fridge freezers
Can anybody tell me if you are allowed to bring fridge freezers to Oz from the UK. I have read on here that people have brought them but the company I am using to ship my belongings say that you can't.
Thanks
Thanks

Hogwash........you certainly can(they try and spin you a yarn about the cfc gas story but virtually all recent model units are cfc compliant)........although,a large volume of ppl decide not to take "white goods" if they are oldish as they prefer to replace for new once in OZ due to possible mechanical damage in transit!

Here are a couple of links for Aqis that tell you what you can/cannot bring to Aus. Hope they're useful
