sercoed Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 We are moving from Rayong back to Australia in September this year and wanted to ship a small quantity of household effects, maybe about 100 kilos. After checking the internet and prices I thought maybe someone in our neighborhood had some boxes left over from when they moved here that they would want to sell for a reasonable price. Thanks in anticipation. Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You will maybe find it easier and quicker to get one of the local 2nd hand wood places to make one. Big thing to remember though are the rules on wood treatment before it can be allowed into Australia. Last time I dealt with that I had to witness and sign off on spraying heat treating etc. It was not cheap for the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtwo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I shipped a model steam engine from uk to Australia in the end it was easy to let the shippers do the crate than the paper work for the wood I was going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, has to be approved spray and minimum bake temperature and time depending on thickness. Copies of spray and approval certs. Calibration records for the oven and instument(s) used for calibration. And anything else they can think of at the time. New wood, from where? 2nd hand wood, history you try to think of it all and they will add one more, with a smile of course.

sercoed Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks for all of your responses. Looks like there are a lot of problems. Some things are just hard to leave behind. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The brokerage company that I use in Bangkok can pick it up, crate it and ship it and handle the whole deal, but it won't be cheap. PM me if you want their details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobsladder Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) If it's 100kg stick it in cheap suitcases, or even well wrapped card boxes and take it as excess luggage. It'll be far cheaper, you won't have to deal with import issues and there won't be fumigation issues. I used to import containers of wood furniture (some of it palletized) to Canada and fumigation is a really big issue. Avoid if you can.
