Hello all, I ordered a Maximite about a week ago from Richtech.nz (I paid via PayPal and received confirmation from Graeme that the payment was received and that the Maximite would be sent to me in France within a couple of days). Since I have not heard anything new after that original exchange (I was supposed to get an email with a tracking number), I sent a follow-up email yesterday asking for any updates, but have not received a reply (yet). I am wondering if anyone else has ordered from Rictech. What is your experience? Should I worry, or is such a delay totally normal? (I do not mind waiting at all—I just like to know what to expect.) Thank you for sharing your insights - I never ordered anything from NZ before, so your feedback is helpful! |

Hi Gadgetguy, I have ordered several times from Richtech.nz. Never had a problem. You could however face import duties depending on the relation between France and New Zealand. In my last order the shipment was held at customs, I received a message to pay import duties and administration fee, and after that the package was released, and I had it in possession in 48 hrs. So watch out for a letter from customs if the package is delayed long. Volhout Edited 2025-05-03 00:25 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

How come no-one is making the connection? Rictech.nz is Grogster. Never a problem with my deliveries, here in UK. |

Yes, you emailed me to see if I had the order, I confirmed that, but have been a little delayed last week. Your order is all packaged and will ship tomorrow - you should also have now received an email to that effect complete with tracking number. I'm a one-man-band business, and can't always send things the very next day from the date you order, but rest assured I do process all orders ASAP.  Smoke makes things work.
