I understand that the express delivery market is quite far from the interests of readers, but in general there are many courier services in the world.
However, despite the fact that the market is very developed, there are several interesting points.
1. Websites of carrier companies are not user friendly.
2. All tariffs of carrier companies are based on weight and size, and it is not always convenient and simple for an ordinary person to determine these parameters of his shipment.
3. Courier companies are actually very much, despite the fact that only 4 of them are leading in the market, they often offer a more economical service, but they are difficult to look for and with sites, as I said, they are not very good. Therefore, the choice is made among those who are at the hearing.
4. For companies that make a lot of shipments, courier companies offer quite serious discounts, about 30%.
The idea of a startup is based on these observations. It is summarized in a
presentation on YouTube.
The main point is the creation of a site where you can determine the cost of your shipment in various ways. And by specifying the size and weight, and by searching through the contents (for example, I send a laptop this and that) and by simply selecting a big-small, heavy-light. For certain parameters, offers are formed from carrier companies, sorted by time and cost. You can also pay for the courier online. And at the same time get a discount from the prices of carriers.
Due to the possibility for carriers to register for the service themselves, it is assumed that the service will offer a wider choice than the user will be able to do on their own, as this will have to search for too long.

Earnings - commission from each order (the difference between the discount from the carrier and the discount given to the user).
We are going to launch this project in the near future. I would like to hear constructive comments and suggestions.
