Oh yes! Got the container number off PSS and found out it's now reached Melbourne. Those blooming boxes get around!!

PSS shipped it so not sure what the process is when the ship arrives.

Thanks in advance!
I live in Southland, I waited just a couple of days. AND they opened and inspected 22 of the boxes.

Oooo that sounds good! Thought the extra few kms would really slow it down!

We used Toll to bring it from Auckland to Whangarei, they collected dockside and drove it straight here, we took our own padlock off on our drive here.

Ours is through now. Have the princely sum of $46 to pay which is pretty sweet.
Now just need to convince our prospective landlord that we will get jobs soon and not be a risk when renting their house!
