What to take to NZ?

Re: What to take to NZ?
When was that? My parents bought one in having owned it for 3 weeks in 2015, customs tried to talk about import tax but my folks showed them the relative pages on their website - if you dont need a receipt / proof of ownership for your sofa or food processor then you don't need one for a caravan surely.

Re: What to take to NZ?
This is a great thread. We were wondering if it was worth taking white goods to NZ and from the responses we should definitely consider it.
Surely the packing company would pack them into boxes anyway so regardless of whether they are in manufacturer boxes or not they will be in some kind of box?
We are just starting our journey for relocating to NZ. The thought of culling the hoard of things we have in a 4 bed house is making me faint.

We bought new washing machine, condenser dryer and all kitchen appliances before we came out in may 16. Look on harvey Norman, noel Leeming or 100% appliances and way up the cost of replacements... although ours were years old so was a no brainer for us!

I think the only thing to consider would be service and parts, if you already have them and have the space in a container then a no-brainer - but specifically purchasing them prior to moving then I'm not sure. Especially European brands which can take months to get parts for.
