oh yes

To be serious ...once these people have spent the time dismantling it...and cleaning every inch with Jeyes, and then made sure the container is big enough...it's hardly worth it.

I know, gotta take half the wall with me.

Seriously, take your trampoline with you if you wish, we are only kidding. Personally, I would do a bit of research to see the cost of them in Oz. Then sell yours on ebay in the UK. You dont want to get to Oz and have nowhere to put the one you've took.

Smile Re: Trampoline - Take or Not?

Well our trampoline( 14ft) is all scrubbed and ready to be packed next week, yes it was a pain in the backside scrubbing every little fold but at the end of the day it's for the kids, They love their trampoline as much as I love my three piece suite so why can't they take it??? . What's the point in selling your good stuff at crap prices and then paying full price again in Oz for the same ( maybe even poorer quality) thing .

Personally I think the more of the kids toys and personal belongings that are packed the better, they don't understand and don't want their toys to be sold off and given away .

Doesn't cost that much for a little bit of jeyes and elbow grease

That's ironic, 'cos you've spent more time on here posting childish banter than I ever would cleaning my precious trampoline with Jeyes fluid! Doh! Get a life

Got to agree.

Our children were thrilled when our container arrived - it was just like Christmas
(Just as well since we missed it this year )

Plus once you've made the decision to pay for a full container (we got advised not to bother with part shipmenets) you might as well fill it!

We got one for our 12 year old at Christmas and her and all her friends love it. They are on it all the time. best thing we ever bought. A 12ft one with the surround is about $500 to buy. Personally I think that if you know you will buy another one over here and you have room in your container then you might as well bring it.
