evilknieval69 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey, just wondering if anyone had purchased anything from fish-street.com before?? Looking at getting a bulb for my metal halide off them, seems too good to be true at only 14bucks a piece plus 8 odd dollars shipping, considering places in nz want 130 for them!! Also wondering if there's any hidden taxes I might encounter? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yo, I use them all the time, so do many others here. They're awesome and quick with postage too. They label them as a gift so there's no hidden taxes or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Siiiick!! There's heaps of cool cheap stuff on there I'm keen to get! Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, go for it. I remember a time when I placed an order with fishstreet and a TM dealer in Auckland on the same day and the fishstreet order arrived first :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 haha mark! Just make sure with any electronics you get that it's 240V, otherwise you need an expensive transformer. You can then (with the 240V stuff) either get an adaptor or change the plug for a NZ one. I do love that site though, have lots of little wavemakers, bulbs etc from it.

LYNDYLOO Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 When I go to this site and click on an item it sends me off to some advertising page. Am I on the right site :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 ive purchased stuff from them a bit sometimes the currency conversion isnt up to date and it can work out considerably cheaper to pay in us dollar on there instead of nzd and let paypal do the conversion. also as markLB said shipping is fast although that depends on customs here to a certain degree ive had stuff turn up in 5days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I got a 150w HQI bulb from Fish-Street. $20.00 NZD incl. postage :thup: It arrived super fast. And I have had no problems with the bulb at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Fast, cheap and they put the value of your item really cheap on the outside of the box so you don't get pinged for GST or duty Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I got a tds meter and a few other bits and they arrived rattling round in a big box with a single sheet of bubble wrap. Not well packaged but cheap, I'm not sure if bulbs are something you want to go cheap with tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
