Default Taking appliances

Hi,

Was just looking for some advice.

Are we cheaper buying a dishwasher & washing machine before we come over or buy new once we arrive?

Just our washing machine is on it's last legs and don't want to waste our money buying a new one if it's going to cos problems when shipping the rest of our stuff.

Our dishwasher is just over a year old but again don't know if this will cos problems.

Thanks in advance

Nikki

Nikki i suggest leaving them there and buying new here. Shipping white goods from there does not make sense to me. If it breaks down, fixing them will cost you heaps and while shipping it is very prone to damage. Check the good guys website or harvey norman website or for that matter big W website for price idea.

Adding to what moderator has said.......if you don't want to buy new one then cash converters and gumtree is also available to buy second hand white goods....
