I have used a local NZ online retailer for my pre-orders of the TSK hardcovers, 
and have delighted with the prompt delivery and lowish price.

Passage arrived safely [1] in the letter box this morning. Yay !

[1] Parcel post, rather than courier, but within the city both are next day.
The outer packaging was wet, but the book was fine inside a plastic bag.
