logo: I know a company in liquidation is marked as such on the companies office website but does the same apply if it's in receivership or voluntary administration?
The Dick Smith NZ company looks fine. IN which case if only the Australian parent company has gone into receivership (leaving the NZ company untouched - for now), can they actually refuse to accpet/honour the gift cards/vouchers? (I know they're not legal tender)
sbiddle: NZ company is in exactly the same as the AU one. It's dead. Nothing will change that.
Anybody with a gift voucher is an unsecured creditor. End of story. You've got very little chance of seeing any of your money.
dafman: Gift card holders. It's really unfortunate, I know, but you are wasting your time researching companies office, getting in contact with credit card companies, trying to find loopholes etc.
They're dead Jim.
trig42: How big is the Riccarton DSE?
Would it be big enough to fit a JB HiFi? (JB Stores have a much bigger footprint than the average DSE, but a DSE Powerstore like they have at Sylvia Park, and Manukau would be big enough).
Wonder if JB are interested. Probably not given the small size of most of the stores.
It's been a couple of years since I left Chch but from memory it's a decent size, but probably too small for a JB Hifi. It's a bit of an annoying space for a retailer, it's split over two levels and the bottom floor is a bit useless due to its size. I've always found it strange that we have a JB down here in Dunedin but there isn't one up in Chch.

sbiddle: Nobody will want the Dick Smith brand. There is no value in it.

Yeah, I think the earthquake stuffed things up for JB in CHCH - they need a pretty big footprint (and I'd assume bigger now that they have Home stores here in Auckland with Whiteware etc).

They'd make it fit!
It's big enough - and JB's don't mind stocking products on top of racks, so warehousing may be fine. However, once you bring whitegoods into the frame it becomes trickier.
I'm sure DSE and Noel's have put on a lot of pressure in the past to keep them out of Westfields as they'd do some sizable damage to their business.
Ultimately, there have been numerous opportunities to move into Chch in recent years,
mattwnz: It is interesting to read articles in the NZ media, calling people who buy from the distress sales, as vultures. But the fact is that someone needs to buy the goods, and they are likely to get more by selling them off in a retail environment, than any other way. So the people buying them are providing a service, and sometimes getting a bargain at the same time. Possibly the goods may not have a warranty, or any CGA coverage if the retailer is no longer trading and they imported the good directly. Also the fact is that there are companies whose main business is picking over the carcass of a distressed company, and make a lot of money for it, and they aren't often critised.
I've joined a carpenters course. Haven't made anything yet....we've only just begun.
