Tuesday, January 4 - Day After New Year’s

If you fell short shopping gifts for Christmas, grab this chance to get bigger deals and discounts. Shops and online retailers typically use this time to clear out last season's inventory to make room for the new year's.

How does COVID affect retail in NZ?

As New Zealand and the rest of the world adapt to the new normal, retailers are also expected to observe sanitary guidelines, especially during the holidays.

In Alert Level 3 areas, QR scans, contactless payments, and the use of sanitisers are being implemented.

While it is still unsafe to go outside, it is best to shop for your needs and requirements online.
