Hi, the A&W root beer supplied by CM enterprise is imported from Singapore and doesn't have the same or is it as nice a flavor as the authentic A&W from the states. Does anyone know the supplier for the authentic A&W from the states so I can buy in bulk? thanks

From the A&W ROOT BEER Distributor:
In Auckland CBD area, the easiest places to find Genuine A & W Root Beer would be in most of the "City Convenience Stores". I.e. 96 Symonds St, 33 Wyndham St, 17C Albert St, 61 Wakefield St... just to name a few. These stores resemble your "7-Eleven's" back in the States.

There hasn't been many requests for root beers from Supermarkets outside of Auckland. However, we have a transport company that delivers Nation-wide. Best option would be to gather sufficient 'requests/orders' and we will send it over to a particular location via transport company.

Cost will be $25 + freight. $25/case (24 cans/case) Freight varies depending on location.
Updated! Per Samuel:Our freight company has gotten back to us with good news! Freight charges (incl. GST) within North Island, to any ONE particular location:
1 case = $8.50
2 - 3 cases = $12
Contact Information is: CM Enterprise, PO Box 74486 Market Rd., Auckland
09 520 7496 phone; 09 520 7890 fax

PS: Samuel has Dr Pepper Too! DK reports the Dr Pepper is $34/case.
(Doctor's bills are getting higher all the time. WW)

Otis said:Hi, do u sell the 1.5lt (A & W ) sz??

WW said:Thanks for your enquiry, I'm checking now and will put the information on this page when I receive an answer. I wouldn't hold out much hope though... we have only been able to find A&W so far and even that is bought by the case and shipped to us as above.

Alison Varrell said:Hello! I have a friend who would love to get some Barq's Rootbeer (product of Coca Cola) but hasn't been able to find it except in the states. Is it possible that you might get it at some point or is there a way he can order it? I live in the states, myself, and have been unable to locate a company that will ship it overseas. Can you please advise?
Thank you so much for your help!
