Upfront Escrow Secures Every Peer Delivery

The Escrow Process Step by Step

A sender posts a delivery request with details of size, weight and destination. A verified driver travelling that route accepts and the sender then places the agreed price into escrow.

The price is distance-based with a nine euro minimum. The thirty percent platform commission is displayed at the time of booking so both parties see the split.

After the driver collects and delivers the parcel, the sender confirms receipt. Only then is seventy percent released to the driver.

Benefits for Senders

• Money remains in escrow until the sender verifies the parcel arrived safely.
• No direct transfer to the driver occurs before confirmation.
• The sender can review driver verification and route before committing funds.

Small businesses use this for regular shipments without contracts. They know payment is conditional on successful handover.

Benefits for Drivers

• Escrow shows funds are already reserved before the driver changes plans to carry the parcel.
• The driver receives seventy percent automatically once confirmation is given.
• Existing journeys are used without extra cost or risk of non-payment.

Drivers avoid chasing senders after delivery. The system handles release based on the sender's confirmation.

Using the Model in Daily Operations

Senders match parcels to drivers already on the road. This keeps costs lower than dedicated services while escrow manages trust.

Drivers add parcels to routes they would travel anyway. Escrow ensures the extra effort is compensated after delivery.

Both sides see the same transparent breakdown of price and commission. No hidden fees appear after acceptance.

Handling the Confirmation Stage

The sender inspects the parcel upon arrival and confirms in the platform. This single action triggers the transfer to the driver.

If issues arise, the platform rules govern next steps, but the escrow itself prevents premature release of funds.

Why the Structure Matters

The upfront escrow followed by confirmation creates a clear sequence. Senders control release. Drivers know payment waits only on that confirmation.

Distance-based pricing stays consistent across bookings. The nine euro minimum sets the floor for short routes.

This approach supports peer-to-peer deliveries without direct financial arrangements between participants. Escrow remains the shared protection mechanism for every transaction.
