Crowdshipping – as a growing shipping method!
With many people living abroad for work or travelling on leisure trips, crowd shipping platforms are gaining huge popularity these days. Crowd logistics are an alternative to traditional deliveries using some particular registered company, be it private or government. Crowd shipping lets travelers traveling to a particular country carry your parcel. Basically, parcels are co-transported along with passengers. These passengers are not travelling to transport parcels but take parcels depending upon the luggage space and weight left that they can carry along with them in the travel medium they are using for their personal trip.
Moovick is one such online platform that helps travelers, drivers and senders find each other, match the timing, and set the space availability and helps in sending parcel to the destination of the passenger. It is one of the cheapest ways to ship internationally.

In case you do not find a traveler, you can upload your details by register their request in the Register Parcel section and any traveler who happens to register for the same time will be able to see you and get in touch for taking your parcel to its destination.
If you are a frequent traveler or a sender, you can register on the website and you will be shown on that list when somebody starts searching for a parcel shipment.
