What if the item doesn't fit?

How do I receive the item?

If you are near the lender, you can opt for in-person pick-up and meet in the secure public, location listed by the lender. Where in-person pick-up is not possible, a shipping label will be automatically generated on the app by Canada Post.

What if I accidentally ruin the item?

What if my item gets ruined?

In the case of any damage, loss or theft, rax will help facilitate your reimbursement for the cost of repair. If the item is damaged beyond repair or not returned, the borrower will need to reimburse you for the estimated market value of the item or replace the item.

How do I get the item to the borrower?

If the borrower opts for in-person pick-up, use the chat feature of the app to agree on a time/place to meet. If shipping, a pre-paid label will be automatically be generated on the app. Simply pack up the item and head to your nearest Canada Post on day 1 of the borrow period.
