Does the service work in both directions?

Yes. You can send a parcel from France to Turkey or from Turkey to France, depending on the travellers available on the route.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on the travel date of the person you choose. Since the handover is in person, delivery is often faster than international postal shipping.

How are travellers verified?

Each traveller verifies their email and phone and completes a Stripe verification to get paid. Community reviews further build trust.
