Re: Moving to Oz
I have been checking out the postage costs compared to ours and still, the main problem I see is not so much the postage costs but the price they charge per item is well above what we charge, I am still trying to work out why that is.
I had a bricks and mortar shop here but I closed it as I felt that online was making more of a profit and retails on the high street is dying here. Do people still shop on the high street there or is it mostly done online, as I may just stick to that and keep my costs down.
On another note, I am wondering how much money I would need from the start on this, I have been trying to work this out on how much they would expect me to have and if I would need to hire Australians which I intend to do whats set up, as I have so much stock here at the moment it is going to require a warehouse when I bring it with me and I need this running and then of course there is the shop/s I will open if the market is there.
Is this area good for shoppers http://www.realcommercial.com.au/pro...erth-500172956

Yes and no
Samsung TV. Many retailers selling them so lot's of competition and prices are good - certainly generally cheaper than the UK
Toyota Corolla. Many dealers - well priced and you can get good deals
Tin of baked beans. Few retailers, little competition and prices are high

Re: Moving to Oz
On another note, if for whatever reason the visa does not work out, I know my uncle and aunt cant sponsor me in the normal way, but can my uncle sponsor me to go and work for him as a locksmith, I have no experience but I did do the MLA course just in case it was only 5 days resident and its the highest level of training you can get here. Long shot I know but he said he would do anything to help me get there

Re: Moving to Oz
My wife had a really good question though, what can she do while im on a 457 visa can she work?
My Dad just asked me as he is trying to get out, although I said wait to see if I go as I could sponsor him first, but he wanted to know if his job, Manager of stores at a brick manufacturers for over 10 years is like anything on the list? He knows a bit about Engineering through working there but has no qualifications with regards to engineering

Oh I know they would be like wtf?! but what I ment was if he was to really hire me and I was to work for him, I dont mind as my wife could run the business while I earn money doing that???

Secondary applicants on the 457 get full working rights.
