Smartie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Fern, Are you saying that the duck feathers that go into the cushions (for the lounge etc) will not be allowed??We just purchased 6 new ones at R260 a cushion - so I am sweating now.... pls let me know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 100 cans of deodorant. Flip they work out expensive here especially if like my husband, you go through a can a week. Not as much of a selection here and a small can of AXE (called something else here, but is the same thing) costs around $5 can. Not much selection for the ladies either. Although have found a favourite of mine at one of the pharmacies but at a price!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vermeulens Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 If I pack 50 boxes of toothpaste, will customs not charge import tax? Hubby only wants to use Aquafresh and I gather that only SA shops sell them for a fortune.Again, I would like to have clarification on the pool table thing too. Has anyone moved theirs?

Fern Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Smartie,See Milos post below - we are OK!! I don't think the feather duvets and pillows are a problem. The feathers are part of a commercial product, therefore it has been chemically or otherwise treated to rid it of bacteria etc.The same with the grass lampshades (I'm thinking of the ones from Mr Price Home). They will be allowed as it's has been commercially manufactured.The problem comes with informal handmade products. The type you buy on the side of the road like the woodcarvings and the pillow your aunt who lives on a farm made for you. Fern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bronwyn Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Go to Mr Price Home Zone and get some nice interiors things. What you pay in Rands you will pay the same here in Dollars. Things like vases or wrought-iron candle-sticks, lampshades, etc. I also bought a new King-size duvet and 2 x new duvet covers at Mr Price to bring in the container, I am still using them 19 months later. A King size duvet inner here is around $70-$100.Oh, and leather boots and shoes. Again that R800 for a new pair of boots won't seem so bad when you see they are $200+...Bring your Springbok jerseys, even if it's just to irritate your friends with. I have been asked to bring E45 cream, Valoids, South African flag stickers, Carol Boyes stuff and Klippies by friends so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vermeulens Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Euneze,Ek het vriende wat hulle sleepwa gevat het, en hulle is NIE spyt nie. Ek oorweeg om een hier te koop om saam te vat. Ek wens nou mense wil antwoord oor die pool tafels - wie het dit gedoen, is die gewig 'n probleem vir die Aussies om dit te dra aan die ander kant?Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dankie omtrent die sleepwa. Wat ek wil weet, is daar enige registrasie of reels en regulasies omtrent 'n sleepwa?Ek weet nie van die pool tafels nie, maar ek het 'n klavier wat 'n erfstuk is. Dit is ontsettend swaar! 4 Mense het hom in ons huis ingedra en ek weet nie wie gaan hom uitdra nie, maar gaan, gaan dit!Euneze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Bhere Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Oeps sorry can not help on this one because our container left on Tuesday and they could not fit everything so we had to leave a couple of stuff behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Krugers Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi JulleVir die wat nog wonder, dit is toelaatbaar om vereduvets en kussings oor te bring, solank dit kommersieel vervaardig is. Ek het hulle gemail daaroor n paar weke terug, omdat ons n baie nice vereduvet gekoop het, en hom wil saamvat.Ek het ook gevra oor my wol pantoffels, en dieselfde antwoord gekry daarvoor.So pak, julle, pak!!GroeteTania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vermeulens Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Euneze (again!)Ek het nounet by 'n container company die reëls oor sleepwaens gekry. Niks om hierdie kant te doen nie, maar aan die Aussie kant, net 'n invoerpermit in jou besit "VOOR" die container gepak word. Dis bleikbaar baie maklik en die sleepwa sal SAAM met ons meubels in 'n 20voet container pas! Ek weet nie hoe nie, maar ons sal sien. Selfs die pooltafel ook, EN 'n klavier. Hulle pak bleikbaar binne in die sleepwa ook.Verder sê die container mense dat, aangesien daar anyway 'n klavier is, gaan daar reeds meer mense vir die aflaai moet wees, so die pool tafel is nie 'n addisionele probleem nie ... so hy gaan saam, yeah!

hanneskn Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ons vat ons 6vt Karet trailer saam. Ek moes aansoek doen vir 'n invoer permit van OZ. Het dit reeds gekry. So week voordat jou Container gepak word moet jy 'n polisie klaringsbewys kry (Gewoonlik by toetssentrums). Dit gaan blykbaar saam in die trailer na OZ (as ek dit nou reg verstaan). In OZ moet jy met jou invoerpermit gaan en 'n nuwe lisensie plaatjie kry. Ons s'n gaan in 'n 20vt container. Die container mense bou 'n hout krat oor die trailer en dan kan hulle voortgaan om bo op dit ook te pak.Lekker pak!Hannes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vermeulens Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hannes?Hoe lank het dit gevat om die invoerpermit te kry? Wanneer pak julle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olkabolka Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ons het hierdie week 2 vervoermaatskappye gehad wat vir ons kwotasie vir 'n container kom gee het. Die een dame (Bayleys) het gese dat ons ekstra "toiletries" moet saamvat, hulle gebruik dit om lee spasies mee op te vul. Goed soos deoderant, skeermeslemmetjies, watte (Oz se watte is blykbaar maar jiggie!!), seep, toiletpapier, sjampoe (ag julle weet wat) alles wat mens daar gaan deurhelp die eerste 3 - 6 maande totdat jy hulle produkte leer ken het, en omdat dit hier goedkoper is. Het gevra oor deoderant, en sy se dis geen probleem, die bokse word ge"line" met iets wat dit beskerm teen die hitte.Die ander Mpy, Fraser, het gese hulle beveel glad nie aan dag mens deoderant blikkies en goed vat nie. Nou wat nou? Vir wie moet ons luister. Ons kry Maandag nog 2 Mpy'e wat kom kwotasies gee, en dan sal ons hierdie vra vir hulle vra en kyk hoeveel kry ons uit 4. Ek was baie beindruk met Brenda Bayley van Bayleys, baie openlik gesels, en sy ken Oz, gaan gereeld soontoe, en het baie tips gegee soos wat ekstra moet saamgaan. Het vandag gaan nuwe handoeke koop, het gedink 2 stelle vir elke badkamer, en dit behoort lank te hou. Op my lys is ook ekstra linne vir ons 3 beddens wat saamgaan. Het vir my "undies" my Woolworths gaan kry, en wil nou vir die kiddies onderklere en somersklere kry. Wanneer ons Oktober in Brisbane land, is dit somer, en ek wil nie in vreemde shopping centres gaan soek vir bekostigbare klere nie. Sal dit hier koop, sou dit in elk geval moes doen. Maar helaas, daar is nie finansies vir koop vir die toekoms nie. Ons tiener gaan in elk geval wil dra wat die nuwe maats dra, so ek wil nie geld mors en klere koop wat net gaan in die kas bly nie. Jongste is 9, so ek sal vir hom kry. Heng, daar is so baie wat gedoen moet word!! Sterkte aan almal wat besig is met die pakkery, ons is binnekort daar!

Hulle pak bleikbaar binne in die sleepwa ook.Presies die teenoorgestelde van wat ek gehoor het van die vervoermaatskappye. Mens moet volgens hulle die sleepwa eers de-registreer is SA by die polisie. Dan word niks binne gepak nie, want by aankoms in Oz word die sleepwa uitgehaal, en kan eers later na 'n inspeksie apart weer verkry word. Indien nie skoon genoeg word dit skoongemaak op jou rekening.Wonder hoe daar soveel variasies van die feite kan wees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ons geval, ons wil 'n nuwe sleepwa koop met die gevolg dat dit nie vuil sal wees nie. Dit maak mens bekommerd as elke maatskappy 'n ander storie het. Dit maak vir my sin dat hulle dit vol sal pak, veral as dit nuut is. Ek hoop net nie die invoerbelasting is so duur dat dit nie die moeite werd is nie.Euneze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_ Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 HiI did not read the whole thread, so please excuse me if I repeat anything. Phenagran ointment for skin allergies, and mosquito bites! Corenza C for colds and flu, here the over the counter medicine is Vit C and Paracetemol. Our Venter Trailer, someone said before, plastic stuff, really expensive here. Paid almost $60 for a plastic washing basket the other day! If you live in a cold region, blankets, I brought mine over, but the Saffers here that didn't bring theirs over, say theyre really sorry they didn't, the onces you get here is not the same as ours in SA.Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin T Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 GreetingsI havent read all the replys you have so here is my opinion. We brought a box with groceries. I dont know what would be the problem. They were declared and allowed. Nothing like meat , but All Gold jams and Tomato sauce. Cross and Blackwell mayonaise, Pro nutro , Marie biscuits, sweets like winegums and jelly tots, You can buy Mrs balls here in Coles. Smarties , Bar ones, You pay tax on alchohol in your container, in your acompanied baggage it is taxfree , 3 bottles per person. Check on liquids in your carry on . 100ml bottles only . You could end up loosing perfumes and personal hygiene products in bigger containers on carry on.Electric multi plugs with the 2 pin sockets for you chargers for you cell phones , video cameras, Take one in your luggage. You change the plug on the multi plug to Oz style and you instantly have a few SA plugs for hair dryers and the like while you settle in. You can only buy plugs from specialised electric shops. Clothes are expensive , but you can shop around. Mr Price is apparently looking at comming over if there is enough interest. So go and tell them on their web site to come. I have had some of the best biltong and wors I have tasted in my life since I have been here. Expensive but good. Your toys , and your kids toys if you have space. It will give you something to do. All your electricals. Check out the situation on new goods. If something is not older than a year you could end up paying tax on it. We brought a lot of bedding . All our cd's and dvd's. My sons x-box. ( Came carry on ) . Gave him some normality in the transision and you can watch movies on it. Standard TV are about $160 dollars so think that one through. If you bring anything that has been outside, like a lawn mower , camping equipment , outdoor sports equipment, it has to be spotless, The cleaning cost you get charged here to clean it if they are not happy with your attempt, is often more than the cost of new equipment here. A guy was charged to clean his lawn mower, twice what a new one would have cost. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
