There have been some of the Bond's closing but as many new Noels etc. opening as well as their new kitchen place: http://www.lifestyleappliances.co.nz/ From what I have heard market share for Noels has been well up on it's closest competitors so I can't see them going anywhere....Bond & Bond has been around since the late 1800's so they have been going strong in NZ for over 100 years!

In the end you are paying an overpriced amount for shoddy service because NZ is a dumping ground for old tech that is wrapped up and marketed as the latest and greatest. Manufacturers love NZ because we are all too stupid to realise that what we are buying is 2nd rate trash that couldn't be sold anywhere else.	Jams (1051)

I have found NZ up to date with most kit.	Cicero (40)

We get the latest GPUs and stuff pretty soon after release. We're hardly buying last years now. Or are we talking about fridges? In which case who cares.	pctek (84)

1156156	2010-12-01 08:00:00	Whenever I go into NL, there really is not many customers . Things are expensive . Not much selection . Each shelf area is quite narrow whereas HN's are much wider (longer) . The last item we bought was a $10 2GB USB thumb drive :D True - NL and DSE small goods are too costly . I buy from ebay for 10 to 40% of the price for some (non branded) items . So do Trademe bulk sellers, as have bid against some TM sellers on ebay for watches .	kahawai chaser (3545)
