  1. Weight wise + insurance its going to be near £450 to £550 and to be fair im not sure that i will need the same size saws so i think i will just buy fresh when i get there and also since ive mentioned it to one of my chums about two hours ago my phone hasnt stopped ringing and ive only got the 06 440 and some breakers left to sell. Any takers?
  2. I did the visa on my own all my employer did was to fill out a form i sent him and gave me an employment contract it was so easy i cant believe i nearly paid for it. I sent my visa away on a Wednesday and got it back the following Thursday. Ive just done 12 months for now to save on medicals etc as it was near £1000 for both of us and i dont even know if i want to stay yet so if i do i,ll get them done over there and extend or change my visa. Im trying to buy a nissan safari from up your neck of the woods so i,ll pop in and drop some beers off when i come pick it up. Again thanks for your help and advice.
  3. Hey There Im moving to Hurunui in the south island and cheers im thinking it will be best to sell them before i go. Anyone want any saws 06 440, 05 353, 07 361, 09 200t pm for prices all in excellent condition
  4. On a serious note does anyone actually know if its legal to send my saws?
  5. Dont Worry Tommy Im going to leave the mines next to my chemical weapons, can of hairspray and my books??????? I should have put the entire list on here it really makes for a good read and im pretty sure even if you sent a box of fresh air it would be wrong somehow. I really will miss timmy the toothfish.
  6. im gutted that im going to have to leave my Antarctic toothfish at home aswell.
  7. I might sound like a thicky which well i am, but royal mail say that you cannot send chainsaws in the post or freight to NZ????

Thanks to everyone who helped and advised and a massive thanks to Taupotreeman for all your help and advice i owe you several beers.
  10. Would you NZ chaps recommend the north or south island? Ive been part offered jobs on both of the islands but as i have never been i don't know which is better if any?
  11. Hey man Im after moving and staying not just a working holiday.
  12. I,ll keep you posted on any progress made and again thank you for your input and help.
  13. Hey Mark Thats pretty random as i emailed them today, i will drop them a phone call and do a bit of name dropping as there's no better beer than a free one. And thanks for the big up regarding my qualifications as i only listed about a third of what i have which makes me feel trippley better. Im just hoping that there is somebody over there that will see me in the same light. If you find a kiwi brides website let me know ha it could make things easier for me. Thanks for getting in touch with your mate its much appreciated.
  14. Well i filled in the working holiday visa today and it turned me down straight away due to my age, it told me to try the work permit visa which i did and it turned me down straight away as i dont have a job offer. I think things may have changed chaps.
  15. Cool i will apply for the working visa and see how that goes i didn't realise that it could be an option due to me being old man rivers. And what i was hoping to do was come over for a holiday and then put a face to a name with some of the company's there and then once i had pinned one of them to give me a job start the visa process but if i can get a working visa before i go that would be a bonus. Thanks for your help and advice its greatly appreciated.
  16. Thanks man theres a few to go at in there, oh and your avatar is legendary.
  17. Hey Chaps Im looking into going to NZ early next year am i better going over for a holiday then trying to find a job while im there or finding a job before i go?
