My full HomePod was $NZ395 from the USA here https://eshop.macsales.com

 

The delivery from the USA in Oct last year was amazing - ordered Friday and delivered on Monday afternoon - must have just caught all the right timings for flights etc.

 

But they don't seem to have any listed currently .

The HP Mini is still a great sounding speaker.  I would LOVE to get a fullsized HomePod for more serious listening though.

 

 

It would be neat to combine 2 full-sized HomePods with 2 minis to create a better cinema experience.

 

The rumour mill says that there's a mid-range HomePod coming, but who knows when that will happen.

Did you have to pay further import taxes?

No - delivered to my door by courier - no other charges. The $NZ395 was the charge on my credit card statement.

@timbosan How much was shipping from Oz for two minis? Are you still looking at shipping some more over? Wondering whether to get my mate to get some and send them

Hi, I am looking at shipping over about 8 at the moment.  When I got the my own original 2, I had them couriered (the most expensive option) which was $50AUD.  I can get this down to around $210-ish per unit landed.  I should have an order done this weekend, which then would arrive in a week or so (slowest option as its the cheapest).

Currently plans are to get up front deposits from people interested (so I am not left with 10 homepods!) then once they get here, work out the balance.  Let me know if your interested.

@mobiusnz - I hope you don't mind this thread turning into a group-buy!  Do you want any for yourself?

Can Mwave in Aussie be trusted? They’ll deliver a Mini to NZ for AUD $156 + $14 shipping. Approx NZD $181.

Yeah, that's about a low as someone can go, unless they bring back a suitcase or two full of them!  Let me know if you have want any.  I will be sorting out an order in the next day or two :-)

Hey all, so I have had several PM's about getting some HomePod Mini's and thought I should post here the current plans.  Please note - I am not a business, this is just to help out others on Geekzone.  Current plans are:

* Landed price in NZ around $210-ish.  I am in Auckland, so if your elsewhere in NZ budget another $5 or so to get it to you
* Since we are in level 3, you can do contact-less pickup or happy to post
* Deposit is $100 up front per unit (sorry, as much as I love my HomePods, I don't want to be left with 8 spare ones!!)
* I will wait a day or two before taking deposits and placing the order to try and get close to multiples of 4
* These are brand new sealed products from Ausi and come with USB-C power adapters

I will PM everyone tomorrow who is interested with details.

Happy to answer questions!!

Just an update on this, the first batch of 4 HomePod minis have been purchased and are being posted tomorrow.  Slight delay due to a miscalculation in packaging:



However if I wanted to send over 18 at a time, I now know the size for the packaging!!!!  I am planning another order next week, just waiting for people to confirm and pay.  PM me if your interested.
