Fishpond (Website Review)

Hi everyone, today I'll be reviewing the website Fishpond (New Zealand). I have ordered two times from them now so I do have a bit of experience from them. This website is similar to NZ game shop, so all the stock comes from overseas(or most at least).

The website offers free shipping on all orders. This is good if the price of the item is cheap enough. I have to say that there are times that the item is cheaper than other local websites. I think that they can get away with the cheap prices is because of how cheap things can be overseas. Stuff sold locally in NZ can be a bit expensive. One thing which I have noticed which is normally always cheaper than other places are their books. I managed to buy a lot of Avatar books from this site at up to $10+ more cheaper than other places, including Mighty Ape which I think is pretty expensive!!

The down side on some of their items is that they're fake. I have looked at some of their Pokemon plush toys at least and I can tell that they're fake. Extremely cheap prices of items from China or Hong Kong, you can do the math. Though I'm not 100% so I can't really say much about it.

So far, all packages I have ordered from them have come inside a bubble bag. Although this is the case, my second order had some creases and bends which I wasn't really happy with, but it's not too much of a problem I guess.

Overall it's an alright site. I'm not big on buying from this site though as it takes 2+ weeks to arrive, slower than NZ Game Shop at least, and NZ game shop has rewards at least. But it's a trusting site, and I don't really have any problems with it at all.
