Cost of Electronics in NZ

Andrew from Stanmore Bay

It may be just me, however I have been noticing prices in NZ are high for electronics versus importing them yourself. Yesterday when ordering some ram/memory for my home office computer, and searching NZ suppliers, the price for one unit from NZ stores was similar to two units from Amazon with DHL courier, arriving mid next week, which on the transport costs did not seem excessive either. Obviously I ordered from overseas. I do however support kiwi made items in general even with a higher price tag as it supports our country.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
