How to ship a package with a traveller
Shipping with a traveller, also referred to as crowdshipping, means your parcel rides on a real flight with a verified person heading your way. U-take matches you with travellers who have spare luggage capacity.
When it makes sense
Traveller shipping works best for small to medium parcels on international routes where traditional couriers are expensive or slow. Documents, gifts, clothing, and electronics (where allowed) are common. It is not for commercial freight or prohibited goods.
Step by step on U-take
Create a free account, post your parcel with pickup and delivery cities, then wait for travellers on matching flights to make offers. Compare ratings, chat to agree on price, authorise payment, and track until delivery is confirmed with a unique code.
Safety and customs
Every user is identity-verified. Payments are authorised before pickup and released after confirmed delivery. You must declare contents accurately and follow airline and customs rules: the sender and traveller are responsible for compliance.
Tips for a smooth delivery
Pack securely, share clear photos in chat, and respond quickly. Choose travellers with strong reviews on similar routes. For valuable items, discuss insurance and packaging in advance.
