Buying UK Appliances and Shipping Over to Aus

Can anyone tell me if they have ever bought and shipped appliances over to Aus from the UK. Even considering shipping it seems to be a lot cheaper than buying here.

 

I was looking to buy these items:

It actually works out to be about $3500 less than buying them from over here, just worried about shipping and warranties and stuff?

 

Anyone got any experience with this or recommend any companies to use in the UK who have experience with this?

 

Thanks

Surely one of the main points when making any large purchase is the validity of the warranty. It would be difficult to operate a Worldwide guarantee, even on small appliances.

Also, new items shipped into Australia would generally be subject to local taxes.

I also endorse AOL and they will price match with any retailer Australia wide. We had a great deal on a fridge a little while ago.

Yes I also like appliances online although their postage costs to the FNQ can be ridiculous. They keep saying they offer free delivery but then that's only in certain areas.

That cooker on the last link is beautiful, but $28k :err:

 

We have sold our white goods with the house so had been debating whether to buy new here and ship. But the warrantee thing seems like a real headache and then there is the goods less than 12 months old tax ect, so we are going to wait. I will check out Appliances Online based on the good reviews here :cute:

Yes the warranty seems to be an issue and i didn't realize i would be subject to local taxes, any suggestions on where i can find out about the taxes?
