| 276857 | 2004-09-30 03:59:00 | On the basis that some readers may track thru all the garbage I would add my bit. Being in the Wairarapa I use online shopping quite a lot. All are generally quite good but my best experience was with QMB Computers in Mt Roskill a few months back when I ordered my Dynalink router. I placed the order in the morning and was able to pay immediately by direct transfer from my bank account. The order was confirmed by lunchtime and the Track and Trace number was entered into my account by mid-afternnon. The router was delivered the following morning. The best part was that they were the cheapest I was able to find. |

| 276858 | 2004-09-30 08:02:00 | I have also used QMB and had a very positive tale to tell - Cheap prices , and extremly fast shipping. Also i brought a HDD from Super Cheap Computers with the same result. However my experience with Styles Pc has not been so great - I ordered a mobo / fans / case from them and as well as taking nearly 2 weeks to arrive the case was a different colour to the one ordered and the same diff with the fans - although they replaed them the time it initially took to arrive was a bit long | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 276859 | 2004-09-30 08:16:00 | Ascent - excellent - absolutely 100% faultless - I have shopped with them dozens of times for myself and friends. OEM Auckland - crap - 3 orders, 3 times wrong product shipped. Have a feeling they are trying to get idiots who don't know the difference. Dragon Christchurch - worse than crap, they couldn't pay me to deal with them again - similar problems as with OEM. Paradigm PC's - very good. SmokeCD's - fantastic. Umm I'm sure there are more..... |

| 276860 | 2004-09-30 10:33:00 | There are heaps of online retailers in New Zealand ( Pricespy.co.nz ) backs me up on that one , i think that people have to get more used to buying of the internet for us to see a boom in online shopping - because the suppliers are already there | ApeNz (4220) | ||

Especially when the store has a brick and mortar presence as well as their online store. Take a punt - make a small purchase to verify their service, or send an email and see how quick the response is. Some larger outfits have trouble with the replies but can still deliver orders ok. Excellent New Zealand online retailers imho: - Ascent (computer gear and software) www.ascent.co.nz - Dick Smith (computer and electronics) www.dse.co.nz - excellent but note often their stores can stock more of a particular range than the site has. I found their site had 2 cordless phones but in the store they had 10x that number! - Toy Warehouse (the name says it all) www.toywarehouse.co.nz - great new site with a simple buy powerful toy finder. - Digital Max (print photos online) www.digitalmax.co.nz - great for printing digital photos - especially good as they deliver to your local pharmacy at no cost to you. This is a small list but I can't think of any others I would be happy to recommend. |

| 276863 | 2005-11-03 02:38:00 | My only complaint is that so many on-line retailers will not accept payment by credit card. If I've got to go into town and muck around getting money and putting it in their account I might as well try the local shops. Some banks take up to two days to show the credit and by the time the retailer has satisfied that he's got the money he takes another ccouple of days to send the items. I wont get involed in internet banking. So I do all my computer shopping with Ascent now. An e-mail today and I've got the items by lunch time tomorrow. |
