About Portable Electronics Ltd, 

Portable Electronics Limited is 100% New Zealand owned and operated. In 2006, we became aware of the 

immerse market demand for MP3/MP4/PMP players in New Zealand and the apparent lack of suitable supply. 

The  quest  to  obtain  one  for  ourselves  for  personal  use  from  overseas  eventuated  the  formation  of  Portable 

Electronics Ltd to supply these hard to get gadgets. In other words, we exist only to provide end-users with 

their long sought after dream gadgets and to improve their way of life.   

We do not have retail shops or showrooms but have local representatives in both New Zealand and Australia to 

serve your needs. We are an online based distribution company providing multi-purpose high quality portable
