I'm asking with all sincerity and honesty as to whether anybody has
purchase any Household Funiture, Tools and other equipment from a supposed secret Sale by " SUPREME Lockups & Storage " over the last few months.
I've had a personel problem with the above outfit, and only became aware of the situation over the weekend, when I found a listing on "Fb " Groups page on the far right of the web-page, and happened to find all
my Fly Fishing gear up for sale, by an individual in Carterton.
I messaged him asking about the gear, and was soon removed of the site.
I'm sincerely asking, that if any of you have purchased anything from "Supreme Lockups" in this regard, I would "Dearly" like to purchase items back that was of my ownership.
Nobody who has been involved in any purchase's, will not be treated in nasty or unneccessary manner, as it's just I've got to try and retreive a lot
of Family History.
This is a situation that nobody in their live needs or wants this sort of situation to happen, so just ask you all from the bottom of my heart for your consideration.
Please, if you can help me, send me an email to "toy98peu@gmail.com"
Thanks
Kind Regards
John

Our team consists of LBP, qualified and apprentices.
We have a digger/operator and access to truck for those landscaping jobs.
If your job is small, doesn’t require a licensed building practitioner or is something our apprentices can do - we are happy to price accordingly and still provide the same 10 year workmanship guarantee.
If you are looking for subbies (electrician, plumber, plasterer/painter etc) I am more than happy to recommend who we use and trust.
We are members of NZ Certified Builders, CBS Co-op, fully insured and full health and safety.
I’ve attached a link to our Facebook and website:

We will focus on creating palettes which work well for foreground, mid distance and distant greens. Green can be a difficult colour to get right in landscape work as is doesn’t ‘travel’ well from near to far. Some very far greens are scarcely green at all, with their saturation, value and hue changing as they recede into the distance. You will learn how to create greens that give this sense of aerial perspective. You will also learn how to create the brightest and cleanest colour mixes, greens in particular, from a Modern (Organic) colour palette. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced artists.

Consumer NZ is stoked, saying these sneaky surcharges cost Kiwis around $65 million a year and should’ve been gone ages ago.
But not everyone’s convinced it’s a win. Labour and Hospitality NZ are worried the costs won’t just disappear. Labour MP Arena Williams put it simply: there should not be surcharges for customers at all. But she points out that the Government’s plan does not deal with banks and merchants “who still scoop a big fee”.
Many of our community are rocked by the recent announcement. Retailers warn card surcharge ban could lead to higher prices - the unfortunatel reality is that small businesses are feeling the squeeze along with their customers. In comparison, large retailers pay significantly lower banking fees and ultimately have more leverage at the negotiation table.
💸 So someone still pays – but who?
We want to know: Who should be covering this cost?

There's a nice Buddhist story; a novice went to the Zen master and said he wanted to paint a perfect picture. The master laughed and said, "There is a straightforward way to achieve this. First become perfect and then create your picture."
