| 1355616 | 2013-10-10 00:07:00 | I have never done this before so not sure where to start. Been waiting on the release of a piece of hardware for a while and found out its due this month. Very iffy if its coming to NZ and even if it does its unlikely we will see the full options. What do I need to know about importing something myself? |

If you're importing from something like the US, use ship2u.co.nz and they'll handle that for you. It's only roughly $20 for shipping forwarding from the US, depending on the size of what you're ordering, so it's a great deal and it takes the hassle out! What more can you tell us about what you're wanting to order? |

| 1355621 | 2013-10-10 03:41:00 | It's likely under $400 so GST / Customs Duty won't be an issue. Shipping is completely up to you, forwarder or direct, doesn't matter. Just buy like normal :) |

| 1355622 | 2013-10-10 03:46:00 | Could also try Youshop (www.nzpost.co.nz) (t's run by NZ post). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1355623 | 2013-10-10 22:03:00 | I just found out I can't buy direct anyway. So its a moot point. |

| 1355624 | 2013-10-10 22:17:00 | Buy from NewEgg. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1355625 | 2013-10-10 23:27:00 | Of course that shouldn't stop you, as mentioned use a shipping forwarder like ship2u.co.nz or similar :D I've used them *heaps*! |
