We’re here — We’re live — We’re ready for action! Flax.nz

Welcome!

Thanks for your early support, sign ups and listings.

It’s great to finally be launched after months of hard work, discussions and testing.

It’s not going to be easy to convert a country that typically thinks they need to own everything into a nation that realises items can be borrowed, hired, and shared around, but when you think about it a little, you start to realise that indeed there’s a lot of merit to doing just that.

Do a family with small kids going on holiday, really need to cart that big pushchair round the country when one could be hired at the destination?

Could a budding photographer really be able to test a few different cameras before committing to buying high end equipment.

Maybe you dream of experiencing something new like kayaking on Lake Taupo, or mountain biking the port hills in Christchurch, but you’re not keen to buy a kayak or bike for a once off. Having the ability to hire one nearby for a reasonable price is an ideal solution!

Over time Flax.nz will create a country where every item and every experience can be available to everyone — you, me, the folk next door and the folk next door to them! This really is for the good of our nation.

When you were young your parents use to say “sharing is caring” — well even when your older that still rings true. Now you can share with your community and visitors alike, and create some income for yourself and your family at the same time.

In the coming weeks we will be sharing more blogs about the Flax platform. Things like the ‘Share Economy’, the sustainability and financial benefits of renting, the positive effects of Flax for your community, and all sorts of other interesting things.

Follow us on social media, share Flax around your friend groups, sign up, list a couple items and get back out there and enjoy what New Zealand has to offer.

Cheers, the Flax team

Let’s make this happen.
