Delegate › How it works
You already know how this works without Delegate. Someone posts in the group: “Who is flying to Addis?” A name appears. A package changes hands. A promise is made. Delegate is built for that exact moment.
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. No clear record. No photographs. No one can say exactly where the package is or what happens next.
If it arrives, everyone is relieved. If it does not, the whole community starts investigating.
Paste a product link, upload a photo, or describe an item you already own.
Travelers going your way can accept your suggested reward or send a counteroffer.
The item and traveler follow the verification, Hub, and evidence steps required for that request and corridor.
The recipient confirms with a code or approved proof. The record shows what happened at every step.
Delegate began with a simple idea: let a shopper in Africa ask a traveler already coming their way to buy something abroad and bring it. Over time the same marketplace expanded naturally. The person may need a traveler to buy the item — or may already own it and only need someone to carry it.
| Buy from abroad | Send what you own | |
|---|---|---|
| Traveler’s job | Purchases and carries | Carries only |
| What is owed | Product reimbursement plus reward | Traveler reward |
| Evidence | Receipt and product proof | Item and custody proof |
Timing depends on a real traveler trip, item review, Hub requirements, and the recipient. When a request is matched, the app shows the relevant dates and current estimate.
There is no universal delivery time, and Delegate does not publish one.
