New Zealand Primark Equivalent?
Soon I'll be going to New Zealand for a year and rather than taking lots of clothes I would like to buy cheap ones while there.
I've done a little research and I can't see that they have anything similar to Primark over there.
Primark is a UK clothing shop chain often described as providing "disposable fashion"/"fast fashion" - on trend designs (admittedly often of very short lifetimes) at very low costs - eg. tops costing £3 (~4.40USD) and dresses costing £8 (~11.60 USD). An outlet can be found in most towns.
Does anybody know of any cheap clothes shops like this?
Best Answer
I am a Brit that lives in NZ, and I can tell you there is nothing quite like Primark.
The closest would be The Warehouse or kMart, (Farmers is more expensive than both, but quality and range is larger). However, these still aren't as cheap, the range is a lot smaller, (given that clothing is only a small part of what they offer) and the quality isn't the same.
In all honesty, whenever I have made a trip back to the UK I have actually stocked up on clothes from Primark, there really is no true comparison, I would suggest the you do the same if you can.

What is the equivalent of Primark in Australia?
I'd say K-Mart and Big W are the closest - they are all over. You will no doubt find smaller shops which are cheap too but these two are the closest to Primark. I agree that Big W & K-Mart are your best bets, and Best & Less is another option which is everywhere.Does Primark deliver to NZ?

Unfortunately there's no Primark here in Australia and no shipping to here neither. The good news is I have seen some Primark goods in a few shops over such as in Kmart and Glassons (with their branding on) but I'm not gonna lie, there isn't half as much stock as you'd see in the mass Primark stores.British vs. New Zealand vs. Australian English Accents (+ Free PDF \u0026 Quiz)

Answer 2
As of today (March 17, 2016), there are no H&M, Zara, Primark, or Uniqlo stores in NZ.
There is one Topshop, though, at 203 Queen St, Auckland, and H&M will be opening an Auckland location in 2016, too.
Maybe the Google search for [new zealand fast fashion chain] will yield more useful information. You can also check Wikipedia's list of fast fashion brands to identify similar types of store, and then consult individual chains' websites.
Answer 3
just on top of the great answers above (and yes, Kmart and The Warehouse have quality clothes at very affordable prices), I'd say you'll find Op Shops in just about all towns and cities throughout the country. Op Shops stock second hand clothes (among other items) at very cheap prices, and although being second hand, are still good quality and ideal if you're traveling on a budget. You can also find $1,$2,$3 shops that, as the name suggests, stock just about everything under the sun you may need for only a couple of bucks. These shops are also pretty frequent in the majority of towns and city centers across the country. You may not find them online though...but some sites may list them in shopping directories etc. Hope this helps.
Answer 4
I've traveled to the UK three times and live in New Zealand and feel that the stores here cannot compete with what Primark offers: amazing clothes and prices. We do have K-Mart and the Warehouse, but they are not comparable to Primark in terms of styles and price.
