In short

  • Tap Requests → Post a request.
  • Name the item, pick a category, choose your dates and suburb.
  • Tap Post request. Offers arrive on the request page and by notification.

Step by step

  1. Start a request

    Tap the Requests tab, then Post a request. You will see the heading Tell us what you need.

    Requests tab with the Post a request button at the bottom
  2. Say what you are after

    Under What are you looking for? type the item, for example 18V cordless circular saw. Be specific; brand or size helps owners know if theirs fits. Then choose a Category.

  3. Choose how long and when

    Tap a duration chip such as 2 days or 1 week, or type your own number of days. Then on the calendar tap the earliest day you could pick up, and the latest day you would return. A wider window means more owners can say yes.

  4. Set your suburb

    Your saved suburb is used automatically. Change it if you are collecting somewhere else.

  5. Optional but worth it

    Add a Description with what you are using it for, and a Daily budget. Requests with a budget get responses about twice as fast.

  6. Post it

    Tap Post request. You land on your request page. Nearby owners with matching items are notified within minutes.

What happens next

No haggling, on purpose. Prices and pickup windows are locked in through offers. Chat opens only once a booking is confirmed, to sort out the handover.
