Hello Pythagoras,

The ones you found were very good, but I would be a happier camper
with more options if possible, specially with ones that offer
wholesale.

I will rate the answer at five with more results, not neccessarilly
with wholesale covered as I didn't clear that requirement in my
original question, though I would really appreciate it. :-)

Dear Lizardnation,

Alas, I can't give you more adresses in WELLINGTON. By the way, I
think that the two retails i give you can make a whole-sale deal, if
you contact them.
I citate:
"If you would like to discuss an order please telephone Denis direct
..."

Instead of, I can give you MANY adresses of retails in OTHER places in
New-Zealand. Is that ok? Some of them sell in bulk.

Kind Regards,

Pythagoras

Hello Pythagoras,

Yes, you can move out to get me bulk rates.  I have initiated contact
to see if the ones already mentioned give wholesale rates.

Thank you. :-)

Dear Sir LizardNation,

I will give you some sites, I hope this will enough to satisfy your
hunger for sheepskins:-)

1) http://www.bowron.co.nz/

?BULK? I guess so.

postage"

retail experience and by far the best range of  top quality New
Zealand wool products available anywhere in the world"
"Top Quality Sheepskin Rugs at the world's BEST prices"

3)http://www.loganpoint.co.nz/

This is sure: BULK!
"Our company is focused on the processing of a range of established
products. These are marketed around the world. Our goal is to be an
excellent tanner of skins. We concentrate on the tanning of skins and
do not  become involved in further processing of our products."
"We look forward to discussing your requirements with you. "

4)http://www.classicsheepskins.co.nz/

"Please feel free to email us for all your wholesale or export
enquiries."

5)http://www.madenz.com/

"Welcome to MadeNZ, the online store dedicated to bringing you quality
New Zealand made sheepskin products at extremely competitive prices. "

extra:

6)http://www.nzsheepskin.com/

"Sheepskin Sales New Zealand Limited produces its range from quality,

Augmenting the official answer you can check the five sources listed
for the Wellington Region at:
     http://www.yellowpages.co.nz/quick/search?cat=1480&view=loc&page=search&loc=18

The companies listed do not have websites according to their listings
in the New Zealand yellow pages. Good luck!

Check the prices at a tannery not in Wellington but in Dunedin, New
Zealand. Lambskin rugs start at US$23 at Logan Point Lambskin:
