[19:41] <ajmitch> morning
[20:05] <ibeardslee> ohh .. a tweet from Zareason .. Just opened up orders to NZ! Anyone in NZ can order thru zareason.com Use coupon code KIWI for $50 off shipping (for $300+ orders)
[20:18] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: yeah, it's nice to read of them opening up shop in wellington
[20:19] <ibeardslee> The CEO is in Wellington next Tuesday.
[20:19] <ajmitch> so I heard, he should pop in on irc :)
[20:21] <ajmitch> or is it cathy on the about page that's the CEO?
[20:22] <ibeardslee> She
[20:22] <ajmitch> right
[20:42] <mwhudson> morning
[20:42] <mwhudson> who is opening in wellington?
[20:43] <ibeardslee> ZaReason

[20:47] <ajmitch> I'm guessing having a local shop will avoid hassles with customs & gst that you'd have if you order from their US site?
[20:48] <ibeardslee> yeah I imagine so.  Still don't know what stock levels they are planning on having etc
[20:48] <ajmitch> good timing though, as I was just pricing up buying a new desktop
[20:49] <ajmitch> for a desktop it may still be easier for me to buy the parts from somewhere like ascent
[20:50] <ibeardslee> you can also get desktops without windows from silicon systems in Wellington
[21:42] <kcj> Morning.
[22:14] <Atamira> morning
[22:22] <hads> morning
[22:24] <hads> Depending on how they (Zareason) ship you Internationally you could be up for a decent hit of fees with the GST too.
[22:25] <hads> Clearance fees are minimum $40 up to around $140, not including the GST on the full price including shipping.
[22:31] <ibeardslee> oops?
[22:36] <ibeardslee> hads: yeah that'd be something that could workout more 'interesting' that expected
[22:36] <ajmitch> hads: that's why I thought a local shop would avoid those fees directly?
[22:36] <ojwb> morning
[22:37] <ojwb> didn't someone here order from zareason a while ago?
[22:38] <ojwb> thumper maybe?
[22:38] <ibeardslee> someone from work ordered one today
[23:07] <chilts> morning
[23:07] <chilts> ojwb: great quote - "I do believe that he takes too much pride in the brevity of his work" - Mr. Talbot, my geography teacher at age 14
[23:07] <chilts> hehe
[23:08] <ojwb> that was on my school report
[23:16] <chilts> heh, I remember my IT teacher saying that my answers were, whilst correct, too terse!
[23:16] <chilts> I was thinking, well, that sounds good to me :)
