nicegear – New Zealand
nicegear was started by, and is primarily run by, Hadley Rich (that’s him in the picture) from the town of Timaru in the central South Island of New Zealand. It’s a spawn of nice technology, his consulting business.
We have a strong sense of community and believe in the open source philosophy. We believe the Ubuntu philosophy is a great way for people to live life and this is what we aspire to.
All the hardware we supply through the site is sourced from the manufacturer or through their official distributors. This means you can be sure the products are original and you get the support of a local warranty.
As well as using open source software we like to contribute back to the community as well. One way we do this is through offering bug fixes and enhancements to the software we use. Another way we contribute is through sponsorship, nice technology sponsors the New Zealand VoIP Users Group. If you’re a user group or open source project interested in sponsorship, feel free to contact us and have a chat about how we can help you.
Australian Robotics – Australia (duh!)
Here at Australian Robotics we encourage everybody— students, adults, seniors– to get involved in robotics. That’s why we offer the best value-for-money microcontrollers in Australia for a quick, USB-enabled physical computing development environment.
These are just 2 of our distributors in the Asia Pacific region, make sure to visit the Adafruit distributor page to view them all! We will be spotlighting Adafruit resellers from around the world on a regular basis! 
Would you like to be an Adafruit distributor?
We have a very easy reseller program and would love to have more great people and companies as distributors, resellers and hackerspaces, all of whom receive special prices on their orders.
For many of our products you get up to a 30 % discount for just 1 quantity. This allows you to get a great discount even when ordering a small amount of items and it’s great for folks who want to try out a new product in their store. As always, if you order 50 or more of these items, this discount goes up to 40%. Note! *Not ALL items have reseller pricing, these discounts are only for items that can be marked down for our resellers, but we are adding more products to this list all the time! Remember, in order to receive this discount, orders must be $250 or more, not including shipping.
We have great relationships with our distributors and are working to provide even more features for them in the future. To become one now, click here and keep in mind the following:
- Are you an online store, a physical store or a hackerspace that would like to distribute our products? If so, please include a link.
- Will your orders be at least $250 (not including shipping)?
- Can you pay via PayPal or credit card? For large international orders, can you pay via wire transfer?
- Do you have a UPS account? (This is not required, but would be helpful).
We look forward to working with you!
