AliExpress?
AliExpress listings change hourly and prices vary by seller, variant and shipping option. We checked AliExpress search pages (they load and show NZD prices), and verified the individual listings shown above on the check date, but prices vary by variant and promo and may be personalised. Risks: specs (litres, L/min, Ah) are often overstated; warranty claims mean shipping back to China; delivery to NZ/AU usually takes 1-4 weeks; 12V/240V gear may lack RCM (AU) or NZ electrical approval; GST/import charges and shipping may be added at checkout. Fine for passive items (bags, strip lights). Be wary of fridges, compressors and lithium batteries.

No. They are plain links to the retailer, and RigBlueprint earns nothing from them. Prices change often, so check the retailer before you buy.
