Hi guys, my friend from New Zealand wants to buy an A1 Mini Combo but he found there is no option to deliver to New Zealand on the Bambu Global website (X1 and P1 series have the option).
Does anyone know why or when it is possible to buy the A1 series in New Zealand?

Can be purchased from Mindkits New Zealand, based in Auckland.

Thank you, but can I use the gift cards redeemed by points on that website?
the a1 is having problems currently, no one can buy one until they get stock of the updated version, the current one has a heated error, me being an owner of one and very impatient person in terms of waiting for parts delivery, I know about this stuff.
Sometimes product availability may vary from country to country due to various reasons such as shipping restrictions, local import regulations or contractual obligations with suppliers. It is possible that the manufacturer or distributors are working to expand the availability of their products in New Zealand, but the exact timing may not be known.
the a1 should be availible everywhere once bambu gets all the a1 units in their stock updated, it just costs more to ship to isolated areas such as islands and such.
Why is Mindkits so expensive? Over $300 more for the A1 than it would cost to buy directly from Bambu Lab…
Do not worry about it and get one directly from Bambu Lab.
It keeps converting the store to the US one, that should work now.
$499 AUD
I don’t know in this case but New Zealand and Australia have fairly high import duties that get passed on to buyers of things subject to it.
Mail order stuff may not reflect those duties but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still there. People buying more expensive stuff can find their package held up in customs with a demand for the tariff money to release it. Apparently not all things get flagged but when they do, you get to pony up.
Probably also depends on what it is if it’s subject to tariffs or not so this may or may not apply to 3D printers. Buyers of VR goggles were finding out about this not too long ago. Best to know before buying to avoid a surprise, though.
Probably distance and cost.
Is there anyway to get one shipped to NZ without a $250USD shipping cost?
I do not have an answer for you, I am just sorry you are in this situation.
