Hi All
Just in case your mobile phone gives up and you desperately need a new one. My wife's mobile gave up initially with a non stoppable bootloop.
Anyway we ordered a P4a on the 10th of April. It arrived yesterday, so 18 days later. Being held at costums and whatever other delays. It was bought from an online shop in NZ(supposedly) and came from AU(supposedly).
So if you are desperate better go and buy in the shop here.

Dick Smith website, customer db and brand was sold to Kogan a few years ago so it's basically Kogan au you purchased from and they drop ship to nz. 18 days is relatively good for them.

Sorry to say this won't help the OP, but my phone died this month and I brought a pixel 4a from Mighty Ape. They price matched Dick Smith pricing and had next day delivery.

Would recommend Mighty Ape for buying this phone.

Thanks

 

It does not help in this case though very helpful for the next one. To date I have been very  shy to buy anything from MA. Not for any particular reason.

don't Dick Smith / Kogan own Might Ape?

 

So when you ask Mighty Ape to price match Dick Smith, well . . . . hmmmmmmmm

Yeah, Kogan has just brought Mighty Ape - so I did laugh as I requested the price match :)

 

I've had nothing but good service Might Ape over the years and are more confident that being an Auckland based company returns will be easier and the CGA more reliable.
