Existing Journeys Cut Emissions Versus Dedicated Delivery Vans

Matching Parcels to Routes Already in Use

Senders posting a parcel on the marketplace select from journeys that drivers have already planned. This approach uses travel that would occur regardless, avoiding the need for a separate van to cover the same distance.

Small businesses benefit when a parcel travels along a driver's existing path. The platform shows distance-based pricing with a €9 minimum, and payment sits in escrow until the sender confirms receipt.

Practical Steps for Senders

• Enter the collection and delivery postcodes to view available routes.
• Choose a driver whose schedule aligns with your timeline.
• Release funds from escrow only after the parcel arrives and you verify its condition.

Drivers receive 70 percent of the agreed price once confirmation occurs. The remaining 30 percent stays with the platform as its transparent commission.

How Drivers Fit Parcels Into Daily Travel

Drivers list segments of journeys they will make anyway. A commute between cities or a regular business trip becomes a delivery opportunity without adding mileage.

This method keeps vehicles off the road that would otherwise run solely for parcel work. Senders avoid arranging dedicated transport for items that fit within existing schedules.

Confirming Delivery and Releasing Payment

After handover the sender checks the item and confirms through the platform. Escrow then releases the driver's share. Distance-based pricing remains visible throughout, with the €9 floor applying to shorter segments.

Both parties see the full breakdown before the journey begins. No additional vehicles enter service for the delivery.

Benefits for Rural and Urban Routes Alike

Rural senders gain access to drivers already crossing those areas. Urban small businesses can post items for collection during normal travel patterns.

The model relies on verified routes rather than new trips. Senders and drivers coordinate directly through the listing, using the escrow process for security.

Record Keeping After Completion

Once confirmed, the transaction closes. Drivers maintain records of completed segments for their own accounts. Senders keep proof of delivery within the platform.

This structure supports repeated use of the same routes without generating extra traffic.
