3 months in - having such fun in Melbourne but it's turned decidedly nippy now. May have to buy some jumpers - we're still living in the T-shirts and shorts that we originally brought with us 'cos our shipping company went bust and all of our belongings were stuck in Dover for 2 months!! Disaster. And the original shippers went bust after we paid them so no chance of retrieving our money from them. It's all supposed to arrive in a couple of weeks with another company - hoorah! Thank god we paid by visa who have re-imbursed us with all of our original shipping payment (including insurance cost) so we're not out of pocket. Tip of the day to all those emigrating to the colder climate of Oz...MATT SABIN SAYS PAY FOR YOUR SHIPPING COSTS BY VISA...
Hope this is helpful...

Thanks for the tip. Karma sent! I might have paid them directly from our bank account via internet banking, but will now pay them with visa. Good tip!

Cool. Definitely, definitely, definitely don't pay them with an internet transfer - you'll have no come back should anything go wrong. Glad this bit of advice has helped someone...and hopefully others...take care and happy shipping...
