Recommended Suppliers Thread 2014

[Lias]

So the old thread was started in 2008, and half the recommendations are out of date now.

Price comparison sites:
PriceSpy: http://www.pricespy.co.nz
PriceMe: http://www.priceme.co.nz/

Suppliers:
Computer Lounge
http://www.computerlounge.co.nz
Consistently rated the best computer store in NZ.  Favourite of many GetSome users. Winners of PriceSpy's "Online store of the year" last 3 years running. Top rated supplier at GPForums supplier thread. Highly recommended on GeekZone.. you get the idea. Not always the cheapest, but prices include shipping and they will pricematch if approached.

PBTech:
http://www.pbtech.co.nz/
Sometimes good prices, can be a bit hit and miss on support & RMA's. Widely accepted as a solid store however.

Playtech.
http://www.playtech.co.nz
Previously a fan favourite, still has a good reputation for price and supply but tainted by the owners dealings with Xlan and the NZ gaming community. No longer recommended because the owner appeals to the gaming market but only seems to care about profits, not truly care about gaming.

Pass.co.nz

Trademe store run by one of our memberss, and longtime member of the NZ gaming community, KiwiTAZ

Dove in CHCH are good and are a supplier to DRagon PC.

Dove have good people onsite and no issues when I have returned stuff (sad---returned my sapphire 290x)

Cheers

Worth noting that Dove are technically a wholesaler and won't sell direct to the public.

PBTech in Hamilton is pretty solid, almost as big as Penrose store but nowhere near as busy and the staff are great. Obviously only useful if you live in Hamilton...
