So you're like Shyp, but for international travel. Cool. Have you heard of "Banged up Abroad"? How do you allow travellers to check the goods before they trave

  Yes, I heard about it before. I recommend that the travelers check the goods thoroughly before accepting the order. If the service buyers who want their goods ship do not allow their items to be inspected by the travelers, I recommend the travelers NOT to take the items with them as it is not worth the risk. This is somewhat eliminate service buyers privacy, but from what I understand, most people who are using this service would buy items that are either cost too much in their local market or item availability is rare to none. Example, PS4 or Xbox One. iPhones, iPad, used laptops, bike parts, electronics, limited edition items, etc. People who are using this service are also people in emerging markets with corrupted customs system (that delays items clearance or must bribe to get the item cleared), so with travelers carrying the items with them and declare as personal items, then it will make the shipping faster vs ship it traditional way (FedEx, DHL). Example can be seen for most electronics items like phones or laptops. Everyone knows that in Asia especially, customs can be troublesome (i.e Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Thailand). Items are always backlogged and if you are shipping to remote city, it will take weeks to ship the item. This would eliminate that delay as well, so people in remote city can get their item faster.
