I've got to say, Chelly, we had this idea too!! It didn't last long once we priced up replacements (and quality of replacements compared to similar priced items in UK). We have opted to buy new here whilst sales on (and unfortunately for some companies...like Land of Leather..they've gone into administration...meaning bargins are to be had!).
We were looking at a table & 4 chairs here last wk at £270, in FURNITURE BAZAAR in Perth the EXACT same one is $1199!!
I know there could be a tax on new items... so that's something to remember! But after thinking long and hard and doing a lot of research we have gone for buying new here keeping in mind that Oz houses are BIGGER!! I can't move in my lounge for this MASSIVE suite (some of which is in the dining room!!)...ha ha! And the 50inch plasma looks ridiculous!! The super-dooper-king-sized bed won't even fit in my house and is still at the shop!!

but each to their own...and if you look through some of the shipping threads people have given advice and links to companies who will ship/fly a few boxes for you!

Good luck! Lisa,xx

Fantastic cheer's Lisa.

I suspect that we may change our minds (when I see we I mean my OH!) but its always good to get others opinions
