Little kiwi business spreading its wings02. Who We Are

We're a small family owned business based in Whangarei, Northland New Zealand.

A Little History
Established 1989, originally bricks and mortar. Upon purchase more than 10 years ago the transformation began, we catalogued and digitised our entire bookstore, later relocating and rebranding. These days we sell 2nd hand books exclusively online.

At Kiwi Best Buy, we keep it simple with no gimmicks, recreating the quiet enjoyment of browsing for that special title or author- offering good quality books at affordable prices is what we do well !
Kiwi Best Buy aims to provide you with the Best Loved Books + Best Shipping Rates = Best Buys!

Emma wrote - Review frome Judge.me about Kiwi Best Buy

Rare Gem
I had been on the hunt for Harry Potter Hardcovers for a while now and last week I happened to stumble across this site. One search led me straight to the book I was after (Prisoner of Azkaban). After buying a few duds from other trading sites I was shocked to see such clear descriptions and details about the books with fair prices attached, and immediately found my self hovering over the purchase button - in less than 3 days, in the middle of covid-19 lockdown, my book arrived safely packaged and in better condition than I could ever have hoped. I am very grateful to have stumbled across this wonderful shop and will be back again...and again!
