Overseas taxing on items

Alethea from Mahora

I hope the government will decide against this as the only place we can get shoes for my 16yr old son is eBay as he is a size 19. They cost enough as it is with exchange rate and shipping. If the government puts the extra tax on items, well needless to say I will need to rob a bank just to buy shoes!!!And when a nz store wants to charge $120 for a healing book and I can get it for $46nzd from the UK and free shipping, which one do you think I would pay for.......Yes we are a tiny country and cannot provide for every person, but there should be allowances for people when NZ doesn't provide the items they need.. e.g. large shoes!!

Grant from Raureka

Have had no luck after contacting a couple of painters - they haven't responded at all so suspect the job is too small for them. Anybody out there know of a painter who does do small jobs please
