Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Unlike standard pedals, Chase Bliss gear uses a digital brain to control an analog signal path, allowing for complex automation via DIP switches. For musicians in Auckland or Wellington looking for that specific boutique sound, sourcing this pedal often means looking beyond local shores.

US pricing versus New Zealand boutique importers

In 2026, the price gap between US retailers and local boutique importers in the Asia-Pacific region remains significant. Often, a pedal like the Onward is priced $100 to $150 lower in the United States. When you factor in the limited stock held by local specialty shops, the US market is frequently the only place where the pedal is actually available for immediate dispatch.

How to buy from US stores in 2026

Purchasing high-end gear requires a strategic approach to shipping. Most US retailers do not offer direct shipping to the South Pacific, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. The most effective method is to use a package forwarding service. By using comGateway, you receive a tax-free us address which allows you to shop at major retailers like Sweetwater, Reverb, or the official Chase Bliss store without paying US sales tax.

Once your pedal arrives at the warehouse, you can use the shipping calculator to see exactly what the final cost to reach your doorstep will be. This is the preferred shop us ship international strategy for those who want to avoid the high margins of local distributors.

Solving international payment issues with BuyForMe

A common hurdle for New Zealand shoppers is that many US-based stores, including major outlets like Apple, Sephora, or specialized music boutiques, frequently block international credit cards. These stores often decline orders that are sent to known freight forwarder addresses if the billing address does not match a US domestic location.

The solution to this problem is the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. With this assisted purchase option, the comGateway team buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by strict US retail security filters. It removes the frustration of seeing your transaction declined just as a limited-edition pedal like the Onward goes in stock.

Shipping logistics for New Zealand deliveries

After your pedal is secured at the warehouse, the next step is getting it to New Zealand. You can follow this step-by-step guide to manage your shipment. Using an established international shipping service ensures that your high-value electronics are handled with care and tracked throughout the journey.

comGateway provides fast ship to New Zealand options, typically utilizing premium carriers like DHL or FedEx. This ensures your gear arrives in Christchurch, Hamilton, or Dunedin within days rather than weeks.

New Zealand import duties and GST considerations

When you buy from US ship to New Zealand, you must account for local regulations. As of 2026, New Zealand Customs requires GST (Goods and Services Tax) of 15% on all imported goods. For items valued under NZ$1,000, the tax is often collected at the point of sale or by the forwarder. For items over NZ$1,000, a Customs entry is required, and additional transaction fees may apply.

Using a parcel forwarding service allows you to consolidate multiple items, which can significantly reduce the per-item shipping cost. If you are also looking for high-end cables or power supplies, shipping them together is the most logical choice.
