Naturally the local guy isnt going to want help as He hasn’t made any money at all. He's actually losing money just taking to you. That little serial code on it will be your undoing.
Having invested so much in something so important, i reckon paying the extra 17% is worth it. Having your glass back inside of a fortnight is better than waiting 2 months

That sounds wonderful, then you find out the retailers here are parallel importing themselves. So when shit breaks that you paid the ripoff price here for and the wholesaler won't back it (surprise surprise) you would wonder why people even bother going to the shops here. Put your hand up Dunedin h&f you thieving lying cunts.
