Ask Me Anything​ Hi everyone, We’re building a product called BagXtra, and I wanted to share it with you here. The gist is simple: Travelers flying abroad usually have extra luggage space. Shoppers back home want items that are hard to get or overpriced locally. BagXtra connects the two, allowing travelers to earn extra cash while shoppers gain access to products faster and at a lower cost. At launch, we’re starting with one-way travel (abroad → Nigeria), and plan to expand as we grow. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Ask me anything, what excites you, what worries you, or what you’d want us to fix before launch. Edit / Quick Clarification I’ve seen a few people ask about this, so let me clear it up: We don’t accept random packages from people to ship. How it actually works: Every order is from a known merchant (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc). The traveler is the one purchasing the item (not collecting someone’s bag). The shopper pays upfront into BagXtra’s escrow. Once you deliver, you get reimbursed for the item plus your delivery fee. To make it easier, travelers can even use Afterpay / Klarna (4 monthly installments) abroad. Example: a shopper pays $800 into escrow, you buy the item using $200 installment, deliver it, and BagXtra pays you back the full $800 + your earnings. That way: No risk of carrying illicit items. Items only come from trusted stores. Travelers earn, shoppers save. Traveler delivering a shipped package submitted by /u/DocumentBrilliant540 [link] [comments]
