Colia connects people who need to send something abroad with travelers who already have space in their luggage. The trip is happening anyway. The parcel needs to go. Colia puts the two together. HOW IT WORKS 1. Publish: a traveler posts a trip and the kilos available. A sender posts what needs delivering, and by when. 2. Find: browse the listings on your route, or let Colia alert you the moment a matching one appears. 3. Agree: talk it through in the in-app chat, share photos of the item, and negotiate the reward, offer after counter-offer, until both sides say yes. Once you agree, Colia shares your contact details with each other. 4. Hand over: the parcel changes hands in person. The traveler checks the contents, item in hand, then carries it and is paid directly by the sender, however suits you both. NO COMMISSION Colia takes no cut. The reward is agreed between the two of you and paid directly from sender to traveler. Colia never holds the money, and there is no payment inside the app. BUILT ON TRUST • Verified email address and a profile photo required before publishing • Optional identity verification, and a verified badge for professional carriers • Public profiles, ratings and written reviews after every delivery • Contact details stay hidden while you negotiate, and are shared once you agree • Follow the travelers you trust and get notified when they post a new trip • Report or block anyone, at any time • The traveler checks the contents at the handover and can refuse a parcel: no sealed parcels, no prohibited or customs-restricted goods ON EVERY ROUTE Colia works wherever someone is flying: France–Tunisia, France–Morocco, Belgium–Morocco, Germany–Turkey, Canada–Algeria, United Kingdom–India, Spain–Colombia, United States–Mexico, and hundreds more.
