My Website

Lynda from Kaiapoi

For Sale in Eyrewell North Canterbury
Great first float.
This float has been awesome. As it is wide, horses are very comfortable in it. I've had a couple of horses in (not at the same time ;-)) who were scrambling in their double floats. They floated absolutely perfectly in this as they can spread their legs wide and also stand at a bit of an angle. See pics of my 16.1hh wide boy in it.

It isn't braked as it is a single and doesn't have to be although it wouldn't take much to fit brakes.

It is solid and good to tow.
Non slip removable mats and a non slip surface to the ramp.

There is some surface rust (pictured) but this is only surface.
Will come with new warrant and it is registered.
Yet more ADVANTAGES: It doesn't look fancy so I never worried about anyone stealing it ;-) despite this it is a dependable, safe float which so comfortable even my cat likes to snooze in it (The cat does not come with it).
Only selling due to upgrade to double.

$5000 ONO

Couriers- Grrrr

Karen from Rangiora

I am sick and tired of Couriers out here parking in Disability parks.
They all do it, no respect, and when you approach them they turn on you.
You don't just get given a disability parking permit willy nilly, there is a process you have to go through and you have to pay for them. Many times … View more
I am sick and tired of Couriers out here parking in Disability parks.
They all do it, no respect, and when you approach them they turn on you.
You don't just get given a disability parking permit willy nilly, there is a process you have to go through and you have to pay for them. Many times there have been heaps of empty parks all around and yet they park in the disability parks.
What gives them the right?
I have the Disability app on my phone and report them when i see them doing it.
These are just 2 of the many who do it, the yellow and red one is a repeat offender, i have had a few run ins with him

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.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
