Send Items Between Canada & Nigeria
TrustKarry helps senders and travelers already making the journey coordinate package handoffs, status updates, and offline fee acknowledgements in one place.
Coordinate across continents with clearer handoffs.
About TrustKarry
TrustKarry is a peer-to-peer coordination marketplace that connects travelers between Canada and Nigeria with senders who have items to send along the same route. Our mission is to give the diaspora a community-driven, affordable way to coordinate item delivery — without acting as a carrier, escrow, or payment processor.
Let's help each other bridge the gap between continents, one package at a time.
Community-Driven
We're building a trusted community of travelers and senders who help each other send items across borders.
Coordinated, Not Custodial
Manual identity verification, in-app handoff records, and clear lifecycle updates help both sides coordinate. Carrying fees stay between sender and traveler — TrustKarry never holds or releases funds.
Bridging Continents
We're making cross-continental item delivery between Canada and Nigeria more accessible, affordable, and personal.
How TrustKarry Works
Senders and travelers coordinate directly through TrustKarry, with each step recorded so both sides know what happens next.
Join and get reviewed
Create your profile as a Karry Sender or Karry Traveler and submit identity documents for manual review by our admin team.
Post a trip or request
Travelers publish route, date, capacity, and suggested per-kg rate. Senders find a matching trip and create one or more package requests.
Coordinate handoffs
Traveler and sender agree on the meetup, package inspection, and offline carrying fee. The app records the handoff plan, collection, transit, and pickup milestones.
Confirm completion
Both sides acknowledge offline payment, confirm pickup or delivery, and close the request. If something goes wrong, the dispute context is kept in one reviewable thread.
For Senders
For Senders
Send items to Nigeria through people already heading there — without paying full international shipping rates.
1. Create your request
Choose a verified traveler whose route fits your need. Describe what you want to send, the weight, and any handling notes.
2. Agree on the carrying fee offline
TrustKarry shows a suggested fee based on weight and the traveler’s per-kg rate, but the actual fee is agreed directly between you and the traveler. We do not hold or process payments.
3. Hand the package over
Drop the package at the traveler’s location or meet at an agreed safe spot (some travelers offer a police-station meetup option). Confirm the handoff in the app.
4. Track milestones, confirm delivery
Get in-app updates as the traveler marks the package In Transit, Arrived, and Ready for Pickup. When your recipient receives it, confirm delivery in the app to close the request.
Every traveler is manually identity-verified by our admin team before they show as Verified. Verification improves trust signals but is not a guarantee.
For Travelers
For Travelers
Already making the trip? Use unused luggage capacity to help the diaspora and earn an agreed carrying fee.
1. Post your trip
Set your route, departure date, available kilograms, and your suggested per-kg rate. Your trip becomes discoverable to senders heading on the same route.
2. Review incoming requests
Senders submit requests against your trip. You see what they want carried, when, and the package details. Accept the requests that fit your trip; reject the ones that don’t.
3. Coordinate the handoff
Agree on the carrying fee with the sender (offline). Pick a safe meeting place, inspect the package, and confirm collection in the app.
4. Carry, deliver, confirm
Mark the package In Transit when you depart. Update Arrived once you reach the destination, then Ready for Pickup. After the recipient picks up, the sender confirms delivery in the app.
You always retain the right to inspect a package before accepting it and to refuse it for any reason. Prohibited items are listed in our Terms of Service.
Trust & Safety
How identity verification, handoff records, and disputes work between senders and travelers.
Manual identity verification
Every member submits government ID, address proof, and a selfie, and our admin team reviews each submission manually today. As we grow, automated identity checks and vendor-backed verification become a future track on top of this baseline.
In-app handoff records
Each request moves through a clear lifecycle — handoff plan, package collected, in transit, arrived, ready for pickup, delivered. Every transition is timestamped in the app.
Travelers can always inspect and refuse
A traveler can decline any package they have not been allowed to inspect or that they are not comfortable carrying. Prohibited items are listed in the Terms of Service.
Disputes get reviewed manually
If a request goes wrong, both parties can flag a dispute. An admin reviews the timeline, messages, and evidence and records a resolution. Some issues may need law enforcement, customs, or independent legal advice — TrustKarry is not a court.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from senders and travelers thinking about joining TrustKarry.
How do I know a traveler will actually carry my package?
Travelers are manually identity-verified by our admin team before they appear as Verified. You can also see their accepted-request history and reviews from past senders. We do not guarantee delivery — coordination is between you and the traveler — but verification and reviews give you signal to choose well.
What if my package gets lost or damaged in transit?
TrustKarry is a coordination marketplace, not an insurance provider. We don’t guarantee items against loss or damage. If something goes wrong, both parties can open a dispute and an admin reviews the timeline, messages, and any evidence. Significant loss may require independent legal or insurance advice.
How is the carrying fee handled?
TrustKarry shows a suggested fee based on package weight and the traveler’s per-kg rate, but the actual fee is agreed directly between sender and traveler. The app records that an offline payment was acknowledged but never holds, transfers, or refunds funds. All money settles between you.
Does TrustKarry provide GPS tracking?
No. TrustKarry does not provide GPS tracking. Instead, you get in-app status updates at each lifecycle milestone — handoff plan confirmed, package collected, in transit, arrived, ready for pickup, and delivered — based on what the sender and traveler confirm in the app.
What items can I send through TrustKarry?
You may not send items that are illegal at origin or destination, that violate airline or border rules, or that you have misrepresented to the traveler. Travelers always have the right to inspect and refuse a package. The full prohibited-items list is in the Terms of Service.
How long does delivery typically take?
Delivery time depends on the traveler’s itinerary. Most journeys complete within the traveler’s trip window and a short coordination period afterward. TrustKarry doesn’t make delivery guarantees — your timeline is whatever sender and traveler agree to.
How much can I earn as a traveler?
Earnings depend on your route, capacity, and the per-kg rate you set. TrustKarry shows the suggested fee for each request based on weight and your rate, but the final fee is agreed directly between you and the sender. There is no platform fee in this phase.
Do I have to accept every request as a traveler?
No. You review every incoming request and decide whether to accept. You can reject with a reason if a request doesn’t fit your trip, your capacity, or your comfort. You can also inspect any package at handoff and refuse it for any reason.
How is my identity verified?
You submit a government photo ID, an address proof, and a selfie through the app. Our admin team reviews these manually today and either approves you, rejects with a reason, or asks for clarification. Automated identity checks are a future track that will layer on top of this baseline as we grow.
Where does TrustKarry currently operate?
We currently operate between Canada and Nigeria. We will widen routes carefully as the platform grows.
Is TrustKarry free?
Yes — there is no platform fee on coordinating a request, and we don’t take a cut of the carrying fee. Carrying fees go entirely to the traveler. TrustKarry doesn’t hold or process them.
How do I report a problem or share feedback?
Use the in-app dispute affordance for safety or coordination issues, or email info.trustkarry@gmail.com for anything else. We’re a small team and we read every message.
