Not a courier. A neighbour with a flight.
Send it home.Earn as you fly.
Connect with travellers heading to Ethiopia and send packages affordably — or carry and earn on your next flight.
Simple. Trusted. Fast.
Simple for everyone
Whether you are sending a package or carrying one, the whole process takes minutes to set up.
Post or browse
Package senders post what they need delivered. Travellers post their upcoming trips with spare kg. The match is instant.
Match & agree
Package sender requests a traveller. Traveller reviews and accepts. Both sides agree on weight, price, and pickup details.
Pay into escrow
Package sender pays securely. Funds are held by Shanta — not released until the package is confirmed delivered.
Traveller delivers
The traveller flies, hands the package to the recipient at the destination. Recipient confirms. Traveller gets paid instantly.
Every delivery is safe by design.
Every traveller is ID-verified with a government ID and live selfie before their first trip. Your payment sits in escrow — not a penny is released until your recipient confirms the package arrived.
Only real, completed deliveries can earn a review. Every rating you see is earned — not given.
Pay less. A lot less.
Move your package on the same flight — for a fraction of the courier price.
