Re: Anybody out there in Kapiti coast or welly region?

Re: Setting up a Private Bag or PO Box in NZ before you arrive

No idea! I live Newcastle area, so not that familiar with Werrington. Stoke's such an outstandingly beautiful place. I think everyone should experience it once in a lifetime. :D

Re: Setting up a Private Bag or PO Box in NZ before you arrive

The bank example was a bad one I guess. I have actually already managed to set up an account to be able to transfer money into so it's there when I arrive. Just going back to the opening of a private...

So you took your TV over? I thought a TV was one of the electrical items that wouldn't work. Probably not really an issue with myself coz the TV I have should have been binned a long time ago I...

Re: Electrical Goods

Some interesting responses. Thanks for that. I'm a gambling man, so I'm shipping what I can. If it melts, blows up or shorts the local vicinity; tough taters! :eek:
