Despite a year noteworthy for dot com's struggling or failing, SuperCyberStore celebrates its first birthday today.

"It has been tougher than I expected, but company is in a strong position to grow in the next year," said founder and Managing Director Shane Frith.

"We will continue to follow a philosophy of great customer service combined with the best deals in New Zealand."

"It is important to remember that we are in an extremely early stage of a technology that will dominate some sectors of the retail industry within five years."

A recent survey showed that less that 10% of New Zealander's have bought online. Most of these purchases comprise of books and compact disks.

"The future for traditional retailing is bleak."
