From posting your request to the final handoff code — exactly how to send a package with a traveler.

How to Send a Package With a Traveler: A Step-by-Step Guide

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 the traveler directly

You and the traveler agree the reward and settle it directly between you — Travel2Cash does not collect, hold, or release the payment. You arrange the transfer with the traveler; the platform keeps identity checks, in-app chat, and handoff codes around the deal.

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 with the one-time code, you both leave a rating.

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.
