Trade Tested is New Zealand’s favourite online home improvement store. 100% NZ owned and operated, we’re a combination of new technology and good old fashioned Kiwi customer service. As we don’t have a chain of giant shops, or a million staff, our prices can’t be beaten.
It all began in 2001 when we started importing to a small garage in central Auckland, selling on what was then a little site called Trade Me. As Kiwis got more used to buying things online, we got more used to selling them. After several years of being one of the most popular businesses on Trade Me, we decided to start a website. Just for us.
So after a few sleepless nights and lots of coffee, TradeTested.co.nz launched on the 10th of July, 2010. Our goal – deliver Kiwis the best deals on everything for their backyards straight to their front door. And since then we have been doing just that.
From the humble water blaster in Ponsonby to the giant farm shelter for an orchard in Cromwell, no matter how big your backyard is we’ve got you covered. Last year alone we are proud to have delivered to over 90,000 satisfied customers all around the country.
Over the next few years we’re going to continue to grow, adding a bunch of new product lines and categories. So if you have any questions, queries, suggestions or theories, we’d love to hear from you.
