Hi all

I had a visit from the pickfords man friday, quote is in the post.

I wanted to bring my fairly new Delonghi oil filled radiator (posh one, with a clock on) but I was told that it would be a fire hazard in the container, not allowed.

My dad bought his Nissan Navara pickup (ute)over in a container, no problem with that.

I forgot to ask the pickfords guy about a diesel generator I am planning to buy, it will be crated and not have any fuel in, does anyone have any knowledge about shipping this sort of item?

I will ask the movers tomorrow & let you know.

Phil.

ps one more quote to come next week, I'll post the results here

We were told we could take our delonghi radiator with us.

Hi

The generator will be ok as long as there is no fuel in and it is boxed/crated, although it has been pointed out to me that GST will be charged on it at %10, I will be able to reclaim VAT at %17.5

You may need to pay import duty as well as GST. Rates vary so you would have to check the customs website. SOme items are exempt from import duty, and it all depends on whether customs spots them!
