Considering the recent publicity that Get Up has had with Wikileaks, I decided to look on their webpage and sure enough there is a proposed campaign against these greedy retailers that might be of interest if people here want to get behind it.

Great thought, and worth backing, but I'll almost bet nothing happens on the selected dates.
I am feeling that it will all blow over, and ring leader Gerry Harvey will end up with egg on his face.
Me, I won't be going near his stores. I thought very highly of Gerry in the past, but I cringe when I see him now. He got himself nicely stuck in the 20th century, and needs to "move forward" ( :-) ) before the tide turns against him.
Cheers Don...

I also hope he ends up, I have a small beef also.(apart from the major one,GST) He has a discount place at grandville near super cheap auto, there is not enough parking and he monopolizes two spots outside his entrance for no purpose except (they say)to carry things out, (I have never seen the spaces used)They just have those boards on a frames like they use on roads blocking the cars. They have a loading dock which they used to use which means their excuse is rubbish. I wish I could find his personal email address.

He's such a dinosaur that he didnt read any email.
If I find it, I'll chisel it down, and tom tom drum it to this thread.
Go Gerry.............................

**Harvey is a conundrum, to be sure. He took a pay cut last year, due to poor performance of the group. That has to be a first amongst the fat cats.

You'll be flat out trying to find a shop which doesn't think all the same taxes shouldn't apply to overseas traders, if we are to have a 'level playing field'.
formatting link
We have a "level playing feild", the freight we pay is more than 10% of the purchase cost. The problem is Gerry the DH wants it tilted, only his way of course.
formatting link
The freight who pays? Retailers have all sorts of other trading advantages and disadvantages compared with online and overseas vendors and individual purchasers, but this is about GST.
Everyone thinks GST is a great idea until they perceive they are losing by it. They are not only as hypocritical as they say Gerry Harvey is, but they are stupid if they don't think they are losing by it in many other ways.
