Guest kinglouis Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey, I have been reading the different threads about shipping tools out to OZ, can anyone confirm that they have to be in mint condition? I am a Plumber hopefully heading out very soon to Melbourne. We have completed our police checks and medicals and are just waiting to see if our visa is going to be granted, if any one is out in OZ and can confirm one way or the other about shipping tools and if it is worth it that would be cool Many thanks Sean .

Lazy Cow Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 OH's tools* were old and far from glistening, and they got through without any problem. This might have been luck, or it might be that we are cleaner than I thought!:no: It's worth taking sensible precautions. Customs are concerned about nasty 'things' being imported along with garden/work tools, which is great, not that they look brand new. OH was discussing the quality of tools here, and he's glad he brought his (has heaps, doesn't use even 1/6 of them!). Tools made here are just not as good apparently. LC * Why does that word make me titter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fat Boy Fat Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I always keep my tool clean just in case someone wants to inspect it. Lets face it nobody wants to have or use a dirty tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 a bit of both for us ,,majority in the container for weight reasons,and for a good excuse for hubby not starting to work straight away i think !! Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
