queenb COVID-19 Update
The queenb team support the Government's decision to protect NZer's safety and well-being by imposing a business lockdown from midnight tonight 11.59pm 25th March, for at least four weeks. We are closing our offices and warehouse at 4.30pm today. Our showroom and shop have been closed since the announcement on Monday afternoon. We love our staff and customers and have been/are doing everything we can to keep them safe and well!
We have also been working as hard as possible to dispatch as many current orders as we can before we close this afternoon. Couriers are still considered an "essential service" and once the goods are shipped from our warehouse, they will still be delivered to you, even when we are closed. Please note there may be slight delays.
You will have lots of time at home to get your odd jobs done and renovate! Our website is still active to inspire you, and over this time orders can still be placed online at queenb.co.nz however no orders will be dispatched until we get the all clear to re-open.
We are still available via email for any queries you may have, and while there will be a delay in answering, we will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner.
Any existing orders not sent out by COB today will also be dispatched and delivered once the lockdown is finished and we are able to return to work.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will be in touch again once we have returned to operation.
The team at queenb wish you all the best over this time. Stay safe and look after each other.
Remember, we are very lucky to still have power, water and internet!
Keep well, keep safe.
Kia Kaha Aotearoa

This one is a real head-scratcher!
I am a five-letter word and people eat me.
If you remove the first letter I become an energy form.
If you remove the first two letters, I am needed to live.
Scramble the last three letters and I am a drink.
What am I?

Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
