Rosiejaq Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 14 hours ago, Marisawright said: Before you decide to leave everything behind, do a trial shop online to see what it will cost to replace everything in Australia. A medium or large Movecube usually works out to be worth the investment, even if you’re bringing stuff that’s a good few years old. Try petersofkensington.com.au for pots, pans, crockery, cutlery. Thegoodguys.com.au for whitegoods and electrical. HarveyNorman.com.au for furniture. If you’re in your sixties like me, you’ve probably amassed a collection of decent housewares over time and don’t realise how much it will cost to replace with the same quality, so a trial shop is a good reality check Thanks for the suggestion, but we don’t have much as we live in tied accommodation! So will probably send clothes over in advance and the few things we do want to send...keyboard, table and fishing rods...in some other way!

All the best with the move etc...we hope to get there this year Sorry to hear about your mix up with Aos. Here is our timeline, Request for documents : 13 February 2019.( Form 80, Pcc certificate, Medical exam and colour copy of the passport. Request for documents: 13 February 2019. AOS . Medical , pcc . form 80 and passport copy sent to home affairs 19th march 2019. AOS : My son in law lodged the Aos 21 February 2019.There was no interview but when he got the request to pay he was on holidays. That was around May 1st 2019. He deposited the money at the Commonwealth Bank on 6th may 2019 but still got a letter that his Aos application had been rejected because he had not paid the required bond. He had to make few phone calls and had to go into centre link to clear the matter. Finally he got a letter on May 30th 2019 that his Aos lodged on 21 February 2019 had been accepted.

Marilyn Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) @CEJ Its difficult to say due to the time difference my daughter did the payment in Sydney around 11:00 time and the email was sent to me UK time 06:57 it worked out as 4 hours @Kalil BPAY - there are very clear instructions at the bottom of the invoice on all the options how to pay with your unique Invoice number. Very easy - some have surcharges and some don't - we went with no surcharges. Edited July 25, 2019 by Marilyn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
