People-powered delivery. Not another courier.
30-day shipping is a choice. 72-hour delivery is a decision.

The Delegate Model
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
Post item
Step 2
Suggest reward
Step 3
Accept / counter
Step 4
Proof captured
Step 5
Handoff confirmed
Delegate does not price like a courier. The market sets the traveler reward. Delegate provides the trust layer.
SendThe old way
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.
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
For Senders
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.
For Travelers
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.
For Businesses & Community Spaces
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.
The trust stack
"Who is this traveler?"
"Pay me first."
"I bought it, trust me."
"It was fine when I gave it."
"Meet me somewhere."
"I gave it to him."
"Can you carry this sealed bag?"
"The reward is too low."
"What do I do now?"
Opening routes
We are launching narrow on purpose. The first 50 deliveries define the route.
Trusted pickup points across Bole, Piassa, Megenagna, and Kazanchis. Scan in, scan out, hand over.
Become a HubThe reward system
Delegate does not price every delivery like a courier. The sender suggests a reward. The traveler accepts or counters. Delegate adds a clear service fee. Hubs receive a fixed handoff fee when used. The total is shown before payment.

Founding cohort
We are starting with one destination from two origins: Seattle → Addis and Toronto → Addis. Founding senders, travelers, and hubs will help define how the route works before it opens wider.
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.
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.
No. Delegate only allows approved, documented items. No mystery packages, prohibited goods, or items travelers cannot inspect before accepting.
No. Travelers can accept, decline, or counter.
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.
Seattle → Addis Ababa and Toronto → Addis Ababa.
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.
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
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.
