Are imported goods and/or services listed on Buy Kiwi?
- The fact is New Zealand does not produce all of the good and/or services we need or want to purchase. Examples such as iPhones, TV’s, Washing Machines, Motor Vehicles, Laptops, Personal Computer and many more. Given this very real situation, our position is wherever possible we should purchase imported goods from Kiwi owned businesses* to minimise the amount of New Zealand dollars being sent overseas and to maximise the benefits of helping Kiwi businesses thrive. Hence, some imported goods and/ or services are listed on Buy Kiwi.
- When you buy imported goods from a Kiwi-owned business, not only are you helping to keep more of your hard-earned dollars in New Zealand, you are ensuring you are protected as a consumer by New Zealand laws such as the Consumer Guarantees Act & The Fair Trading Practices Act.
- Our Buy Kiwi platform gives you 100% confidence you are buying from kiwi-owned businesses, not some overseas company masquerading under a .co.nz website.
- Unlike TradeMe (Overseas Owned), Amazon (Overseas Owned), Temu (Overseas Owned), TheMarket and many other online marketplaces, Buy Kiwi is 100% Kiwi with only Kiwi-owned businesses selling on Buy Kiwi.
- So don’t help some overseas CEO buy a new holiday house- shop on Buy Kiwi and know you are helping New Zealand & our local communities thrive & prosper.
