...condiments, dry pasta, herbs, spices, oils etc. Things you would find in a larder...if you know what I mean??

My folks are visiting today so I'd like to know what to give them - probably easiest just to give them everything and start over huh??

Pollyana

Easiest to give it all to them - but make alist first! That wayn you'll know what you need to replace, before you find yourself thinking "I wish I'd bought some of THAT this week"

MightyMouse

Thanks Pollyana - I've just handed everything over to my folks..cupboards are now bare

Next question

Can we ship cleaning products..washing powders..dishwasher tablets..medicines etc etc?
Oh - and can we ship a box of chocolate? And I mean...a BIG box filled with chocolate I know we're allowed to carry it over in luggage but wondered if I could fill some units with foot long bars of Dairy Milk ;-) Or would it melt? Hmmmm...probably - Perth is hitting 40 next week according to the BBC website

And another addition - pot pourri?? Allowed??

Pollyana

Don't think theres a problem with cleaning gear - wouldn't worry if the bottles are open though.
Chocolate is fine - just remember to stick it in the fridge when you get here.
And medicines - stuff like flu plus and Piriton and Beechams - yep, fine, leave the in the boxes so if they inspect they can see what it is. If its all over the counter stuff you should be OK, declare it on the customs form but I've never had problems either shipping or bringing in with me. You can get Lemsip here if thats your particular favourite
