Hi everyone,

I'm looking at purchasing a new Android tablet from this website www.pctablet.co.nz. Has anyone used it before?
If so, what was your experience like?

Thank you

Never dealt with them but any site that doesn't give a physical address or even a phone number I avoid.




Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

When the name of the business is an actual item...also can't see any contact details at all, not even a PO Box or limited liability company name. It doesn't look like they are a registered NZ company.

Their whois info is also fairly lacking, although there is a phone number and gmail, but I am fairly sure that "New Zealand" is not a valid contact address and city?

Pretty sure they have to provide their full details in the whois.

As pointed out, no company name so they can't be searched in the comapnies register.

The website source contains links to 100.newzealand.co.nz and they appear to be hosted on Iconz so may be a legitimate .nz business.

I've flicked them an email about the above and will post the gist of their response if/when I receive it.

The managing director can be found, via http://www.pctablet.co.nz/contact.html, and clicking on Ethan.

Removed direct link to name.

Looks like Web Widgets was contracted to register and provide the CMS solution. Decent enough but why bother.

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I think I'll source one from else where.
