About the black Friday thingy, how can we specifically ask for the traveler to get your stuff at black Friday for special price only? It will be tricky unless we buy the thingy online and deliver it to him, but he must accept this prior to black Friday.
Also nobody knows if the stuff he wants will be on sale :s
Yep, nobody knows :) I'd say, let's put an order on the website, and when a traveler gets in touch, specify in the chat that you want that specific product but only if it's on sales.

You can deposit the maximum amount that you're willing to pay to the platform, so if the item is <= that price, the traveler will buy it for you. If the item costs less than your deposit, we'll refund you the difference.
If the item costs more than your deposit, we'll refund the whole deposit.

If all this doesn't work out (no traveler gets in touch), you don't lose anything, since you only need to deposit money when you find a traveler you like :) Volia.

What would you like to buy?
A GTX 1070
It's already 130$ less expensive than pcandparts, so imagine if one model get a 50-100$ discount!!
Though the big problem is that the box of a GTX card is big, so I doubt many travelers will accept

They can always get it without the box wrapped in clothes

Should be good now :)
What could be good is too implement an actual state of travelers, meaning if you want to order something from a particular city in the world you can see how many travelers are actually in and are willing to help in the website, because many people have no clue if they post an order this week or next month but if they see that they are actually 3 travelers in NYC right now it can help them decide Before posting an order

hi vegetaleb, yes that's on our list for the next deployment! Actually it looks like there are going to be plenty of orders for winter holidays, anyway, so I think we'll launch this feature afterwards to keep everyone motivated :)
Speaking of this, there's a traveler coming from Korea next week, so if you guys want some fancy asian gadgets get in touch asap
Bro Mane,
Don't take it wrong but your website will never work, firstly you didn't mention that you take fees, and secondly your fees are WAY too high for just making a link between people, in the end as expensive as in Lebanon because you take as much fees as VAT + fees for the travelers.
You should reconsider your fees to 2% max or it will never work
Hey,

Can't do it at 2%, since it's not only putting people in touch, but taking payments and making payouts to the travelers and this makes 5% of the transaction amount..

Look, it already works with expensive items. Everything depends on what's the price difference between Lebanon and elsewhere. Say, you want an iPhone 7, it costs $649 in the USA. You pay platform fees: ±$50 plus $30 to the traveler, which gives you a final price of $730 versus $830 on gadgitechstore which is the cheapest price I'm able to find. Couldn't you use additional $100 for something better?

And I'm not sure that I haven't mentioned this before, but the platform fees are equal to 7%+$6 per transaction.

Plus, it works for items that are not available at all in Lebanon..

Well, it's not going to be the next Amazon, I understand that, it's just a hobby project of ours, but it still might help out some people, we hope. Thanks a lot for taking look at it, anyway! :)

Hey guys,

We have a traveler you flies from the US on December, 19th and claims to travel with an empty suitcase! :) So he seems like a real nice guy and is into the concept, so if you'd like to test the website and give us some feedback so that we can improve , the time is now ;)

We also want to cut off the fixed part of the fee for the forum members, so that you can get cheaper stuff in order to test it out, so please contact me once you've posted anything so that we can remove the fees manually.

Happy blackfridaycybermonday to everyone!
So whats the website again?! I want that mouse that i cannot find in Lebanon anymore , maybe that would prove useful

I am looking for an high quality HDMI Cable (1.5 m) that supports HDMI 2.0 // 2.0 a to link my 1070 Gaming X to the TV and activate - 2160 p // 60hz // 4 4 4 Chroma //// or 10 bit HDR // 4 2 0 which requires a high bandwidth hdmi cable - they are called a High Bandwidth HDMI Cables - tried the PS4 Pro HDMI Cable , which is a high bandwidth , it worked like a charm.

HDMI 2.0 cables can transfer data at up to 18Gbps, up from 10.2Gbps in HDMI 1.4 cables.
