Warranties and consumer rights
Several local makers offer 10-year warranties on melamine wardrobes and sliding doors, and these usually cover defects in materials and workmanship for a set period. The Consumer Guarantees Act covers wardrobes bought for personal or household use, and a manufacturer's or extended warranty gives extra protection above consumer law. Keep the quote, the design sheet and the invoice, because a warranty claim depends on proof of purchase. Some makers also publish care and maintenance instructions for sliding doors, so read them before you order.
Season and when to order
November is a good time to measure. The summer months of December to February are a common renovation period in New Zealand homes, and a fitted wardrobe ordered now can be in place before the holidays. Winter, from June to August, brings damp to many houses, so measure with the heating on and leave room for doors to move. Older timber houses in Wellington and Christchurch can have uneven walls, so ask for a measure on site before you order a walk-in system.
What to specify and how it is bought here
Wardrobes are sized by width, height and depth in centimetres, and listings give prices per unit or per system. Ask whether the price includes measuring and installation, since some makers offer both free and others charge for them. In your request, give the width, height and depth of the space, whether you want ready-made or custom, the number of sliding doors, the contents (hanging rails, shelves, drawers), the material and colour, and the city: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga. Ask who handles delivery from the workshop to your city.
On BlaBlaPrice you describe the space in your own words and can add a photo of it. The request is free. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive it and reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
