10A I think is the connection not the voltage. I don't think the A stands for amps. Possibly a,b,c instead. Voltage in the states is 110V here it is 220V. We have blown a few items by plugging them in here without checking their voltage.   ]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:45:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1222035&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1222035 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1221989&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1221989 Author: Mucky_Tiger

call me ignorant but isnt 10A not NZ voltage.

isnt it a pain having to have a converter just to plug in a kitchen mixer when you can get this one at Briscoes for $350

Just to update you all - ordered it on Monday, it arrived on Thursday in NZ and got a call from customs to pay an extra $120 for gst.

I know! Air New Zealand changed theirs in May, which I was so annoyed about, DH is going over there in a week and I wanted him to bring me a Jumperoo back. He's still going to, but he has to pay excess luggage. Funny thing is, it's still going to be cheaper than what you can buy them for in New Zealand and you can only get one model here, and I wanted a different one.

I didn't bring it back but have stuff we did bring back and it is all fine. Even with a voltage converter which is a pain but makes it work well. This is the website to get it on and they are on special at the moment

http://www.220-electronics.com/Kitchenaid_Mixer_220_volts/Kitchenaid_Artisan_stand_mixer_220_volts.htm

I do have a list of things to buy over there though. Osh kosh at target is dirt cheap, Like $10 shirts and $12 jeans. On special I would get them for $5 Mossimo also at target. Jeans for the kids. Oh and energizer batteries.   Can't beleive how expensive batteries are here. Also polly pocket and littlest pets shop and lego.   Also my carpet stain remover and ironing in a bottle. Just spray the wrinkles away. I can't remember all the things I will look out for but just to have the variety. Definately got shoppers withdrawal. As for restaurants can't wait for olive garden, joes crab shack and red lobster. They aren't that great but you miss them when they aren't around.   But in saying all that I love being back home in NZ a quick shopping fix every two years is more than adequate.

I have a kitchen-aid i got from the states and its amazing - my mom brought it back in a suitcase with her. But it is commercial kitchen standard - i'm sure you know what you want and what you're doing and i don't mean to sound like a crazy woman - but if its just for a home kitchen you can get cheaper models (that arent as awesome but work perfectly for home cooking)]]> Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:41:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1210732&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1210732 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1210710&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1210710 Author: jano1

I would buy online and get it sent to your address in san francisco. To get a 220v one is hard as there is no call for it in the states. I had no luck just going into shops. I was looking for stuff before moving back to nz and I had to go online for it all. They are purely for an overseas market.

ok there is no customs duty on food mixers but there may be gst. gst is calculated on shipping as well so you may have to pay $60ish dollars. Customs do waiver the fees if it is under $60 but in this case it may be slightly more but compared to $800-1000 for the same item here it isn't a bad deal still. Also there possibly will be a customs transaction fee of $23

I do know they run on 110v over there whilst our electricity is 220-240v. You can buy the correct voltage ones over there but you need to go to a specialty store. They are online and you just need to google 220v kitchen aid. I wouldn't ship. Going to the states you can get two suitcases of 50lbs each. I would use your kitchen aid as one of those suitcases packed in a box with clothes around it. ]]> Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:47:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1210341&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1210341 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36902&PID=1210292&title=anyone-shipped-a-kitchen-aid-from-the-us#1210292 Author: jano1
