Default Buying furniture online?

Does anyone have any links to somewhere I can get prices of furniture in Oz?

I'm just goin thru the 'what to take' and 'what to leave' and want to see what stuff will cost to replace in Oz.

I've always been under the impression that if what your considering is of decent condition and quality, then take it! ... but seeing what the shippers will charge to ship individual items, some of them I can't help but think I'll leave em!

I dunno, £217 to ship a double bed. Will it cost THAT much more to buy out there?

Ok, there's beds and there's beds! ... (really?! ...lol) ... but you know what I'm sayin.

Cheers

Some links to ponder over. If you find ABC's website there's a few links.

Hi

I went onto the Australian yahoo page and pressed shop.
Alot of good prices as we are not taking our washing machine or fridge freezer.
Hope that helps.

Happy New Year
Beth
