most advise say, Take everything! Wardrobes are pretty much useless as most homes have in builts. As for the electrical stuff, dont change the plugs, get some extention leads and change the plug on that. A lot less hassle!

Search at the top of this page for shipping/shippers and everyone has had something to say on the subject. Click on search and type in subject and happy reading, be warned there is lots of it. Worth looking at it all though.

Hi,
If you are using a 20ft container, fill it up, doesn't really cost much more and worth it, it is the excess stuff not shipped in a container that costs a lot, or you have just too much then prioritise and leave the crappiest stuff.

Cheers

Fill the container up!!! But don't expect to get your TV picking up Aussie programms cos it won't unless you have had it modified. We brought a telly that is stand alone, purely for our heaps of videos and DVD's that we brought over. Good luck!
