benandkelly Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi all, Does anyone know whether its ok to ship things like pine wood dining table & chairs? Also we have a couple of canvas wardrobes which have bare wood frames. Would these be ok to ship or would Aqis stop them? Any help much appreciated Ben & Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help much appreciated Ben & Kelly Hiya We had the shippers in for a quote last week and they said that if it's treated wood it's fine but bare untreated wood isn't.

I reckon that would probably be fine - if I were you I would just give them a quick touch up with wax. The shippers will be able to advise you though.

benandkelly Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks. Company have already started their nomination! I was a bit worried as i work in electronic security and you have to be licensed in oz. I have a police caution which was bothering me as I didnt know if it would stop me getting a license but I've had confirmation today from WA licensing services thats its not a problem. So now I'm VERY happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Just to return to your question regarding wood - AQIS advised me the normal wood furniture , picture frames etc are fine. Antique furniture should be free from borer ( woodworm I guess ?). Garden furniture should be throughly cleaned with something like Jeyes fluid. Don't ship grass or wicker . . the costs for gas treatment is A$176.00 or radiation around A$385.00 ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
