Editorial
Ye Olde e-Shoppe
Okay, I've had lots of email but, not surprisingly, many different writers nominated the same handful of shopping sites.

Perhaps, next to cranium.co.nz, the most popular recommendation was for GameZone.co.nz.

Sure enough, Gamezone have been around for quite some time -- hey they even advertised on Aardvark long ago (see how that investment paid off guys? :-)

Here's the rest of the list, in no particular order:

Now I'm not endorsing any of the above sites -- remember it's a big bad world out there so caveat emptor. However, the fact that either their operators read Aardvark and therefore realise the risk of annoying my readers -- or other readers have used these sites and have found them to be good value.

Along with the recommendations I received some rather scathing comments about the Flying Pig site and the allegedly "less than adequate" service some customers have encountered.

A couple of stories that cover related subjects you might want to read are here:
