Delivery to Ethiopia, with people you can verify.
Faster than postal. Safer than asking a stranger on WhatsApp. Waylo Go matches your parcel with ID-verified travelers flying your route — with handoff photos and a one-time delivery code.
“We built Waylo Go for our own families first. Trust here isn't a feeling — it's something you can check at every single step.”

We're early, and we'd rather show you exactly where we are than inflate it. These numbers update from real activity on the platform — nothing staged.
“Built to connect the diaspora with safe, peer-to-peer delivery they can trust.”

How it works
Built for trust, end to end.
Four steps that turn a stranger's trip into a verified delivery you can track — each one leaves a record.
Post your trip or parcel
Travelers list an upcoming route and free capacity. Senders post what they need carried and where.
Verified profilesGet matched fast
Our scoring engine ranks travelers by route fit, rating, and verification — the strongest matches first.
Ranked by trustCustody documented
Handoff photos are logged in-app at each transition, with physical intake inspection in the Addis pilot.
Photo-logged handoffsDelivered with a code
The recipient confirms with a one-time delivery code. Custody — and your payout — close out end to end.
One-time codeLaunch · Coming soon

Estimate before you sign up
What will this cost?
A live estimate based on route, weight, contents and how soon you need it. Final price is set when you match with a traveler.
Estimates in USD. Travelers may counter-offer. Sender pays the delivery offer plus 3.5% compliance at checkout. Traveler commission (25% start, earned down to 15%) is deducted from payout. Escrow holds payment until delivery is confirmed.
Two sides of the marketplace
Senders and travelers, both verified.
Same trust on every side of the handoff — government-ID checks, photo logs, and a one-time code, whichever way you join.
For senders
Send a package
Post what you need carried and pay into escrow. Your money only releases when the recipient confirms delivery.
- Pay into secure escrow — released on delivery
- Track every handoff with logged photos
- Confirm receipt with a one-time code
For travelers
Travel & earn
List a trip you're already taking and earn on spare luggage capacity. You choose exactly what you carry.
- Earn on routes you already fly
- Get ID-verified once, match faster
- Accept only the parcels you approve
Both sides complete the same government-ID verification before their first match.
Founder · the core insight
Why this founder, why this problem.
Waylo Go is built by an Ethiopian who has lived the problem firsthand — as a sender, as a recipient, and as someone who has carried items for family and friends.
The platform is not a theoretical solution to an abstract market gap. It's infrastructure built by someone who understands the community, the culture, and the trust dynamics that make this behavior work — and what it takes to formalize it safely.
