Show HN: I built a platform that connects people with travelers to carry items

from the show-hn dept.

https://www.trip2drop.com/

I built Trip2Drop as a side project to solve a problem I kept running into like getting small but important items from another city or country when someone I knew was already traveling.

It has eventually become an early-stage marketplace that connects “receivers” (who need an item) with “travelers” (who are already traveling).

There’s no money making yet, and Trip2Drop is currently just a connecting layer, not a seller or logistics provider.

@dragonwriter Trip2Drop is a connecting platform between travelers and shoppers. After this both parties have to coordinate with each other for payments, meetups, custom legalities etc. Platform just helps to connect.

I'd do this for friends, but at scale this is unfortunately customs fraud

I feel like we have had discussions on HN about very serious legal problems associated with previous “maarketplaces” using exactly this model.

"Did you pack this item yourself?"
