Kimia

Security of parcel carpooling between individuals

A successful connection begins with transparent content, written terms and the freedom to refuse as soon as something seems inconsistent.

Updated on September 19, 2026

Quick answer

Never accept a package that you have not opened and checked yourself. Compare the identity, description, supporting documents and value, then keep the terms agreed in the messaging.

For the sender

  • Describe all objects without a vague formula.
  • Provide realistic weight, dimensions and value.
  • Prepare the necessary supporting documents.
  • Allow the traveler to check the contents before closing.

For the traveler

  • Compare the identity and information available in the application.
  • Inspect each object yourself.
  • Refuse packaging imposed as tamper-proof.
  • Check the official rules regardless of what the sender claims.

Signals that should interrupt the exchange

  • Pressure to decide immediately.
  • Description that changes during the conversation.
  • Refusal to show content or supporting documents.
  • Request to circumvent the functions and rules of the platform.
  • Object whose origin, value or destination remains unexplained.

Organize the delivery

Choose a suitable location, check the content together and confirm the relevant terms in writing. Photographing the closed package can document its condition, but never replaces prior inspection.

For an international journey

Systematically add customs and air checks. Acceptance in Kimia never constitutes administrative authorization to transport an object.

Frequently asked questions

Can we accept a package that has already been closed?

No. The traveler must inspect each item before closing and refuse if the sender prevents this inspection.

What signals should alert?

An artificial emergency, a changing description, the absence of supporting documentation or a request to bypass the platform are sufficient reasons to interrupt the exchange.

Is a photo of the package enough?

No. A photo can document the exterior condition after closing, but does not prove the complete contents or its conformity.
