The Story of South-Pacific Army Surplus

Army and Outdoors - also known as Kiwi Disposals - has been around for a while now, more than 30 years' actually. From our beginnings as a small wholesale warehouse, we’ve grown into a Christchurch retail store and an online shop serving New Zealand and customers worldwide.

In 2015 we changed our name to Army and outdoors from Kiwi Disposals. We thought this better described our range of products and services.  In 2011 we lost our iconic Colombo Street store in Christchurch to an earthquake, which was a bit of a bugger. Our online shop helped keep the business going through that difficult period.

Our customers come from all walks of life. Hunters looking for the perfect camouflage to film makers sourcing props for the latest sci-fi flick.  This is not your standard outdoors store. People we speak to have an expectation of finding hard-wearing, quality gear at a reasonable price. Our ever growing range of stock keeps people returning in-store and online.
