Warranty rules to check

The Consumer Guarantees Act covers goods bought for personal or household use in New Zealand, and it expects spare parts and repair services to be available for a reasonable time. A written warranty from the brand must be honoured. Extended warranties must be in writing and easy to understand. Some brands ask you to register a new instrument within 90 days of purchase to qualify, so keep the receipt and register straight away.

Season and when to buy

November is late spring in New Zealand, and summer runs from December to February. Gift buying peaks in the weeks before Christmas, so compare prices early if you need an item by then. June to August is the winter period, when the weather is cold and buyers often plan purchases for the new year.

Delivery, sizes and units

Sellers in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga may ship to the other cities, so ask for the delivery cost to yours before you pay. Listings usually give sizes in centimetres, but some drums and frames are listed in inches, such as 7-inch or 10-inch models, so convert before you compare. Weigh a cajon or a stand in kilograms if you are posting it.

What to put in your request

Name the item and model, then list what must come with it, such as a bag, mount, carry case or beater. Give the size in centimetres, say whether the item is new or used, and state the player's level (school, beginner or professional). Add your budget in NZ$ and your city so sellers can quote the right price.

Describe what you need in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Its AI asks for any missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, including price, terms and delivery. Browse musical instruments or start from the home page.
