Container arrived!!
Well the much awaited day arrived and yippee we have furniture!!! 
Everything there, all in one piece and we have nothing but praise for Pickfords. All involved were reliable and hardworking (the woman in the office was a bit useless so I'm glad she wasn't a packer or unpacker
)
However, I am so disappointed that there was nothing unexpected in any of the boxes
After reading some of the posts on a previous thread I was so hopeful I would find a used teabag, takeaway leaflets or phone books but no, just exactly what we had told them to pack was packed.
Yes it was just like Christmas!!! Just need to find space for everything now...... Bevissa 
(very happy pom)

Re: Container arrived!!
Hi darling
Have you finished unpacking yet? lol. We phoned Pickfords last night and found out our container won't land into Auckland until 23 January. Seems such a long time away
Also found out that they couldn't get it all into the one container and a few bits have to go into a part share (including the sofa) for an extra £305. No idea when that will arrive
Anyway, I'll stop moaning. I hope you are are all well
Love
Maria
