Trade Tested has grown to be New Zealand's top online, outdoor hardware shop. 100% NZ owned and operated, we're a combination of new technology and good old fashioned Kiwi customer service. As we don't have a chain of giant shops, or a million staff, our prices can't be beaten.
It all began in 2001 when we started importing to a small garage in central Auckland, selling on what was then a little site called Trade Me. As Kiwis got more used to buying things online, we got more used to selling them. After several years of being one of the most popular businesses on Trade Me, we decided to start a website. Just for us.
So after a few sleepless nights and lots of coffee, TradeTested.co.nz launched on the 10th of July, 2010. Our goal - deliver Kiwis the best deals on everything for their backyards straight to their front door. And since then we have been doing just that.
