I purchased a refurbished smart phone from them that was advertised as having been technician checked and with 1 year warranty. Sadly it had several problems straight out of the box. I sent it back and warranty was declined as the glass rear cover had cracked. They couriered it back to me unrepaired and advised it would be $80 to replace the cover. I contacted them and asked if I accepted that quote would they fix the other faults. After almost 2 weeks I have not had a reply. Check out other similar reviews on Sitejabber.com.

We’re asking all Christchurch residents to save water so we can end temporary chlorination sooner.

The less water we use, the faster we can upgrade our wells. It all adds up, and we really appreciate people’s efforts.

The biggest demand for household water comes from garden sprinklers and irrigators. A better option is to use a hose with a spray gun, or a watering can. Better still, water only on alternate days between 9pm and 7am, when it's cooler.

Dog ownership has soared over the past five years, outstripping the growth in people in all the main cities apart from Auckland.

The country is home to more than 560,500 registered dogs – enough for about one in nine to be a proud owner. That's a pooch for roughly every third household.
