The UBER of FedEx
The only marketplace for international parcel delivery
Our objective is to provide a more environmental solution to international parcel delivery. We don't fly cargo planes (as a matter of fact, we don't have any), but we believe passenger planes have room for more cargo!
Pickeru is a platform where international travelers can meet with parcel senders, carry small items and make some cash in return.
This way we aim to provide a more affordable option to carry a parcel to its destination while reducing the high travel costs for travelers.

Pickeru helped me transfer my personal belongings from San Diego to Istanbul. It was smooth and cost-effective.
We have one home!
1 ton of air freight causes 500g of on-carriage* CO2 emission per km, meaning every cargo plane produces around 200 to 500 tonnes of C02 during each and every transatlantic flight!
Our math is simple:
Less cargo planes = Less CO2 emission!
