Craving Crown Jewelery? How to snag Amazon Prime in the Land of the Long White Cloud (without getting Gandalf-level frustrated)
Greetings, fellow Kiwis! Do you dream of binge-watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel while munching on pineapple lumps? Or perhaps you yearn for lightning-fast deliveries that make waiting for a decent cuppa feel like an eternity? Well, my friends, then you, like many, crave the mythical beast known as Amazon Prime.
But hold on there, sunshine! As any self-respecting kiwi knows, Amazon Prime is a bit like a shy Pukeko – not always easy to find in these parts. Fear not, for this guide will be your trusty sheepdog, leading you through the maze and onto greener (Prime-filled) pastures.
Here's the rub: Amazon Prime ain't officially in NZ (yet)
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.![]()
That's right, it's like trying to find a decent flat in Wellington – there, but not quite there. Don't despair! We can still be resourceful Kiwis, eh?
Option 1: Befriend a VPN (Virtual Private Nothing-dodgy-here, honest!)
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.![]()
Think of a VPN as your cloaking device. It lets you appear to be browsing the web from another country, like, say, the United States of A. Here's the catch: using a VPN can be a bit fiddly, and some Prime Video content might be restricted anyway. But hey, if you're a tech-savvy MacGyver, this could be your ticket to Prime paradise.
