Thanks for the heads up about the appliances. However, I am an expat Aussie returning to Australia and have control over these things.

Thanks Thinker for your comments. Sorry for the misunderstanding. We will not be shipping white goods. If we do ship anything,it will be furniture (beds, lounges, table, chairs, toys, computers, dvd players, kitchen utensils, etc).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are suggesting that if I choose to buy new furniture, etc. that the money I use to do this with will be considered a fringe benefit, even if I need these things to relocate?
