forwarding mail via post office
I thought you maybe interested in this great service, when I left the UK I arranged via the post office for my mail to be forwarded to Australia for a period of one year. It cost approx £60.00. The great use has been when I have ordered things off the net like bed linen etc etc from Laura Ashley and smellies from Moulton Brown, I get them sent to my old UK address and the post office send them to Aus at no extra charge....how good is that...it is one great service!!!!!!!!!!! I have saved many many £££ and $$$$$$

Depending on the value of the parcel, Aussie customs may charge you import duty & GST (if they intercept the parcel). Bit of a bummer if you paid VAT in the UK and then have to pay GST on top!
