It helps if your dvd system is multi-regional. As you probably know, UK is 2 and NZ is 4. We joined a video/dvd rental shop here and found some (not all) dvds would not work on our UK dvd player, so we bought another here for $120.

Our UK video player soon went kaputt after moving here, for some unknown reason, but there have been no problems playing tapes on the cheap NZ video player bought from the Warehouse.

The two portable UK tvs we bought over are used for the video player and the Playstation, not being any use for anything else here.

It is hard to say whether anyone should or should not freight their furniture to NZ, as we all have our own individual attachments to furniture and ability to buy new. Some things you will probably have to buy here, if waiting for your household effects in unfurnished accommodation, things like duvets, towels, kettle, iron, basic cutlery and crockery etc.
