Of course I wont.  Thanks for your considered response - troll.  I was trying to buy them locally and to support a local business, but you can just shoot me down for that if you wish.  I would be happy to pay a local supplier a little extra to support them, but I can't warrant paying $20 extra on an item that I can get for $33.  Especially when I want 2 or 3.  I guess there is a whole bunch of people on geekzone that agree with me given the number of people ordering from Aussie.

Thanks for coming... have a nice day.

First, thanks for insulting (calling me a troll).

Second: it's obvious that any business sets their prices to the organic balance between being profitable and being acceptable by customers. And it's fine if you can afford to buy at one place and prefer the other. For them the profitable and reasonable margin is ~$20. It's surprising to see someone ranting about it aloud: you don't like it - you don't buy it, that simple.

You are trolling and you are ranting. Please go away you are starting to annoy me. I was trying to do business with someone that is not you. My reply was for them, not you.

Next time you want to contact someone directly - prefer private messaging or any other channel that is different from a public message board. That way you completely eliminate from your words to be discussed.

Oh wait, then your ranting will see no one but a business that does not care much.

freitasm: Also stop calling each other names. This is not what we stand for.

CokemonZ: Hi guys,

Definitely didn't mean to start a war.
I believe our price is fair.
And Kirk, you are right, you can buy straight from Australia.

freitasm: One of my Heatermate devices is not turning on (push the On button and the LED doesn't light up - neither green or red).

I tried to pushing the reset button and it is still not working. It shows the current temperature but where it would show the set temperature it just flashes LO. 

Anyone seen this? I am going to contact Heatermate now.

deadlyllama: One of our heatermates died within a few weeks of arrival; the other one is OK.  Returning it was too much of a pain (bought from Australia) so I ended buying some cheap heater controllers from Aliexpress.  They're not as nice looking as the heatermate but both are still working.

As a device you use to connect powerful appliances it makes sense to use something that is certified for use in NZ. Otherwise there might be issues with insurance.

freitasm: What about you @timmmay ?
