Got pinged for GST but still cheaper and just as fast as the local guy. I did try to buy local but he replied to my question with a blunt message to say he only takes calls Thursday through Sunday "... as per out website." I'm not interested in trading with some Jim & Joe operation that only has a mobile number and only takes calls a couple of days per week so got this from Andertons. $40 credit off the next purchase too.Jellybelly wrote:Dang that was quick.

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?
Same thing in this case. I'd expected to overnight it from the guy on the Monday but he wouldn't take a call until Thursday. Just as well in the end I suppose.

Congrats and im sure its a beauty ... not having a dig but but its a shame you couldn't have passed that business on to a local retailer. We all complain that we can't source shit here but what are we actually doing to help the dudes taking it on the nose risk wise to bring this stuff in?
Im guilty of the same stuff, or at least have been but im trying hard to support local where possible.

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?
it's a two way street man. it's quite hard (but not impossible) for local to compete on price. They HAVE to compete on service. Being open 4 days a week and refusing a call is not service. Want our support? Earn it the way RS Dave, Polar Bear, ex-RS Matt and many more have all done. I'll pay a bit more and support local because they have been fantastic, not just because.. they're local.StrummersOfThunder wrote:Congrats and im sure its a beauty ... not having a dig but but its a shame you couldn't have passed that business on to a local retailer.

I wish I could agree, but when the supplier is a dick what do you do? If you can't run a retail business then you shouldn't run a retail business. I have sourced from Anderton's a guitar that cost me half what Musicworks were asking for it. Order was placed this time last year on a Sunday night and it was delivered to my doorstep the next Friday. Admittedly I wasn't charged GST, but FFS, I have struggled to get things from Auckland to Christchurch in less than a week via Musicworks.StrummersOfThunder wrote:Congrats and im sure its a beauty ... not having a dig but but its a shame you couldn't have passed that business on to a local retailer.

Yeah, if a retail business looks after me I will be loyal, if I can source stuff from the Rockshop I will give them my business. Dave and the Christchurch team always go out of their way to make everything as easy as possible, job done.
Some random with a ute and a cellphone looking to wheel and deal? Yeah, not so much, better be cheaper than importing, because a ute and a cellphone move on quick when things go South.
I don't believe that a New Zealand business somehow deserves support just because they're in New Zealand, better an amazing international dealer than a shithouse local one, by far.
Tin arse!!
