Re: What to pack in container
It's not that bad, you can get almost anything. You may not get the brand names you are used to, but the brands here work. The only thing I regret not bringing are ' blackout curtain liners' from Rosebury's.
I'm going back to the UK in Feb 09 and the only things I intend to bring back are 'blackout curtain liners'.
Bring all you DVD's etc, they are compatable, we brough over 150 and they work. I brought everything except the kitchen sink (and washing machine).
Until you get used to the prices it can appear expensive, but it's all comparative to salaries.

Re: What to pack in container
The only thing I truly wish I had a container load of is Clarks shoes for my 2 younger kids 
I can't find a decent pair of shoes especially for my 9 year old girl.
The eldest girl is now wearing $150 Overlander shoes for school
we did the Number1 shoes and Dowsons in the first term and $75 later both pairs ended up in the bin, so we have bit the bullet and flashed the cash in the hope that this pair will last the winter, only time will tell
