This little board adds the power of the Raspberry Pi RP2040 to your Flipper, opening up a whole new world of motion sensing and video out capabilities. The problem? It is almost always out of stock.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

For those of us in New Zealand, the struggle is real. Local stock is non-existent, and when it does appear, the markup is insane. Staying on top of us trends is the only way to catch these drops before they vanish again. If you ignore the restock alerts in the US, you are likely looking at another six-month wait or paying triple the price on a secondary marketplace.

Avoiding the common US checkout traps for Kiwis

Here is where things get tricky. You find the module in stock at a major US retailer, you add it to your cart, and then—bam—the order is cancelled. Many US stores are notorious for blocking orders that use international credit cards or are being sent to a freight forwarder. They do this to prevent fraud, but it ends up hurting legitimate hobbyists in New Zealand who just want their gear.

If you try to brute-force the checkout with your standard NZ bank card, you might find your funds held in "pending" limbo for days while the stock sells out to someone else. This is why having a tax-free US address from a reliable partner like comGateway is only half the battle. You also need a way to actually pay that the store will accept.

Using the BuyForMe service to bypass credit card blocks

To avoid the heartbreak of a "Transaction Declined" email, you should look into proxy shopping. Many popular US tech hubs and even the official Flipper store can be picky about payment methods. The BuyForMe service is specifically designed for this scenario. Instead of you fighting with the checkout page, comGateway uses a US domestic card to perform an assisted purchase on your behalf.

This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get flagged. It ensures that you actually land the product during these high-demand restocks. If you are serious about getting this module before it hits "Out of Stock" again, this is the path of least resistance.

Calculating your shipping costs to New Zealand

Before you hit that buy button, you need to know what the total damage to your wallet will be. Shipping a small electronic component across the Pacific doesn't have to be expensive, but you don't want any surprises when the bill arrives. You should always use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the latest 2026 rates.

Shipping Estimates for the Video Game Module

Since the Flipper Zero Video Game Module is a compact piece of hardware, it is relatively cheap to move. Here is a rough breakdown of what to expect for your New Zealand delivery:

Checking the New Zealand shipping rules for electronics

Always stay informed about shipping rules before importing tech. While the video game module itself isn't on the list of prohibited items or restricted goods, New Zealand Customs will still look at the total value of your shipment. Remember that for most goods under NZD $1,000, GST is often collected at the point of sale by large retailers, but it's worth double-checking how your specific shipment will be handled to avoid delays at the border.

Following a step-by-step guide to your US address

Ready to pull the trigger? Here is the step-by-step guide to making it happen. First, sign up to shop US store locations with your own dedicated address in a tax-free state like Oregon. This saves you roughly 7% on US sales tax immediately.

Once you have your address, you can buy from US ship to New Zealand by entering that address at checkout. If the store gives you any grief about your credit card, switch over to the BuyForMe option mentioned earlier. Once the package hits the warehouse, you can choose your preferred courier for the final leg to Auckland, Wellington, or wherever you call home. Don't sleep on these 2026 restocks—once the hobbyist community catches wind that the US store is full, these modules will be gone in a flash.
