Received Delivery Yes we have a problem
Broken wine glass, Chipped antique furnture - the normal things you expect.
What you dont expect
: Chewing gum (care of PSS packers) in amongst the packing paper surrounding your dining ware.
: No listing on the Manifest for the Bed parts to allow you to put back together you bed (The bolts etc)
: Box References on the Manifest not being the same as actual box contents.
However the local boys from Kent shipping were brilliant and have left us feeling glad to be in Melbourne.
Physically and mentally tired tonight and have alot of unpacking to do in the morning - hopefully will find the bolts otherwise will have to await replacement parts from the UK (airfreight definitely)
Discovered a great cafe up the road from our new home which does really scrummy food (even the local unpacking team were impressed with the lunches we bought for them).
Typical of my experience with Melbourne - all the passersby stopped for a chat - made the unpacking longer but so nice to enjoy chit chat with complete strangers.

Not the first time this shipping company has fallen over - in the UK they sent the wrong invoices - so if you moved to Auckland recently and used PSS I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE
Well used to live :scared: Kiwi

Our daughter has already outgrown her bed so thats going into storage for the next one. And shes now in our double. Counting the boxes she has more clothes and shoe boxes than us - how sad.
Off now to get her off to bed.
