Verification Steps and Escrow Protections in Peer Deliveries
How verified drivers, upfront escrow payments and clear dispute processes maintain safety for senders and couriers on shared routes.
Driver Verification Before Matching
Drivers on the platform complete identity checks before they can accept parcels. Senders see only verified profiles when browsing available routes. This reduces risk for both parties in crowdsourced deliveries across Europe.
Verification covers basic details such as name, photo and vehicle information. Senders can review these details before confirming a match. The process applies to all drivers regardless of route length or parcel size.
Upfront Escrow Payments
Senders pay the full agreed amount into escrow at the time of booking. Funds stay held until the sender confirms receipt. This protects both the sender and the driver during the journey.
The minimum booking starts at €9 and increases with distance. The platform shows the exact 30 percent commission before payment. Drivers receive 70 percent once confirmation occurs.
Escrow prevents direct cash handling and keeps records of every transaction. Senders know the driver cannot access funds until delivery is verified.
Handling Disputes
If a parcel arrives damaged or late, senders start a dispute through the platform. Both parties submit details and any available evidence such as photos or timestamps.
The platform reviews submissions using the booking records. Outcomes may include full release of funds, partial adjustment or refund to the sender. Drivers keep records of route and handover to support their side.
Disputes remain transparent. The 30 percent commission stays visible even when funds are returned or adjusted.
Practical Steps for Senders
- Check driver verification status before accepting a match
- Photograph the parcel at handover and on arrival
- Confirm delivery only after inspection
- Open disputes promptly with clear evidence
Practical Steps for Drivers
- Complete verification fully before accepting parcels
- Keep delivery notes and photos during handover
- Respond quickly to any dispute notifications
- Understand that escrow release depends on sender confirmation
These measures keep the system reliable for small businesses, individual senders and drivers using existing European routes.
