Carethy internet shopping site DO NOT USE scammers

Katie from Cashmere

If anyone is doing an internet search for a particular item and you consider buying anything from Carethy.net, Carethy.com or Carethy. nz. DO NOT! They are a bunch of scammers which as I now notice is very much out there in their reviews. I wished I had known this before I ordered. The general theme seems to be the same. You order what you want, they take your payment and it all looks very professional. Weeks later and after many emails to them, they inform you that they do not have the stock. They offer you the opportunity to spend your money elsewhere on their site rather than a refund. This is also a con so don’t go there either! Eventually, you will manage to get a response which offers you a refund within 14 business days! (Does it really take that long to refund a card). Anyway, that is where any communication with you ends, no matter how many emails a day you could possibly send, and they run off into the sunset with your hard earned cash. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, IT IS A SCAM! Please share this information far and wide so that they hopefully stop thinking they can scam Kiwis.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
