Default Shipping household goods ?

Hi folks
1st post on this site so would like to introduce myself . Im Andy 30yrs old single moving to NSW on Sunday 19th June.
Already have a job on fantastic pay. Just looking for some advice really ....


Im back in the UK sorting my household goods out till the 19th before I fly out permanently to OZ but I have a question I would like to ask .

I have rented a house near my work but it only has a small garage so i have limited space in which to store things. I know some of you are about to say put your stuff in a rental lock up if you cant fit it in your garage . I would agree with you there yes , however I am on a 6 month probation period with work and don't want to ship things out that I wont initially need as there is no point. After the probation period when I know I will be sticking around then I will ship everything out.

My question is this ............ I will be shipping my car and some of my posessions such as household stuff, clothes, tools straight away but I was wondering if there is a set time limit for new people emigrating to ship their goods or is there a limit on containers ? sounds a daft question but I know I only have 6 months from permanently moving to ship my car and was wondering if the same applies for personal posessions ?

Thanks in advance

There will be a set limit on shipping your car, and that is a whole other topic.

Not sure about household stuff, but have a look here:

Customs clearance | australia.gov.au

Good luck!
