The company we have came and did an inventory then quoted us on a 20ft container. The small items were listed as miscellaneous. He said we have about 870 cubic ft of stuff. It's not done by weight. I guess with the new stuff that is already flat, they may want to put it in own package. They will pack it when you want. You pay before they pack. You will have customs the other side which you can't get out of. There may be charges if it needs to be checked or fumigated I would get a few round and chat to them. I felt better once I had chatted to some and they vary in price, we had a 1,500 difference.

I was told I can't take my baskets but I could take my Lloyd loom chair.

Thanks. I have most of this, so once I am out there I will get the WCC. )

Hi Can anyone tell me if as a college teacher in the UK teaching students aged 16 up, do i need to register as a teacher with the teachers board in WA. Or is this not nessasary for this age? Many thanks

Regarding the vaildating docs, we had the local Post office do it and it was free - well it cost me a bottle of wine. We were lucky as we had a village PO who would do the job. I took all docs inc photocopy's and they stamped and dated etc them all. It saved us a few hundred £££

Hi Has anyone been told not to take their fridge because of CFC. We had Whites come and quote us, he stated not to take the fridge as we would not be able to state if it is CFC free.

We had Whites out yesterday and he said the chair would be fine. other wicker would not make it!

Just read the list from quarantine concern.... pots and pans... the removal company never mentioned this, maybe we should leave all here!

its an old lloyd loom, its been painted and worth a fair bit, not sure if i want to take the risk. I have pickfords and whites coming to give us a quote this week so I will ask their advice. The last removal company were not that great so will take their advice witha pich of salt!

I want to take a whicker chair with me - family piece, but the removal company said this could cost at least $500... Has anyone taken anything like this and did it need spraying for bugs? Can you get it done in this country and gain a certificate.. )

I have just spoke with them. she was really helpful.

Hi Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid (if poss) the fines of contracts - such as mobile phones, car insurance Any savings in some of these would be a bonus - as they have you by the short and curlys!!! Many thanks:rolleyes:

I found the want people with a visa in their hand. Have you spoken to an agent yet? Maybe first port of call. Good luck

Careful who you choose, we had a bad agent, I did all the work and running around. I wish we hadnt gone the agent route - would of saved a lot of money. good luck to you.

my daughter's love the idea of lessons in the sea

what type of work do you do? I got through on my degree and work which is a lecturer in early years as for agents, be careful. the one we had was awful. there are some good ones and they always ask for money in instalments. in my experience I would do it myself, only because the company I had was awful and I did all the chasing...it would of saved me a stack. as for the dog, we are just starting the process, Its long winded and costly, it depends on the size of the dog tootoo. I did read on here that quarintine was being put to 10 days from this summer. that would be great.

They contacted me a few weeks after the visa was granted and asked if we would like help with employment... only if you pay £600... ummmmm NO THANKS!! There are planty of MUCH better companies. Good luck
