| 649124 | 2008-03-13 20:13:00 | Briscoes/Mitre 10 Mega. (for the hardware part) Never K-Mart (partly cause there isn't one in Nelson, but I don't like them anyway) or the Warehouse. I try to never buy from them. |

| 649125 | 2008-03-13 20:15:00 | Since I have no way other than bus to get to any of them. None of them. And I probably wouldnt even know where they are anyway. (Besides Farmers, and The Warehouse). |

| 649126 | 2008-03-13 20:18:00 | No preference - we go to whatever has the right product at the right price, with the caveat that we're not going to burn up $5 in gas to save $4 off the price tag ... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 649127 | 2008-03-13 20:56:00 | There is no Bunnings or Kmart down here. As for the rest it all depends what I want to buy. Not Briscoes because they are usually more expensive. Farmers for clothes usually. Mitre10 or Warehouse for gardening stuff. Don't buy much else new. |

| 649128 | 2008-03-13 20:57:00 | Mitre10, Briscoes, Farmers, Warehouse - it just depends what I want and the quality I'm looking for. sarel |

Can you supply the numbers that the stores might need ? Have you searched for similar product around the world. and many other things to consider. |

| 649130 | 2008-03-13 22:28:00 | For a hardware-related product, in order of preference: Mitre10 (Mega), Bunnings, Placemakers. I avoid Kmart and Farmers like the plague, and only very rarely visit The Warehouse, on the basis that I prefer to spend a little more and be assured of the quality. Don't care about the TWL returns policy -if I have to go back because the goods are faulty, you've lost me as a customer. I take it your patent has come through and you're preparing for manufacturing? |

| 649131 | 2008-03-13 22:33:00 | I had an interesting discussion at an A&P show with the makers of a product that was being praised on Chat a while back. Bunnings were selling their product at $29 while they were asking $40 plus postage if applicable. The catch-22 for them was that they need the volume sales but the only promotion of the product was funded by their own sales. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 649132 | 2008-03-13 23:04:00 | I take it your patent has come through and you're preparing for manufacturing? We have applied for a Provisional Patent in NZ and this takes a year from filing date January 2008. We are getting our tool (mould) designed right now and it will take 2 months to make it.
