Today we are off to Auckland, to a specific jewellers in fact. I'm keen to see what's on offer up there compared to here in Hamilton.
If we don't find anything better than what I saw yesterday, we'll come home and get the one I have my eye on.
Or not. I might even wait until we are in Australia next month, to see what's available over there? Just not sure yet.
But, it's nice to look, compare, and get a firm idea of what I want. It's going to be the last ring I buy for sure, so I want it to make me happy.
Right, time to get ourselves up and sorted, ready to leave around 9.

Beware of buying a ring in Australia - you have to declare it when you return and pay duty and GST. Here is the official wording:
ReplyDeleteTax and Duty Considerations
If the ring's value is NZ$1,000 or less: You generally don't need to pay duty or GST on arrival, as GST was likely collected when you purchased it.
If the ring's value is over NZ$1,000: You must declare the item, and duty and GST will likely apply. GST is a 15% tax, and there's a 5% import duty.
On checking it may not apply as it's a personal item. Confusing for sure!
