    Good luck hun!!! They do measure them really carefully - we used to have a business where we regularly posted large boxes and they would measure them every time. Fingers crossed they have one for your family to get!! xoxoxo

    Mrs Bexie - some of those measurements were probably 34.2 or 34.3. I rounded to the nearest half centimetre to make sure I wasn't measuring under. It would probably be JUST ok... if you wanted to take the gamble.

    Hi all

    I was browsing through this thread out of interest as i was considering the aldi overlocker not too long ago. At the time I was looking it wasn't available at aldi stores (it came on sale just after i purchased another one, typical )


    Just thought I'd mention to those of you who are looking for a cheap overlocker and can't get the aldi one I ended up getting a brother 1034d (model before the current 3034d) from amazon. It was on sale, and even with shipping from US it only cost about $250 aus dollars! Don't forget you will need a step down transformer for the difference in voltage, but i got one off eBay for $25, so all up $270 which i was quite happy with

    Well my SIL's were meant to go yesterday but didn't, then said they would go today but instead of going to the Brandon Park one like I said, they checked 3 different ones and they didn't have any! bah!!!
    My MIL who is in Melbourne atm too is going to check tomorrow but who knows if they have any left now!
    I tried calling the number on the website but it had an automated message right at the start stating they did not give out store numbers and couldn;t check product availability in each store.. so that was useless!
    LOL

    Yay
    I was popping in to help with postage but you don't need it, woohoo
    If your interested, yes they do measure it really carefully because AP sell other services like eParcel for bigger boxes
    The cheapest quote I got was about $43 when I shipped an overlocker by courier from Melbourne to Sydney.
