Security Tips
SENDER SIDE

How to send your parcel safely?

Your security is our priority. Once you have booked and obtained the traveler's number, remain vigilant.

  • Identification Documents

    Request a photo of their passport (identity page) and a selfie for verification.

  • Handing over the parcel

    Always meet the traveler at the airport on the day of their departure to hand over the parcel in person.

Golden Rule:

Do not provide the unique code until delivery has been confirmed by your recipient.

TRAVELER SIDE

How to transport a parcel safely?

As a traveler, you are responsible for your luggage. Here is how to guarantee a stress-free experience.

Your rights and duties during handover:
  • Content Control

    You must imperatively inspect the inside of the parcel in front of the sender. Refuse any pre-sealed parcel.

  • Prohibited Items

    Never accept to transport unidentified liquids, powders, or high-value items not declared.

Payment Guarantee

To unlock your money safely, ask for the unique code from the sender only at the moment of delivery.

Customs Advice:

If in doubt about the legality of an object, it's better to decline. Your legal security comes first.
