One rule to remember:

MAKE A BIG FUCKING FUSS

Don't email, ring the bastards. Get on the phone to ExtraVision in Queensland.

Talk to the guy in the current thread in the Community Section here: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....1/#post1182222. See if he can help you.

I have contact details for specific individuals in Queensland if you need, which hopefully you won't.

Did I say make a BIG FUSS?

We actually got appointed as an importer for vortex a longtime ago. But then had it taken from us by an Aus company before we even got to land a shipment. Since then that aus company lost the dealership to extavision.

We went back to vortex again around 6 months ago offering to look after kiwis locally. The first question they came back with was where are you sourcing vortex from now. We cutoff comms at that point knowing that kiwis would get shafted again. Vortex have recently sent us an email via their lawyer instructing us to remove their products from our website.

So unfortunately, unless you buy from us, you can kiss good bye NZ warranty as Aus controls the NZ retail scene. We’ve had similar discussions with nightforce and Sig Sauer too.

At the end of the day the buck should stop with the retailer.
