Re: Bloody Argos

Think it's the sleeping one as it's : zzz :
But yeah, new ones are pretty rubbish!

Re: Bloody Argos
We've now gone to Ikea and local shops and got the stuff we wanted, so argos can stuff it and we can get things sorted so they go into the container as used, not new goods

Re: Bloody Argos
Fair enough. Ikea much better than Argos anyway. And not in NZ so your furniture will be unique!

Re: Bloody Argos
Way to go Sir Eg. 
I so wish we had done just that.
Unpack the stuff so it doesn't all look like brand new.
Having said that we shipped over a bed and a couple of stick of furniture which were still in their packing . THere was no problem.

Re: Bloody Argos
well done you!! Fill 'er up I say! ( we overfilled somewhat! 
)
We didnt have any problems with some new stuff either - the unpackers were so chuffed that we said bung pretty much everything in the woolshed that they made up an ikea table for us - result!
Good luck.

Re: Bloody Argos
We moved here, and brought a lot of ikea furniture and to be honest the kiwis love it, they are always admiring the "modern stuff" and harp on about how they wish there was an ikea in N.Z. I have a friend who sold her table and chairs which she had bought from D.F.S in the U.K and made a considerable profit!! I say bring as much as you can cram into the container!

Re: Bloody Argos
You were in stitches when you were writing that weren't you? I've told someone on here that UK TVs work in NZ when they're facing west (without any smilies) and it fell like a stone on the water 
That sort of humour is very common in my family. or should it be
