Problem
International shipping through traditional courier services is often expensive, especially for individuals and small businesses sending packages across borders. Travelers frequently fly with unused luggage space that could generate income, but there has been no efficient way to match these travelers with people who need items shipped to the same destinations.
Solution
Carrylug is a peer-to-peer shipping marketplace that connects senders with travelers who have spare luggage capacity on upcoming international trips. Senders can search for available trips by city or country, select a traveler whose route matches their delivery destination, and arrange for package pickup and delivery at agreed prices. Travelers post their upcoming trips with available weight and per-kilogram rates, enabling direct negotiation and transactions between the parties. The platform provides rating and review systems to verify trustworthiness, a smart filter tool for easy searching, and a tracking system that lets shippers update delivery status in real time. CarryLug also serves forwarders and shipping companies that use the platform as an operational tool or backend for connecting with travelers.
Target Audience
Carrylug serves individual travelers who want to earn money from their spare luggage space and senders—both individuals and small businesses—who need affordable international package delivery. The platform also accommodates forwarders and shipping companies that use it as an operational tool for connecting with travelers.
