Dyson and other electricals
Hi BEP’s
I am thinking of taking a brand new Dyson DC25 with me from UK still boxed to avoid damage.
I have looked in online stores in Oz (Big Pond) and another I can’t remember.
In OZ the Dyson costs approx $830 plus $20 delivery which I work out to around 505GBP plus delivery.
From Amazon UK including UK delivery it costs 227GBP.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but unless my figures are way out that is a hell of a mark up more than double in fact.
Are there any other electrical items or anything else in fact that you guys that have already made the move would advise taking with us rather than waiting to buy out there.
I might as well fill the container to the limit.

Re: Dyson and other electricals
We bought out a brand new Dyson in it's original box. A lot more money here sadly. Electricals are expensive here so if you have room in the container bring what you can. Only thing I wouldn't bother with would be a brand new fridge/freezer but if you have an old one then bring it, always useful to have two.

Have recently had to buy a couple of spare parts - very easy via dyson.com.au
I also upgraded my Bosch washer and dryer before I came out.
To put it simply bring as much as you can - electricals, books, clothing, etc.
Very little here is cheaper or of the same quality.

Overall, I reckon the price of electrical goods is similar to the UK - some cheaper, some the same, some more expensive.

Re: Dyson and other electricals
I so wish id brought my Dyson, your right they are expensive here probably as uprights are just not that common like in the UK.
Be wary of shipping it in its original box though, if customs pick up on it being new you will be charged tax as everything you ship out should be over 12 months old, unless declared.

I wish that I had bought a condensor tumble dryer before moving here. They are very expensive here. Even the normal tumble dryers are expensive

Re: Dyson and other electricals
A quick search online gave me a price of $659 plus delivery for this item. Not quite as cheap as the UK but not as bad as your price makes out. Also being armed with this info and negotiating with The Good Guys, Retravision etc will probably enable you to get it cheaper still.
Overall, I reckon the price of electrical goods is similar to the UK - some cheaper, some the same, some more expensive.

Thanks for your reply, could you tell me where you searched for that price
