It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Kia ora,

We have a desire for a lot of bricks. They do not need to be aesthetic - just enough to built a forge. Ideally aiming for over 100 bricks. I am happy to pick them up from a range of locations.
