Frequently asked questions
How long does a parcel take from Turkey to Germany?
The nonstop flight is about 2h 45m across 1,838 km. In practice the wait is finding a traveler rather than the flying, so parcels usually move within a few days of being matched.
Which currency do I agree the reward in?
Turkey uses TRY and Germany uses EUR. Agree which of the two the reward is in before the handover, because you pay the traveler directly.
How much does it cost to send a package from Turkey to Germany?

How fast is traveler delivery from Turkey to Germany?
Because your package travels with a person on a flight, delivery is typically within 1–3 days once a traveler is matched, on frequent direct flights. That is usually much faster than economy courier or postal options on this corridor.
Is it safe to send a package with a traveler?
Yes. Every traveler completes identity (KYC) verification, pickup and delivery are each confirmed with a one-time handoff code, and two-way ratings keep both sides accountable. You pay the traveler directly, so the platform never holds your money.
What can I send from Turkey to Germany?
