WINZ QUOTES

A WINZ quote is a formal price document you present to Work and Income New Zealand when applying for help to pay for essentials such as a laptop, Chromebook, tablet, iPad, MacBook, phone, or repairs. It lists the item, specs, and total cost so WINZ can assess support.

Choose your tech (online or in our Massey and Manukau stores), chat with our team, share your details, and we’ll email you a WINZ quote the same day in most cases.

We provide WINZ quotes for school and university laptops, study Chromebooks, tablets and iPads, MacBooks, smartphones, and repairs such as phone screen or battery replacements and laptop repairs.

Most quotes are issued within the same business day. If you contact us early with clear details (product, colour/specs, contact info), we can often send it within a few hours.
