Lavers Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 We just scrubbed everything and wiped it in jeyes fluid. I'm not even convinced that they moved anything in our box, as the way I packed it seemed untouched. Anyway leave things like tools and bikes at the front so they can check them easily. I wouldn't worry about pollen going on things after cleaning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJoe Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Please don't laugh. But can I take quite a large Ammonites fossiil that I have since I was a boy? I presume as long as it has been well cleaned this should be OK? Edited October 10, 2021 by BigJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may want to inspect shell/rock items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought two dinasaur dung fossils over with our shipping , no problems, mind you we did not declare them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJoe Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi again, I know Australia is strict on bring wood in, but I presume frames pictures that have a wood frame will be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this won't be a problem. The important thing is to just itemise/label any boxes clearly stating the contents. In this case, picture frames (wood). My belongings just arrived a couple weeks ago and we had a lot of wood items. All got through OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laf Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I've just started researching what looks to be a nightmare on how and what to take. One company said our TVs need to have wooden boxes to transport them at a cost of £250 each! Is this the same with all companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I packed my sons in a box altered to fit and made sure screen was secured with nothin touching it. Then packed in move cube. No issues still works fine. The cube was fully packed with any gaps filled with cushions or towels. Nothing could move inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you don't want to pack them in a wooden box OR their original packaging, leave them behind. They're only going to arrive broken otherwise.

The tuners are different here - you might not get all the channels (if any?) 2. If it's a smart TV most of them can't be changed to a new region. You might be stuck with the British apps that you can't use in Australia and unable to install Australian apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unzippy Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The TV will work fine in terms of picking up channels. If you have a smart TV the apps will probably be an issue - they were for me. Not too big an issue, plug in a Chromecast / AppleTV and off you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours were fine, just well packed by the professionals I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
