rammygirl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Agree with Nic. Treated feathers are fine, although one shipper told me I couldn't take mine. Needless to say we didn't use them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unzippy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 What a good idea for a topic, maybe it could be pinned at the top of the page? Contents of kitchen cupboards - cans, bottles, spices. Am I good to ship those?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adele244 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 So PSS told me I could take tea bags and sealed spices and aerosols. John Masons told me I absolutely couldn't! Who to believe???? Or do different shippers have their own rules? Although I thought it was the Aussies that made the rules on what could come in. CONFUSED.COM!

Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 At the end of the day you could probably bring them in as most are allowed if under 1kg of weight. However, by bringing items in like this your container is more likely to be checked which will cost you more than what the tea bags are worth.

Fortunately they are on line so I can import. Can't get Indian coriander, ground cassia, podded cardamom seeds, the list goes on, in the UK supermarkets.

Catlady2014 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 What's the rule on jewellery? I was told jewellery can't be included, not even inexpensive items like silver earrings. Surely everybody owns some jewellery that they would want to include in their shipment? What about watches? Are they classed as jewellery?

Costume stuff yes in container, anything else, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule of thumb is if it is valuable and /or of sentimental value carry it with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlady2014 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thank you @snifter and @ScottieGirl, that's cleared up some confusion. I was under the impression that jewellery was not allowed in any shipment, but that's obviously not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well, it may be the case with your shipping company. I would think its because of the risk of claims being made and them being small items etc and hard to perhaps prove. So they say no regardless. You could call round and see what the policy is for others. And also contact the independent shipping insurance companies and see what they cover or not. IIRC I put a few bits of costume jewellery in shipping without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 In a container not an issue. Just make sure it can't leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 3 hours ago, sualg said: Can I take a big bottle of Fairy washing mashine detergent as I don't want to chuck it out? Buy some cheap plastic boxes/small crates and put things like washing up liquid, bubble bath, shower gel etc in those.If they do spill at least its confined!

sualg Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I was going to shove it in the drum of the machine, hopefully that will contain any spillage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 17 hours ago, sualg said: I was going to shove it in the drum of the machine, hopefully that will contain any spillage I'd be wary doing that as if it did leak, it could go through the machine. As has been said, best thing to do with any bottles of liquids like that or shampoo, stick in a plastic tub with a lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zs123456 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hi is it worth taking "everything", I have a range cooker and would love to ship it. Do people generally take all household items, such as washing Machines, fridges etc or is it more cost effect to be selective and purchase items when you arrive? Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest241083 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 ........I would bring your range cooker .........they are expensive over here .........though check connection compatibility... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
