After yet another visit from a shipping company, this one has been the first to pass comment on our chest freezer. He claims that in about 1999 NZ banned the use of CFC gasses, and therefore any fridge/freezer that is older than that or uses such gasses will be automatically disposed of upon entry, with us footing the bill.
Can anyone either confirm or deny this? I have no reason to not believe him, but so far each of the sales reps have given us such a range of 'opinions' on what will happen we're just trying to verify everthing. Every other rep has just added it to his list with no comment whatsoever.
If it's true, I guess we have no option but to leave it here, as it's at least 7 years old, and has no info stickers or tech spec attached. However, it doesn't owe us anything as we only paid about £25 for it ....
Thanks,
Emily
