Mitre 10 MEGA Mt Wellington is a large-format hardware store at 72 Lunn Avenue in Mount Victoria, Wellington, holding a 4.3-star Google rating. The MEGA name marks the big-box format of Mitre 10, one of New Zealand's best-known hardware co-operatives.
The trick with a big hardware store is arriving prepared: bring your measurements, a photo of the job or the worn part you're replacing, and a good staff member can usually match you to the right fix on the spot. Many larger stores will cut timber to length or match paint while you wait, so it pays to ask at the counter rather than hunting the aisles alone. Regulars check stock on the Mitre 10 website before driving over, then aim for weekday mornings when there's time for proper advice.
For anyone in Wellington mid-project, this Lunn Avenue MEGA is the store you want between you and a second trip across town.
