That 315 is in NZ$ delivered and with 5% off for giving them your email address or liking on faceplant you get just below NZ$300.

Yea that's what I did, the signup etc and it took me down to 297 nzd by memory. Bought on tue night and was at my door sat morning.

Im not on facebook either, just did some email thing and got emailed a discount code.

Got one on the way now too, prices have gone up slightly (or just exchange rate) so it came to $301 all up.

Our dollar is dripping quickly thanks to out government dumping our currency to make the dollars we earn look better. Back to SMP's in a slightly more subtle way.

I see that bloke in Aussie has been stopped from selling the Ocean Signal PLB's here in NZ as the NZ agent was complaining he was selling them to cheap!

SKIPPERSMATE TOO CHEAP FOR NEW ZEALAND RETAILERS - WHERE IS THE JUSTICE!

Thanks Kudo. I can still sell the Ocean Signal Australian Coded one - you just have to register it with AMSA in Australia instead of the RCCNZ in Wellington. I also have an NZ coded KTI SA2G PLB which is AU$299 landed into NZ - as commented above.

So we can get them even cheaper now? You the man bro!!

Who's the NZ agent? They deserve a complaint to the commerce commission.

Mine arrived this morning. Very happy with it though the neck strap looks like it was designed my a committee with three different clips between it and the PLB. All registered and ready for, hopefully, nothing.

Courier tried to drop mine off today too (unless someone else sent me a package I wasn't expecting), will pick it up tomorrow

Does feel a bit funny buying something and hoping that you'll never use it!

Why? If they are the "authorised" local agent then they can set the price, customers ultimately can decide for themselves whether its worth it.
Oh I love people who buy overseas then expect the local agent to honor the warrenty on something they did not sell.
My employer will not touch Grey Imports of our products.
rant over and back off my hobby horse

Am keen on a plb now, which is the best one?

Am not worried about price, just wanting the best product

I don't think there is much difference between them, because of the specs they have to meet. I just bought the ACR resQlink. Mainly because of price and the first aid kit that came with it.
