Default Food Stuff In Container

We realise that there are certain things that are not available in Australia, marmite, PG Tips, Walkers crisps and certain make up the missus has just reminded me!! etc. (I'm sure somebody will tell me some of these are obtainable in Aus. but they are only examples). Has anybody stocked up on the items they would miss and sent them over in their container ? I'm aware it can be up to 2 months until you see the stuff in your container so obviously only certain items would be worth considering. I know there are rules about taking certain things into the country but wondered if anybody had thought ahead and stocked up ?

Thanks

Chris

Hey

I have read threads on here where people have shipped stuff. However, I had two shippers round for a quote and both advised not to ship anything as they said if the sniffer dogs find one thing, they'll have the whole container to pieces. So I guess, it is a calculated risk whether you take that chance or not.
