Moving To Australia -Shipping a Container?

[@jojackson8571]

May I ask how much it cost to ship your 40 foot container of home goods?

[@Juli.juli-pzeo]

Excellent video. Very informative

[@Dunnstakenz]

I like your vlog style videos!

[@cathybotha]

Thanks so much! I will definitely be doing more of these. Unfortunately I am home in South Africa for a few weeks as my father has passed away. New video will be up first week of September.

@@cathybotha I am so sorry to hear that! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Shame about the delay in transporting the container. Freezer still works means the gas is still ok, so in my view, it won't take much to repair it. Siemens might be expensive though. Modern new furnishings are generally not great quality (stuff from Indonesia, Thailand etc) worth looking for good second hand products via gumtree etc. We bought solid pine furniture (made in Australia) and had it stained to look like local hardwoods. Hope your family is feeling more comfortable.

Aah thanks Glenn! Yes we are hoping to do a minor repair to the fridge and sell it- great idea with staining pine furniture - totally agree with modern new furnishings quality 😅 we are feeling sooo much more at home now.

Do you have to fill out a detailed list of everything being shipped? Eg 8x folks 8x dinner knives, 1x cutlery tidy or just assorted cutlery ? Were planning on shipping a container full of cloths/ps4 & vr and games and mechanics tools ect we rented a storage container and just boxed it all and put in Halfords containers but will we need to pull it all out to list it all ?

[@cathybotha]

Yes- as detailed as possible.... this will reduce risk of delays at customs!!

[@jakecobet1777]

@@cathybotha i have over 1000 different sockets and spanner’s can i put assorted tools or list assorted spanner’s or list individually amount and size 13mm 14mm ect ?

[@cathybotha]

@Jake cobet oh my- I'm sure you could group those types of items!! Would be really difficult to detail to that degree. Good luck!!

[@dilanhiroshan1581]

@cathybotha will you be able to let me know more details about your agent in Dubai who handled your house hold items to Australia. i have quite load of used items to be shifted and Just wondering whether the used items are prohibited to enter in to Australia or they need to be supported with invoices?. lot many are my kids toys and utensils..

[@bearclaire]

Does Dubai have the same type of plug sockets as Australia? That's one thing to think. About when taking appliances from other country's

[@cathybotha]

Good Point C M!! We invested in some Aussie plugs from Bunnings and changed the UAE plugs on our appliances when they arrived. Easy to do - but Budget anything from $50-$100 depending on how many appliances you bring.

[@katebruce3982]

how is perth? by the way we are thinking of moving there

[@cathybotha]

Hi Kate! We are absolutely loving Perth. It is a city with a small town feel and we love the outdoor lifestyle it offers us- even in the winter months!! Cannot wait for Summer to arrive and spend more time at the beach. Good luck with your own plans and journey!

Then why did you move to Australia the seem s you are more happy in daubi i hate the shit I am still confused why moved to Australia if it’s not cheap and you where more happy in daubi. I don’t get it. I wouldn’t move to daubi for any amount off money no way what s so ever.

[@cathybotha]

Wow quite aggressive comment 😂 we love Australia and are very very happy here. I have a few viewers on my channel who are also in the middle east and many will immigrate to Australia - so I am sharing some obvious comparisons. Consumer goods are more expensive here... you can take that as a pro or a con... 😂 but it's a valid point to share with people who are considering to ship a container or not.

[@shanekopacka2945]

@ fair If you are happy here that’s a good thing. Enjoy I ask the say thing to other people too are uk family talk about Australia in a bad way. A couple months latter they move here. Now that’s weird.
