Re: What do you wish you'd shipped over..
Apart from the obvious answers of "A bucket load of cash"
Starting to plan out what would be worth renewing or purchasing before a move over to NZ instead of getting over and cursing a lack of forward planning..
Are there any stand-out items that will be substantially more expensive/ hard to source/ on that "damn wish we'd got X before we left"..?
e.g
Kitchen appliances?
TV's
clothes?
etc
Thanks..

A car/van - Cars appear to retain their value over here.
Some old scrapper fit for the junk heap will sell here for a few k.
My Friend is considering shipping cars over he seems to think he can sell them at a profit.
I buy all my football gear and trainers from the UK and have it shipped over even with postage I still save money + you just cant get a pair of Adidas Samba's in this part of the world.
My wardrope consists of mostly T-shirts and shorts which as a bloke is fine, My partner finds clothes here to be style-less
She would also say bring makeup - although it can melt at times.
