## What U-take does

U-take helps people ship items abroad by matching them with travelers who have spare luggage capacity on real flights. It is an alternative to traditional couriers — often cheaper and more flexible for person-to-person deliveries. Also known as crowdshipping or collaborative shipping.

## Core use cases

1. **Send a parcel** — Ship a package internationally using a traveler on your route.
2. **Publish a flight** — Travelers earn money by carrying legal items in spare luggage.
3. **Purchase order** — Buy something from abroad and have a traveler purchase and deliver it.

## How it works (senders)

1. Describe the package and route (pickup → delivery).
2. Travelers on matching flights make delivery offers.
3. Chat, agree on price, authorize payment securely.
4. Track pickup → flight → delivery; confirm with a delivery code; leave a review.

## How it works (travelers)

1. Publish your flight route, date, and available capacity.
2. Browse matching sender requests on your trip.
3. Make an offer; once accepted, coordinate in chat.
4. Deliver the item and receive your traveler fee.

## Safety & trust

- Identity-verified users and two-way reviews
- Payments handled through a secure payment partner
- Agreements locked in chat before pickup
