This is just a quick post to say Happy Luna New Year!
And also to reassure our valued customers that we are still open, and still accepting and processing orders.
Happy Year Of The Dragon!
Yes, we’re still open for business!
The last few months, and especially the last 4 weeks, have been extraordinary! Our sympathies go out to everyone who has been affected one way or another by this virus. Self isolation and social distancing has not been fun, but finally the restrictions that have been placed on us are about to ease when we drop down to Alert Level 3 after 11:59pm on Monday.
So we thought it was timely to remind you that Earbuds NZ is still operating. We have been processing some orders over the last four weeks, though not as often as we’d have liked. But we are up to full steam again now and orders are again able to be processed and dispatched most days (though likely this will only be on weekends during level 3 lockdown)!
Please note that some customers are reporting long delivery delays through NZ Post. Please allow at least a couple of weeks.
Take care and stay well.
New Year – New Prices
Everything changes all the time. Here at Earbuds NZ, we are no different.
We had a price freeze on our Standard Post prices since July 2018, when NZ Post raised their postal rates. But we’ve now had to bring our postage costs in line with them.
On the bright side, we’re dropping the prices of all our Standard, Sony and Apple tips to no more than $2.00 a pair as of January 1st, 2019.
In case you missed it, the prices of the Jaybird tips were dropped prior to Christmas and are only $2.00 a pair.
The prices of the Bose, Samsung and Motorolas will remain unchanged for now.
We are looking forward to your custom throughout 2019, and as always, if you have any queries whatsoever, feel free to drop us a line through our contact page.
Happy New Year!

New Website Look – Coming Soon!!
September is going to be an exciting month… we’re coming up to our 9th anniversary soon, and it’s time for a little bit of a refresh of our website.
It will become more optimised for users of mobile devices and tablets as these count for around 70% of our users. Earbuds NZ will still look amazing on large screen formats too!
And it will be fast! Very fast!!
Naturally, we’ll still have the best selection of tips in Australasia, and the best customer service of course!
Shipping Prices Frozen – For a LIMITED time!
When the weather is this cold, it’s awesome for us to be able to give you some great news. So, until the 10th of July (inclusive), we’re ignoring NZ Post and not putting up our shipping prices for orders within New Zealand!
Apologies to our Aussie cousins, your postage costs still have to go up, and are now $2.40.
So, Standard Post orders will remain at $2.00, and ParcelPost orders will remain at $3.00.
And some more good news is that NZ Post have decided to drop the cost of adding Tracking to ParcelPost orders, so we’re passing this cost on to you. It is now only $1 extra to get ParcelPost Tracked!
So get your orders in quick to take advantage of these great shipping deals while they last!!
May Madness is HERE… and it’s MAD!
May is generally considered the last third of Autumn, the final countdown towards the depths of Winter. Yes… Winter IS Coming!
But here at Earbuds NZ, we want to keep the warm and fuzzies going just a little bit longer by having a little madness… May Madness!
For the whole of this month Apple, Sony and Standard tips start at just $2.00. And don’t forget, the more pairs you buy, the cheaper they become – courtesy of our famous increasing discount.

Living in the wop wops? Rural Delivery for the win – again!
When NZ Post added their Rural Delivery surcharge, we removed the option of ParcelPost deliveries to rural areas because the cost of the surcharge was outrageous, and we never thought anybody would ever want to pay that much extra for a parcel.
It turns out we were wrong. And for that, we apologise whole-heartedly to all of our RD customers!
So we have added an option at checkout to indicate that your address is a Rural Delivery address. It is located just below where you enter your billing/shipping address. Just tick the box, and the surcharge will be added to your order.
If you haven’t ticked that box, and you have selected ParcelPost or ParcelPost Tracked as your shipping option when you pay for your order, shipping of your order could be delayed.
And just a reminder, standard letters don’t incur a surcharge for Rural Deliveries.
Introducing ParcelPost Tracked
Earbuds NZ is pleased to announce we now provide the option of ParcelPost Tracked. This is a great option for people who just want peace of mind.
Our standard policy has been to only charge you, the customer, what postage actually costs. However, as ParcelPost Tracked actually requires visiting an NZ Post branch, we feel it is necessary to include an additional 50 cents surcharge for the additional effort required to send your package.
This postage method will also be required for sending replacement orders to people who have reported their first order as lost. This ensures the replacement order gets where it’s intended.
If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it!
UPDATE: I have recently been made aware of the ParcelPost Tracked Upgrade tickets that can be purchased from the Post Office. This is a stand-alone sticker with a tracking code that can be added to ParcelPost parcels. This saves a trip to the Post Office, and means the 50 cent surcharge is no longer required! Saves us hassle, and saves you money… now that’s what I call Win-Win!
