Request to adopt items
What this page covers
Request to adopt items
Use this page to request adopting pre-loved items through Hiiba in the UAE. It links your needs with items shared by the community in the “Adopt pre-loved items” section, so you can clearly state what you are looking for.
Submitting a request does not guarantee that specific items will be available. It helps Hiiba understand your needs so you can be contacted through the waitlist when suitable items appear and it is your turn.
In brief
- Use this form to describe the type of pre-loved items you hope to adopt in the UAE, such as clothes, furniture, baby items, books, or electronics, and any basic preferences or sizes.
- Hiiba uses your request to help match you with suitable listed items and to manage a fair waitlist, then reaches out when a relevant match is found and it is your turn.
- Submitting a request is free and does not guarantee specific items, brands, or timing. Availability depends on what other community members choose to offer.
What to do
Use this request page when you know the kinds of pre-loved items you need but do not see an exact match available right now. By sharing your priorities and basic details, you help Hiiba understand demand and plan future matching in the UAE community.
Describe the categories you are interested in, such as household items, children’s goods, clothing, or small electronics, and add simple notes like age range, size, or any important constraints. Keep requests realistic and focused on what you are likely to use, so items can be matched fairly and efficiently.
Once your request is submitted and you join the WhatsApp waitlist, Hiiba can contact you when suitable items are listed and a match is possible. You may be guided to use the Hiiba app or other channels to confirm interest, arrange collection, and follow community guidelines for safe, respectful exchanges.
What to keep in mind
This request is not a reservation, purchase, or guarantee that you will receive specific items. All goods are offered voluntarily by community members, so Hiiba cannot control which brands, colours, sizes, or quantities become available, or when they appear.
Matching depends on what is donated and may take time, especially for specialised items, uncommon sizes, or bulky goods. Priority on the waitlist may consider factors such as urgency, suitability of the match, and overall participation in the community, while still aiming to stay fair and transparent.
Some categories may be limited or not offered at all, especially safety‑critical items or items in poor condition. You may need to respond quickly when a match is proposed; if you do not confirm in time, the item may be offered to the next person. Availability is focused on the UAE, and for some locations or large items you may be asked to arrange your own collection or delivery.
