We have now been in Nz for 8 months on our work visas and are now hoping for residency and a prolonged stay,OH not sure about permeament tho! however, we only brought minimal stuff (for a years stay) and if we are going to be longer the patience of our parents who are storing our stuff is going to start to wear pretty thin. I don't think we could ever fill a container on our own, all furniture is flat pack, and although I have countless shoes and bags, I can't believe either with W.machine etc that it would be full. However we probably have more than stuff than excess baggage, is there anything in between?, that is at reasonable cost?. Or should we just cut our losses ditch the lot and start again, although as now earning NZ$ makes some stuff pricey. :confused:

Any ideas/help appreciated, Hopefully the longer he stays the more he'll want to stay!

This thread has some details of companies that will ship boxes rather than whole containers.

It is also possible to share a container, but I don't know much about that. I'm sure someone here will be able to give you some pointers and set you in the right direction though.
