How to Send a Package With a Traveler: A Step-by-Step Guide
From posting your request to the final handoff code — exactly how to send a package with a traveler.
Step 1 — Post what you want to send
Describe the item, its size and weight, where it’s going, and the reward you’re offering. Clear photos and an honest description help travelers accept quickly and avoid surprises at handoff. Everything you send must be openly declared.
Step 2 — Match with a verified traveler
Travelers already flying your route see your request and accept it, or you browse posted trips and choose one. You can chat in-app first to agree on pickup, timing, and any details before committing.
Step 3 — Pay securely
Once you agree, your payment is held securely by the platform. The traveler can see the deal is funded and confirmed, but the money is not released to them yet — it stays protected until delivery is confirmed.
Step 4 — Hand off, deliver, and confirm
Pickup and delivery are each confirmed with a one-time code, so both sides know the package changed hands. When the receiver confirms delivery, the funds are released to the traveler and you both leave a rating.
Key takeaways
- Write a clear, honest listing with photos, size, weight, and destination
- Agree the details in chat before you fund the deal
- Your payment stays protected until delivery is confirmed
- One-time handoff codes confirm both pickup and delivery
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to find a traveler?
It depends on the route — busy corridors can match within hours, while rarer routes take longer. Offering a fair reward and a flexible pickup window helps you match faster.
Do I meet the traveler in person?
Usually the sender or a nominated person hands the package to the traveler, and the receiver collects it on arrival. Each handoff is confirmed with a one-time code, and you can agree other arrangements in chat.
Can I track my package?
You stay in contact through in-app chat the whole way, and the one-time codes confirm pickup and delivery. Because a single traveler carries it door to door, there are no sorting-hub black holes.
