Had a guy from Pickfords who told us we need an address in Mackay before they can send goods. We said that they could send them, we would arrive and let them know where we were but he said not possible. How can we get an address if we are going for a holiday first and while there we'll look for a rental.

Come on ppl. Is everybody asleep or drunk. Has anybody without an address experienced this

Do you know anybody- friends, relations, anywhere in Mackay or near to there, that can give you their address temporarily as contact point? Otherwise I fear you stuff may not be going anywhere. and your storagew fees will go through the roof. It usually is a requirement to have a fixed delivery address, for the shippers (UK and OZ), Aust Customs and AQIS.

Is it individual items, part or whole container?
How long before you go on holiday are they picking the stuff up? Do you realise that the stuff may take a couple of months to get there?

Give the address of the local takeaway. Its only for customs and needs to be a street address - when you arrive you can then make contact and redirect the delivery. We gave the details of our short stay apartment but left off the name of the place.

And you could try being more polite and patient....... look at your post times -maybe Aussies sleep overnight?

Just give them the address of a hotel and leave off the name. Then change it as soon as you have an address that you know you'll be at. Its only for the customs forms etc and delivery location would be confirmed once your container has arrived.

And here in Australia we tend to need some sleep as sitting around the Barbie all day in the sun makes us tired at night

Cheers chaps. I'll find the address of a hotel as its personal possessions, more for the kids than us. Were going to try to get it in suitcases but I think there's too much
