'm interested in this also. Literally the only piece of furniture I want to bring with me is my great grannies linen box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Oooh I'm interested in this also. Literally the only piece of furniture I want to bring with me is my great grannies linen box. I shipped an old blanket box. I cleaned the metal hinges and lock to remove any rust, repainted them black and then gave the wood a light varnish (that I have now removed the other end so its back to its original look). You could pay to have it treated and get a certificate to show its been done. Or pay the Aus end if they flag it up and require it to be treated. Will cost a fair bit though.

rammygirl Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Any sign of woodworm or insect activity on it will raise alarms. Even if the damage is old. Otherwise it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
