I'm heading off on my A47 next week (only getting sc's for one leg of the journey, sadly) and want to know whether anyone here availed themselves of
http://www.dutyfreestores.co.nz prepaid/pickup alcohol leaving AKL, on both RAR and SYD bound flights? I emailed the store to ask
If I am travelling from RAR to AKL, then AKL to SYD, will any duty free purchases I pick up from your AKL collection point be OK to travel to SYD? Is it classed as being 'delivered to the gate' when it is in a sealed bag?
their reply was:
If you have access to your luggage you can grab your goods on arrival to nz and put your purchases in your luggage (not your carry on).
If you don't have access to your luggage than you would have to purchase on arrival into Australia.
But I recall leaving CHC in 2011 with a sealed DF bag and carrying it to the gate myself, I don't think it was delivered by the store. Sorry for the long winded questions here, There is no way I want to give duty free in SYD any cash if possible. Does anyone have any experience with this?
