    Just bought a case holder off him the other day and it triggered an idea he may be able to supply a screw for my Benelli clamp. Cheers.

    I'd come off nightshift and forgot it was saturday and was having trouble processing an online order so tried to call him, only to get the answer phone. At this point I clicked to what day it was and Left it. About 4.30 that afternoon he called, apologising for missing my call as he was chasing stags all morning (well it was the roar after all) then done my order over the phone.
    What other retailer would do that? Not many I bet!!!

    Stuff the prices or great service - the surprise of jelly beans or knives gets me every time

    Bloody great service though. Cant think of better for online ordering. Very well rounded ( price, service, extras, etc)
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Julian is a businessman with a brain, is extremely knowledgeable and knows his product. Doesn't pretend to know it all like some FW at GC either. The service is exemplary, the prices very competitive, the product range are quality items that work. Has the best, by far, precision reloading equipment for sale in NZ.

    Julian is a top bloke and I buy all my reloading components through him when he's got what I'm after in stock. I won't buy from Auckland GC, much less even put my foot in the front door if their premises. Absolute worst customer service ever. Jokes on them though. They fucked me around over $20.00 worth of reloading gear and kept me waiting half an hour. I had a budget of $3500 for an over/under shotgun and there was one in their shop I was almost going to buy but decided my money was better spent in another shop.
