Hello, 

I am shortly leaving overseas for a few weeks maybe a month and I need to arrange for temporary storage of refrigerated medication (about a lunch box sized amount) because I will have the power turned off in my condo.  I do not want to take it all overseas with me and have to chase up prescriptions, doctor's letters etc. and it won't be convenient to carry around keeping cool everywhere I need to go as well.  

I have tried a few self storage centres but they don't have this facility.  I don't have any friends here I can rely on either unfortunately.  

I am sure there are other expats who have had to make similar arrangements.  I know I could ask a few local bars to stick it in their bar fridges for me (LOL).  But seriously anybody have a solution?  

 

Thanks. 

Why can't you leave the fridge on in your condo?

Electricity bills - I am trying to get away with having to leave it on and then the issue with how to pay for the monthly bills when I am overseas as they do not have an online payment facility available so don't see how I can apply credit to my electricity account.  Jurisitic office said only way is to pay at 7 Eleven at the moment.  There are warnings in the condo that electricity will be cut off and meters removed if no payment within about 5 days of bill.  Not cheap to reconnect.  

Also, I may end up extending my leave away beyond a month so don't want the fridge issue then being a deciding factor for me having to come back earlier.  Having the fridge off, power cut and meds stored temporarily somewhere secure seems to be the right choice.  

If I could somehow pay advance credit or online then that would be a solution. 

 

Assuming you are being billed directly by the PEA you can certainly set up a direct debit from your bank account.

Thanks Upnotoer.  I may have been misinformed to a certain extent.  I will look into this ASAP.  Cheers.

Yes I set up my direct debit many years ago. After we did not get a bill, and was cut off.

If you buy medication locally expect they would be willing to store for you for little or no charge.  Might be safer than the local bar.
