Thread: Half price Lowa boots and others

Just found out the NZ Lowa distrubutor complained to Lowa and now Myhuntingshop cannot sell Lowa boots.

Crop, hopefully that doesn't affect orders already shipped! Just as well I didn't wait. If they R complaining does that mean we can buy direct from the nz distributor at the same price as in UK?

I know another site that will ship to nz, not quite as sharp on prices as myhuntingshop but very reasonable, maybe not a good idea to name them though as our crybaby local distributors might put them out too...

Knew that would happen eventually. Their revenue would drop to nothing after a while. Someone trying on the boots at a local H&F store to check sizes probably mentioned something and H&F probably complained to LOWA NZ.

Wasn't me haha.. They thought were getting a sale I'm sure! To be honest though the mark up on these products sickens me and yeah yeah yeah retails doing it tough and they need to pass on gst and freight and overheads, whatever. Call me Scrouge McDuck but I even ask what the beat price they could do at H +F and full retail was it.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I don't mind paying for service when I get some. As a general rule service in NZ is shit. I have fuck all sympathy for retailers who pull that bullshit line, everybody is doing it tough, what makes them so special? Want me to choose you over somebody overseas, offer me something they can't, decent service and support, if I'm probably not going to get it from an overseas company but if it's cheaper than what a kiwi is offering and their service is shite why should I pay more? Workshop Innovations, Outdoor Supplies in Carterton, Waitaki Engineering and NZAR15 get my business because they do offer good service.

Anyway, it looks like my order left before myhuntingshop.com got smacked so fingers crossed it should be arriving soon. I've also emailed both Lowa NZ and Lowa international and told them both exactly what I think of them. I've got no time for monopolys at all, I think they fly completely in the face of capitalism and if we are going to continue with such a screwed up system then i'm going to be doing my best to screw them as much as they are trying to screw me.
