simply if you r a traveler and have a place in ur luggage. visit zaagel.com and see what products are wanted by others. if you see something that you can buy and bring with you, then check its price on the provided link and add ur commission and then add an offer.

once ur offer is accepted, Zaagel collects you money and hand it to u when u deliver the items

the site is in its beta version so plz give it a try and give us ur feedback as a traveler or as a person who order products

we started in Egypt where lots of people try to purchase products form the U.S. and Europe. The cost of getting any product to Egypt is very high. The same thing apply to other countries. When we launched the website, we got over 60 orders. The travelers who delivered those items got around $400 in commission each. We wanna make our service reliable to buyers and travelers so we ask travelers to buy products from their own pocket and we collect their money and commission from the buyers in advance to guarantee payment.

So far we found more demand on purchases than expected but we still need to spread the word among travelers specially between U.S. and Egypt to be able to deliver more products.

Would like to get more feedback from you guys in this thread !!
