I’m so happy to have found The Borrowed Piece! It’s such a great option if you love premium puzzles that are expensive and/or hard to find locally. Some of my favourites include Soonness, Trevell, and Reverie. It’s super convenient - choose your two puzzles for the month online and they’ll be shipped out to you. All shipping costs are included in the monthly subscription fee. To return, simply print out the label that’s emailed to you and drop it off at the Post Office or leave outside your door for a courier to pick up. Highly recommend!

I've received two orders from The Borrowed Piece now and they've both been wonderful! The puzzle selection is unique and excellent quality. It's been really fun trying different brands that you can't easily get from your local store. The shipping process is easy and Natasha is lovely to deal with. Highly recommend.

I’ve just finished my second lot of puzzles and I am loving the experience. The quality of the puzzles is amazing of course, but the experience end to end was also smooth and well managed. There is a great range of puzzles to choose from in lots of styles. The pricing feels very fair. Overall I think it’s an excellent concept and I’m really enjoying it.

A really awesome range of some of the coolest and prettiest premium puzzles I've seen. The whole process is so easy, and shipping is really quick. Natasha handles absolutely everything, including booking returns and sending through the shipping label, so pretty much all you have to do to is enjoy the puzzles. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

The Borrowed Piece is a great initiative. I am thoroughly enjoying the option to do different brands of puzzles that I wouldn’t normally purchase or aren’t freely available in Australia. With the popularity of speed puzzling increasing this is a way to have more opportunity and options. Great communication and service. Puzzles are delivered to my door and it’s easy to organise the returns. I highly recommend.
