Import a gas fire?
We are looking at putting a gas fire into our new home - one of the contemporary ones built into the wall. Anyway, we are shocked to find they cost about $5k minimum. But, a search on uk web sites shows they are about a tenth of the cost. So, is there any reason why I can't just buy one from the uk and have it fitted in Oz?

Have looked at that. It's about $200 to get it approved.

Looks like no impediments then - If the cost differential is as you suggest then you should order one, and then we can go into business importing and undercutting the local offerings? S |

Question is should something go wrong would the house insurance cover it?
