People-powered delivery. Not another courier.

Someone is flying to Addis this week.
Your package should be with them.

30-day shipping is a choice. 72-hour delivery is a decision.

Delegate helps Ethiopian diaspora families and cross-border sellers send the exact thing home through verified travelers, traveler rewards, protected payment status, photo proof, tamper-evident packaging, QR handoff, and trusted community hubs.

  • — No mystery WhatsApp handoff.
  • — No "I'll check and call you back."
  • — No package disappearing into silence.

The Delegate Model

You set the reward. Travelers choose what works.

Delegate works like a trusted people-powered marketplace. You post what you want to send. You suggest a traveler reward. Verified travelers can accept or counter. Delegate reviews the item, documents the package, protects the payment status, and confirms the handoff.

Step 1

Step 2

Suggest reward

Step 3

Step 5

Handoff confirmed

Delegate does not price like a courier. The market sets the traveler reward. Delegate provides the trust layer.

The old way

You already know the old system.

Someone posts in the group:

"Who is flying to Addis?"

A name appears. A package changes hands. A promise is made.
Then the silence begins.

  • — No tracking.
  • — No receipt.
  • — No proof.
  • — No one clearly responsible.

If it arrives, everyone thanks God.

If it disappears, the whole community starts investigating.

Delegate is built for that exact moment.

Who Delegate is for

Three roles. One trust layer.

For Senders

Send what they actually need.

Cash is useful. But sometimes your family does not need cash.

They need the exact laptop. The right textbook. The phone model that works there. The child's school item. The family gift. The thing itself.

With Delegate, you post the item, suggest a traveler reward, and get a documented handoff.

Send

For Travelers

You are already flying to Addis.

Let the empty space help pay for the trip.

See the item before you accept. Know the reward before pickup. Counter if the reward is too low. Carry approved goods only. Never accept a sealed mystery package. Get paid after confirmed handoff.

Carry

For Businesses & Community Spaces

Every pickup is a customer walking into your space.

A Delegate Hub is a trusted local pickup point.

Businesses and community organizations can serve their community without becoming a shipping company. You do not handle money. You do not open packages. You do not resolve disputes. You scan in, scan out, and hand over.

FAQ

Honest answers.

For longer questions, see the full FAQ or the safety page.

Is this just WhatsApp with extra steps?+

No. WhatsApp gives you a name. Delegate gives you a system: item review, traveler reward, identity review, proof, payment status, trusted hubs, and QR-confirmed handoff.

Who sets the price?+

The sender suggests a traveler reward. Travelers can accept or counter. Delegate adds a clear service fee, and hubs receive a fixed handoff fee when used.

Can I send anything?+

No. Delegate only allows approved, documented items. No mystery packages, prohibited goods, or items travelers cannot inspect before accepting.

Do travelers have to accept the sender's reward?+

No. Travelers can accept, decline, or counter.

Do travelers pay out of pocket?+

No traveler should be forced to pay out of pocket. We use payment-status placeholders and admin-managed payment confirmation until live payment rails are ready.

Where are you opening first?+

Seattle → Addis Ababa and Toronto → Addis Ababa.

What does a Hub do?+

A Delegate Hub is a trusted pickup point. Hubs scan packages in, scan packages out, and hand them to verified recipients. Hubs do not handle money, open packages, or resolve disputes.

How fast is delivery?+

30-day shipping is a choice. 72-hour delivery is a decision. Delegate is built around matched traveler routes designed to move approved items faster than traditional shipping.

The route already exists

Delegate makes it reliable.

People are already flying to Addis. Families are already sending goods. Businesses are already helping the community. Travelers are already carrying things informally. Delegate connects the route, documents the package, protects the payment status, and closes the loop.

Founding users help define the route before it opens wider.
