Send a parcel to Algeria
CheapShip connects people sending a parcel with travellers already making the trip. The parcel travels in the traveller's luggage; they agree on the price together, and the payment stays held until the handover.
There is no imposed rate: the sender makes an offer, the traveller accepts it or makes a counter-offer. Prices are usually between €15 and €30 per parcel.

Verified identities
A verified email is enough to post. Before any transaction (contact, offer, payment), both parties' phone and ID are verified, and each accepts the transport contract.
Security Check at pickup
At the handover meeting, the traveller checks the parcel and its contents before agreeing to carry it. If it does not match the listing, they refuse it, with photos as evidence.
Payment held until handover
The sender pays by card through Stripe. The money stays in an escrow account and is only released to the traveller after the parcel is handed over.
Handover code
After payment, the sender receives a code to pass to the recipient. The delivery is only confirmed when the recipient gives this code to the traveller.

What to know for Algeria
In Algeria, personal belongings and gifts are allowed in reasonable quantities; beyond that, the Directorate General of Customs may charge duties or ask for a declaration. Avoid several identical items, which may be considered commercial, and include the prescription for any medicine.
What you cannot send
Cash, weapons, drugs, dangerous or flammable goods, counterfeits, medicines without a prescription, and anything illegal at departure or arrival. The traveller can refuse a parcel whose contents they cannot check.
In every case, the traveller can check the parcel's contents and refuse it at the handover. Never send cash, medicines without a prescription, prohibited items or products whose origin you don't know.

The parcel travels with the traveller: it arrives when they do, and the handover takes place on the day they arrive or in the following days, as agreed. The timing therefore mostly depends on the date of the next trip posted on your route.
Is CheapShip secure for sending my parcels?
Yes. Before any transaction (contact, offer, payment), CheapShip verifies both parties' phone and ID, and each accepts the transport contract.
