Borrowing, Lending

These are sample messages you can send to a member of your group.

Dear Freegle member

Thank you for your posts, but we do not allow borrowing or lending.

If you only need an item for a short time, please just ask for it and you could offer to Freegle it again afterwards. Or ask for it in the Chitchat section, where the usual rules are more relaxed.

If someone offers to lend you the item, that would be between you and them.

Best wishes

Hi there

I'm sorry but I have deleted your message from the group.

We do not allow messages asking to borrow items as this ultimately saves nothing from landfill but also can incur liability for the lender, so we don't endorse this through our group.

You are most welcome to repost a simple request for this item and/or request to borrow in chitchat, where rules are more relaxed.

Thank you for your understanding and kind regards
