OUR SUPPLIERS
This is of course not our complete list of suppliers, but we're only going to give credit where it's due. These suppliers have always given us exceptional service, so we are helping them by linking to their websites. Tell them we sent you!
AJ BROWN www.ajbrown.co.nz
AJ Brown do the customs clearance for the goods we import and as far as we're concerned they provide the best customs clearance service available in New Zealand. They're always friendly and helpful and quick at what they do, clearing our imports through customs so we can keep our products in stock.
COMPUTER FOOD www.computerfood.co.nz
We use this company for laser printer toner cartriges. It's not a topic we'd normally consider worthy a mention but they stand out for having excellent service. The printer was out of toner one day which is a slight problem when you have 50 invoices to print, we placed the order for a new cartridge at 7am and it had arrived by 11am. We were impressed to say the least!
THINK NZ www.thinknz.co.nz
Every day we ship out many products to our customers all over New Zealand and that requires a lot of boxes, packing tape and bubblewrap. We've found ThinkNZ to be the best for prices and service. Even better they deliver so we have more time for tools instead of fighting the traffic to get to the stationary store. Best to call them though because their website at the moment is a bit pants...
FLASHCARDS www.flashcards.co.nz
When we need IT gear we look here first. Their prices are competitive but more importantly when an order is placed we know it will arrive the next day. They do more than just memory cards including Pulstar high energy spark plugs, haven't tried them but they look promising.
