What to bring, online furniture retailers

We have had a shipping quote today, looking at our larger items we have started to think about what is actually worth bringing. So can anyone list some online furniture retailers, mainly in SE Queensland?
We are big fans of Ikea and have already looked at Ikea.au but any other modern furniture stores would be very interesting to us.

Check out Freedom which is a cross between Ikea and Habitat sort of. Or Fantastic Furniture for cheap furniture packages - you can get some nice wooden bits and pieces from there.

Oz Design is another modern furniture store. It's a bit cheaper than Freedom and has an online catalog http://www.ozdesignfurniture.com.au.

We've just bought some great furniture from Everyday Living - made from reclaimed pine and some rustic, some traditional and some modern and not slating Ikea but looks better made and longer lasting.
Good luck but like others said nothing beats getting into store and chatting to the sales people, especially if you fancy a bit of bartering!

You should just bring everything. You'll be glad you did later.
