The Casual Courier

The Casual Courier, Inc. ("TCC") is a corporation that developed an online forum where people with packages to send can efficiently meet casual couriers who are awaiting packages to deliver. This innovation to the shipping industry has propelled TCC to the forefront of alternative package delivery.

The TCC process

Although anyone who accepts a package from another person for delivery during an upcoming trip is considered a casual courier, TCC developed an online forum [http://www.casualcourier.com www.casualcourier.com] where people with packages to send can more efficiently meet casual couriers who are awaiting packages to deliver.

To deliver a package, users must logon to [http://www.casualcourier.com TCC's website] and register their existing travel itinerary. Then, senders may invite the casual courier to deliver their packages.

To send a package, users must logon to [http://www.casualcourier.com TCC's website] and register a description of their package. Then, they may invite matching casual couriers to deliver their package for a self-determined fee.
