Kiwi fashion icons join Trade Me
We’re stoked to welcome iconic NZ fashion brands Hallensteins and Glassons to Trade Me!
As well as a full range of clothing and accessories available through their Trade Me Stores, you’ll notice some of their listings have a ‘virtual catwalk’ video feature, showing off the item from its best angles. Just like you can see on their own websites, the Hallensteins and Glassons team worked with our techies to get the virtual catwalk feature up and running on Trade Me too, and we hope you find it useful. We’re also looking to have video available on other seller’s listings in the future, so watch this space.
Both stores offer free delivery, and flexible return and exchange policies. We think this provides buyers with great value and added confidence when making a purchase, especially when it comes to buying clothes online. More...
Releasing rowi kiwis into the wild with DOC
Back in May we introduced the BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust as one of our success fee partners. One of the Trust's initiatives is to work toward establishing a thriving population of rowi, the world's most endangered species of kiwi. There are less than 400 rowi around today.
Yesterday, Trade Me staff members PJ, Catherine & Sam joined DOC and the Trust in releasing 20 rowi onto Mana Island. This marks the first time in 600 years that rowi have been in the North Island.
Our staff were absolutely stoked to have been given the opportunity to be part of this unique event. Not only did they get to witness the release of some rowi, but travelled out to the island in style, courtesy of an RNZAF Iroquois. Check out the cool video from their journey out to Mana Island:
