Shipping Goods in One Week! What Else to Bring?

Post new topic

mabe3183

Hi Forum!  Well my wife and I are shipping are household effects on Wednesday, Feb 24, 2010 for our move in late April!  As we are moving from Atlanta, GA, I wanted to ask everyone if there are things that you would recommend us purchasing in the USA to ship with our goods?  Stuff that is either hard to find or really expensive in Melbourne?  I have heard that books can be expensive, but what about other household items, such as toiletries?  Should we stock up prior to the move?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and looking forward to relocating so soon!

Matt
