Frequently Asked Questions

Using WhyBuy

Is everything in the catalogue owned by other people?

No - this is not a peer to peer service. We curate and select the items from our partners and manufacturers directly. These items are not pre owned, they have been sourced by us as new, direct from suppliers or from 3^rd parties who hire out profesionally. We make sure that what you hire is what you would expect to get if you had bought it new yourself.

How does it work?

You pick the items that you need and when you would like them. It’s that simple. We let you specify that specific 2-hour slot you'll be at home for delivery and collection - it really is that convenient.

We have designed a friendly interface to make browsing our app as simple as possible. When you click onto our app you are taken straight to the category page; and browsing through our inventor. Once you have chosen the items you wish to access you have the option to select the date and the time that you would like your delivery to arrive. We offer 2-hour delivery slots. We also offer 2-hour collection times.

Is there a minimum spend?

There is a minimum basket spend of £35 pre discounts - so if you used a 20% voucher on a basket worth £30, you'd only be charged £24 - the minimum spend only applies to pre-discount prices.

How much will I pay for delivery?

There is a charge of £12 on every order which covers both delivery and collection. Remember - you get to choose the time.

Where do you deliver to?

We currently deliver anywhere in London within the M25. If you want to use our service and you’re outside these areas, you can pick up directly from our partner Flower Station at one of their stores as follows:
