I assumed TWHG originally, but with brands like North Face, Marmont, Cue, Cotton:On... I figured it must be a whole lot broader (unless they are all suppliers to TWHG)

 

 

 

edit: In other news, I see you can easily (and unintentionally) subscribe to their Market Club subscription service which will start charging you $6-$7/mo from 29 Jan. No thanks.

I seem to recall it was a bunch of leading NZ retailers that came together to create a "one stop shop" to fend off Amazon AU (which has been speculated to begin operations in NZ for ages now), plus online shopping from overseas.

IronH:oh crap. I ordered a 32" 4k 2mnths ago, its meant to ship this week, and i ordered another 27" 4k yesterday, it has an eta of 27 January. I hope neither of these get pushed out to 4mnths!

 

 

 

Yes I ordered that same 32" 2 months ago, and was told last week it would be 30 Jan for delivery. Hence my question :)

 

 

 

Just ordered the Xiaomi Mi 34" 144Hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor for $580

Can use code 'giveit-twl-15off-20201125' to take an extra $15 off (orders $100 and over).

Wow, seems like a very good deal. Just bought their Vero 50 inch for $360 yesterday (via TheMarket), perhaps I'll return it.

 

Can't find any reviews about that TV though?

What's a good 32" monitor for sale on Black Fri/Cyb Mon? Not from the Dell site as their shipping times are currently about 3-4 months (I know from experience).

 

oh crap. I ordered a 32" 4k 2mnths ago, its meant to ship this week, and i ordered another 27" 4k yesterday, it has an eta of 27 January. I hope neither of these get pushed out to 4mnths!

 

 

 

I'm assuming this was from DELL? I'm really interested in their 32" 4K monitor but the 55 day delivery is putting me off.

The market is just a warehouse owned store front that other retailers can also sell through as a market place, similar to Amazon's market place really. I use it a fair bit but mainly because of things like the 10% off codes bringing a Noel Leeming sale price down even further.

The market club is ok if you are ordering over $45 if stuff regularly. I took the free trial and cancelled then paid for a month once because it was the same price as my orders postage anyway so seemed worth it just in case I wanted another order that month, you can cancel as soon as you sign up but I agree it's sneaky to try sign you up covertly.

Anyone on vodafone you can actually get free membership through the my rewards program they run, a nice free perk.

Note to anyone buying Apple. The gift card is Apple store only. Not the more useful iTunes usable one. Mother was caught out by this thinking she’d be able to use the gift cards to keep funding her iCloud account. Alas no.

If I can use more than one gift card on my upcoming Apple product purchase, I’ll be more than happy to buy it off her in exchange of donating a small amount to the local foodbank.

I took a punt as with the extra discount code the s3221qs came down to under NZD $650

I'm a big fan of USB-C monitors so upgraded to the U3210Q from PB Tech. https://www.dell.com/en-nz/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-4k-usb-c-monitor-u3219q/apd/210-aqwr/monitors-monitor-accessories

 

 

 

Previously I had the LG 27" USB-C 4K monitor which is great also.
