Re: Things to get in UK rather than NZ
Bevs, that's not what they said to us, and yes, I agree, it doesn't make sense at ALL! A container is a container! and yes, this is just for extra cubic footage within the container, not extra! Oh well. I think we will probably just take the risk as from what this thread has suggested, we could do with stocking up on a few bits and bobs.
We're not sure if we're going to take OH motorbike, but it could put the costs up a little bit. Oh well, we're spending so much to get out there, what diffs does >£150 make?

I agree with the things others have said about what to bring. Wish I'd brought some extra pairs of Next jeans, their petite sizes fit me really well. Buy and bring over any books you really want to buy as they are very expensive here. It's made even worse when you can see the RRP on the back in £
I buy mine on Amazon or Book depository depending on which is cheapest taking into account the cost of postage on Amazon.

You can only get it from a pharmacist and there was talk of it being prescription only.
It contains pseudoephedrine, so you wouldn't want to be caught with it in any large quantity of it, or you'll be under suspicion of drug smuggling or starting a P-lab

Does sound like groupage doesn't it.
Have you enough for a sole container at all? We couldn't fill a container completely but still used one because it ended up being cheaper and also quicker to arrive.
As the others have suggested. Get more quotes.
