I just wanted to know how come our resellers dont sell this in NZ, even RSP's?

From what i observed, due to 5G wont work in NZ?

5g has worked on pixels for about a year.

I guess too small of a market? Oppo and Samsung have a big stranglehold on nz

  oh, i read somewhere which stated 5G wont work? That means if i purchased one from Parallel Import, should be ok and 5G will work?

    Pixel 7 and 8 work now. No clue for p9?
    
    If historic pricing is anything to go by they'll tank in price in the next couple of months too

      Ive seen the Pixel 8 is almost half the price with Parallel Imports right now, so should i wait for the 9 to go low on the price?

There hasn't really been any truly NZ based importers of the Pixel series for a while - stores like Becextech and Dick Smith (be careful with different sellers though!) are probably your best shot. That being said, Mighty Ape and PBTech have tended to start selling them in the latter half of the release cycle (but not always the Pro models, unfortunately).

It's probably cheaper to hop on a plane to AU, buy it other there and claim the tax back at the airport, than to get one imported.
