SendIt
Description as a Tweet:
Send items via people that are traveling domestically or overseas to be delivered.
Inspiration:
My relatives and family friends always send things that they want to send back to their home country with people they know that happen to be visiting that country. I figured that a lot of other people that send things overseas probably do this too so I thought why only limit it to people you know, why not use other people, that you may not know, traveling overseas as well. Why not do it domestically as well.
What it does:
It lets people who are travelling domestically or overseas to make a listing that they're going to be travelling to a certain place so that way others can see that listing on the map and contact them so they can send their desired item to that place via the lister. The lister can charge money for the delivery if they wish.
