shypp.it

@dredurr you can let someone who's driving somewhere ship something for you on the way. Car pooling for items :-)

@adriankrion Ah! Now I get it. Thank you. What are the limitations to what can be shipped?

Nothing illegal (drugs, weapons, etc) of course. Apart from that, you can shypp anything as long as you find somebody taking it for you.

@scrivs yes, you're right. Shyp.com isn't a big thing in Europe, so we only realized after it was too late. For the hypothetic case we would consider re-naming - would have suggestions?

@adriankrion probably a good idea to consider rebranding...

@marcuscoh it's not necessarily local, but "human mule service" expresses it quite accurately ;-)

@joshlilien we're based in Berin, Germany. But we don't prevent anybody from using shypp.it from other countries, too ;-)

@mlsj1 it's not that much different from Roadie, except for two aspects: a. We're based in Berlin and therefore operating mostly in Europe b. We're a real peer-to-peer service, i.e. we don't distinguish between "driver" users and "sender" users, they're all equal. This also means that senders can browse through a list of available trips and respond to them directly. Roadie seems to be directing drivers to pick up and deliver stuff from a list of offered gigs only. Whether these are pros or a cons we'd be happy to hear opinions on :-) Have you used Roadie?
