Just highlight whatever it is you want to turn into a link, then click the 'insert/edit link' button on the far left of the editor (I'm on PC). 43234234234234

 

PXC 550 vs. 450BT, no idea. YouTube and Reddit might be a good place to start.  

 

 

Thank you

Noel Leeming Wairau Park just refused to price match PBTech under their “Price Promise”. “We’re not price matching Black Friday deals” was the manager’s only comment. I just turned and walked out without saying a word.

 

Walked across the road to JBHiFi, who were only too happy to price match. So they got my money.

 

I wanted the item (Samsung Trio Charger) today, so PBTech’s click and collect wasn’t going to work.

I purchased something on PB Tech click and collect last Sunday and got the message that it was ready to be picked up ten minutes later so sometimes it does work pretty quickly, but I guess no guarantees vs going in store!

The drone I bought took 6 minutes!

 

Faster than shopping in store lol

I must say I took the estimation of next day availability for click and collect at face value. Handy to know it’s a lot quicker than that.

I'm really tempted to buy the Samsung A52s 5G for $589  about $110 of normal retail but I would hate to buy it and find that the 5G, VoVTE and VoWiFi won't work on 2D and Skinny. (Yeh I know Skinny has no VoWiFi yet) 

 

Any confirm that these phones will work across all carriers in NZ ??

Other half and I bought one Airtag each, click and collect was available 5 minutes after placing the order.

 

I like the way they make their pick up processes very clear over (provide a valid NZ phone number, don't show up at the store until you get the text and make sure you havd photo ID) a couple of pages, before you get to the payment page so people don't really have any excuses to say they missed something.

Just a heads up - they have  Surface Pro 8's with discounts at the moment. I'd ordered from Microsoft direct on the 4th - but the item has been stuck in customs for over a week so I cancelled that order and ordered the same from PBTech - click and collect -  for tomorrow -  and saved $250 in the process

7 days since my item was picked up in Wellington, hasn't moved at all. I know that Covid has created some delays but this is just unacceptable. It hasn't even reached Auckland yet so I may as well add another week once it gets to Auckland. No point ringing them up as they will just give some half arse excuse about Covid etc etc.

I have the same issue. Tracking shows picked up on 6Nov, and hasnt moved since then. Courier Picked up in Ak for delivery in Ak

 

Courier post tracking page states "do not call unless your parcel has been delayed longer than 10 working days"
