Fair for senders, worth it for travellers
The sender pays the traveller a carrying price. Carrykin suggests a fair price, holds the payment until the delivery is confirmed at the destination, and keeps a small fee.
Suggested prices
| Weight | Suggested price | Typical range | Per kg | Carrykin fee | Traveller receives |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | €10 | €9 – €12 | €10 | €0 | €10 |
| 2 kg | €18 | €16 – €22 | €9 | €0 | €18 |
| 3 kg | €25 | €22 – €30 | €8.33 | €0 | €25 |
| 5 kg | €40 | €35 – €48 | €8 | €0 | €40 |
| 10 kg | €70 | €62 – €84 | €7 | €0 | €70 |
- The price is negotiable – agree it directly with the traveller in the app (offer, counter-offer, accept).
- Document delivery may be priced differently from parcels.
- Items that need extra attention, such as fragile “handle with care” items, may cost extra.
Per-kg prices fall as weight grows: even 1 kg needs a meeting, a package check and a delivery. Senders can offer within the range; travellers can accept or suggest another price.
Carrykin fee
7.5% of the carrying price, at least €1 and at most €7.50. Paid out of the carrying price – the sender pays exactly the agreed amount.
Held until delivered
The sender pays after the traveller accepts. Carrykin holds the money and releases it only when the recipient's delivery code is confirmed. Cancelled before handover? Full refund. Card and bank payments are processed by Stripe; Carrykin never sees your card details.

Prices are the starting hypotheses for our 2026 pilot and may change. They cover the carrying service only – never the value of the items.
