A little while ago I wrote an article about how New Zealanders should take advantage of the strong dollar and shop on overseas websites (here). DHL recently released some figures that show a 26.6% growth in deliveries to New Zealand between March and September. The main reason for the rise is the buying power the New Zealand dollar offers. Kiwi consumers who are becoming more aware of the fact that they can get a variety of items overseas for a lot cheaper are taking to the internet for their shopping needs.
The top 5 sites where Kiwi’s are shopping:
1. Amazon
Probably the largest e-commerce website that has a strong presence around the world. They offer a variety of items which include books, electronics and beauty products just to name a few. It is popular with Kiwis as a place to buy books, music, clothing and jewellery – Click here to visit Amazon.com
2. Shoebuy
As the name suggests, it is a site that has one of the largest selection of women’s, men’s and kids’ shoes. They stock over 1,200 brands and have everything from casual shoes to dress shoes and athletic shoes – Click here to visit Shoebuy.com
3. Shopbop

Are there any other sites that you would recommend for online bargains?
I have visited Amazon.com website.this website is good to those for looking good stuff with less effort.
I only believe on Amazon.com.It has various categories according to need of buyers.World’s no1 online shopping site and has some excellent offers,which everyone wants to cash.Nice post..
I hear you with the strong dollar…I’m in Aus….but the thing that is annoying about Amazon is that they don’t seem to ship a lot of stuff to Australia. Just about anything electronic won’t be shipped. But books and most toys seem ok. I was going to buy halloween costumes from a US site but the freight cost was crazy….same price as the actual costume.
Very TRUE! Amazon doesn’t ship electronics internationally and some retailers charge an arm and a leg for shipping. Have you ever looked at using a service such as MyUS to get electronics shipped from Amazon or as an alternative for other online retailers? Let me know what you think about them
