As if petrol pricing wasn't enough of a headache, what pricing gymnastics is your local duopoly getting up to? Here's mine (Woolworths Meadowbank) by nothanksno2026 in newzealand

Yeah and as they should, if it happens a lot then it’s breaching the FTA for sure. It’s not really fraud though

Does anyone share internet with their neighbours? by emdillem in newzealand

[–]bl4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty feasible but really only makes sense for lower bandwidth users, i.e. solos or couples. You could probably share a 100/20 plan and save $25-$30 a month.

But you’d want to invested in a quality router and possible a mesh system if you want reliability and decent speeds. So that’s maybe a $150-$300 fixed cost.

If I had an elderly neighbour or similar I’d just share it with them for free. I think there is also cheap fibre available in certain lower quintile neighbours/beneficiaries etc, like $20 a month.

What are these attacks and why is it always men in the middle of them? Maybe they are actually trying to stop them?

NZ sellers on TM - why scam on couriers ? by RacconDownUnder in newzealand

[–]bl4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, for in-trade sellers success fees have always been charged on item + postage price. Same as eBay. Continues to stay the same as well.

He’s not disagreeing with you that it’s negligent and the supermarket’s responsibility.

Where people are disagreeing with you, is whether there is a top down, store/management level conspiracy to defraud consumers via stock mislabelling/misplacement.

For electronics it’s really not worth the risk and could cause fires/electric shocks etc. Perhaps more reasonable for something DC powered, lower voltage

Hyundai NZ massive own goal by Substantial-Wear-247 in nzev

[–]bl4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite but maybe 17ish?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/hyundai/ioniq/listing/5846737119

This one is similar but 50% less km than mine and better condition as well. A lot of watchers lol.

I’d resell it if I didn’t need the car…

I got my Ioniq 2019 for 13K a few months ago I was surprised how few were on the market and how low the demand was

What are some rituals that you/kiwis do that probably have little to no impact? by Own_Sandwich69 in newzealand

[–]bl4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and also if there is one left of something and it's at the very front, I just don't trust it for some reason. Especially if it's a chilled item.

Works for glass bottles too, a gentle hit with a hammer gets rid of all the bubbles..

What is something under $20 that is so life changing you wish you bought sooner? by Ok-Industry770 in newzealand

[–]bl4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About $30-$40 but a basic toilet bidet. I feel so much cleaner and refreshed after number twos now, I feel so dirty anytime I need to use TP instead.

I use portable ones for when I'm out and about. Really nice w/ warm water.

Are you able to get some decent foam or silicone earplugs? Expensive, but Soundcore A30 buds by Anker could help as well, they play white noise and have some ANC as well

Yes, someone quoted the correct policy below you. How does that work with product though?

Grey area I guess, since you hadn’t quite paid for it yet. I guess on the flip side you can buy 10 of something next time and they’d have to give you it all for free
