\u201cWe get a lot of customers through GrabOne, so it [the liquidation] will affect our business into the future on top of the money we\u2019re owed.\u201d <\/p>\n

Owhango Adventures owner Grant Lethborg told Stuff the end of GrabOne would impact his business too. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe do $60,000-plus worth of sales through GrabOne,\u201d Lethborg told Stuff. <\/p>\n

He said it was an \u201cavenue of sales that has been quite good over the years\u201d. <\/p>\n

Snowplanet told Radio New Zealand, meanwhile, it would continue to honour vouchers as well. However, it has had no assurance from GrabOne it would be paid. <\/p>\n

Of the businesses the Herald contacted, six said they would still be honouring vouchers until their expiration dates. <\/p>\n

Vivo Hair and Skin Clinic told the Herald it would honour vouchers until they expire, as did Parakai Springs, Warakei Terraces and Thermal Hot Springs Spa, Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, Auckland Adventure Park, Action Ninja World and Concierge Car Wash. <\/p>\n

The Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort told the Herald it would only be honouring vouchers that had already been used to book reservations. <\/p>\n

In a notice on its website, GrabOne\u2019s liquidators said the company was unable to provide refunds to customers who hold on to unredeemed vouchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers will need to take steps themselves \u2013 including contacting individual merchants \u2013 to assess how unredeemed vouchers will be treated,\u201d the notice said. <\/p>\n

Daniel Stoneman and Neale Jackson of Calibre Partners were appointed liquidators of Global Marketplace New Zealand, which operates the GrabOne business in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

GrabOne\u2019s website has disappeared, replaced by a message from the liquidators.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to funding constraints, the business has ceased trading and the liquidators are immediately commencing a sales process for the company\u2019s business and assets,\u201d the liquidators said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, the company will not be promoting any existing or future deals whilst in liquidation.\u201d<\/p>\n
