Have you ever wanted to buy or sell unique, handmade items, but felt wary of online marketplace scams, or worse, had someone you know fall victim to one?
The frustration of thinking you’re supporting a local business, only to face lengthy overseas shipping times, unexpected customs fees, and a lack of protection under New Zealand consumer law, is all too common. Likewise, the inability of large platforms to provide meaningful assistance with fraudulent transactions can leave you feeling vulnerable, unsupported, and 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 and drop-shippers on the now foreign-owned Trade Me marketplace.
“Kinwi” isn’t just a name, it’s a symbol of connection, unity, and support for our Kiwi kin. It’s not just another online platform; it is 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 celebrating the ingenuity our country is 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 farmers’ 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 right here in New Zealand.
We invite you to explore Kinwi, join us, and be part of a vibrant community that values and supports our own. Whether you’re just starting out with a single product or are 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 creations, connect with kindred shoppers, and celebrate everything Kiwi.
But we’re not done yet. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to 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.
