Have you ever wanted to buy or sell unique, handmade items, but the prevalence of marketplace scams has left you feeling apprehensive—or worse, you or someone you know has fallen victim to one?
The frustration of thinking you’re supporting a local business, only to face lengthy overseas shipping time-frames, the possibility of unexpected customs fees, and lack of protection under NZ consumer laws is all too common. Likewise, the inability of some marketplaces to provide much in the way of assistance in fraudulent transactions can leave you feeling vulnerable and unsupported, as well as out of pocket.
We’ve been there too. That’s why we set out to create a better way for Kiwi buyers and sellers to connect. Our vision? A safe marketplace overflowing with unique, handcrafted, and natural treasures, all proudly sourced from the heart of New Zealand.
You no longer need to wade through a sea of overseas sellers on the now foreign owned TradeMe marketplace.
“Kinwi” isn’t just a name – it’s a symbol of connection, unity, and support for our Kiwi kin. It represents more than just another online platform, but a collective celebration of our nation’s unique creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Our mission is simple: to champion and support our fellow Kiwis, showcasing and promoting the ingenuity that Kiwis are renowned for. By supporting local businesses, we’re not just making purchases; we’re investing in the success of our own communities.
Kinwi is more than just a marketplace; it’s a community-driven platform fostering Kiwi connections. Think of Kinwi as your 24-hour online craft and farmer’s market, where Kiwi crafters, artisans, entrepreneurs, and growers converge. Here, you can browse, buy, and support your fellow Kiwis from the comfort of your home, with the assurance that every item is proudly located in NZ.
We invite you to explore Kinwi, join us, and be part of our vibrant community that values and supports our own. Whether you’re just starting out with a single product or a seasoned seller, Kinwi welcomes you to open your store and unleash your creativity. Our platform is your canvas, ready for you to showcase your talents and offerings and connect with a community that celebrates everything Kiwi.
But we’re not done yet. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to build and enhance your Kinwi experience. So please, share your suggestions and ideas – together, we’ll continue to shape Kinwi into the ultimate destination for all things Kiwi.
