Turn routes you already run into extra delivery demand.
People come to Selfpost looking for someone travelling their way. When nobody suitable is, the shipment still needs to move. That is where a professional carrier fits: the same request, matched against the routes you already operate and the conditions you already set.
Already invited? Open your partner workspace
Applications are read by a person. Nothing is activated automatically, and applying does not put your company on the site.
What you keep control of
- Your routesYou tell us where you go and how often. You are not asked to serve a corridor you do not run.
- What you will not carryExcluded categories are part of your profile, so shipments you would refuse are not offered to you.
- Timing and capacitySpare capacity is yours to declare and to change. There is no minimum you have to take.
- Your commercial termsPricing and conditions are agreed with you during onboarding, not imposed by a public ranking.
How the model works
Professional carriers sit alongside individual travellers, not in place of them. A user creates one delivery request, and Selfpost can consider suitable options from both.
A user creates a delivery request
Route, dates, package type, size and weight. The same essential request is evaluated for every suitable delivery option.
Selfpost looks at both sides
Travellers already going that way, and carrier routes that match the shipment and the carrier's own restrictions.
You see only what fits
Opportunities reach you when they match your declared routes, categories, weights and timing. Nothing else does.
The delivery runs on Selfpost
Sender, payment and coordination stay in one place, and the delivery closes with a confirmation code.
Peer-to-peer delivery remains the first thing Selfpost tries. The professional option exists so that a sender with no suitable traveller has somewhere to go rather than nowhere.
Why partner with Selfpost
Demand on routes you already run
The shipment comes to the route, not the other way around. No new lane to open, no repositioning.
Capacity that would travel empty
Spare space on a vehicle already making the trip costs you almost nothing to fill.
You set the boundaries
Accepted categories, excluded categories, weights and service model are declared by you and respected.
Senders from outside your market
People send from where they are, not where you advertise. Selfpost brings the sender to you.
One transaction flow
Payment, confirmation and delivery closure are handled digitally through Selfpost rather than by email and invoice.
No public company listing
Selfpost does not publish a carrier directory. Your name is not shown in public delivery results.
Who the programme is for
Small and medium operators with regular movements and space to spare tend to fit best.
- Cross-border van operators
- Regional and international parcel carriers
- Relocation and transport companies with spare capacity
- Specialised carriers with particular handling capability
- Operators running corridors such as Bulgaria to the EU
- Operators running corridors such as Germany to the UK or Spain
Those corridors are examples of the kind of operator the programme suits. They are not a statement that Selfpost currently has volume on any particular route.
Anonymity works both ways
Selfpost listings are anonymised. A request does not carry the sender's identity, and an offer does not carry yours.
A professional offer is shown to a sender as a verified professional-delivery option with the service conditions that matter to their decision: timing, handling, what is and is not accepted.
Your legal company information is handled during partner verification. It is disclosed only where the transaction, the payment or the transport documentation requires it — not on the public site, and not in a directory, because Selfpost does not publish one.
Commercial model
Commercial conditions are agreed with each partner during onboarding rather than set by a public rate card.
They may include a commission on completed transactions. The rate is part of that conversation, and Selfpost does not publish a figure it has not agreed with you.
Nothing is charged for applying, and nothing is charged before a delivery completes.
How it works after you apply
Four steps stand between sending the form and the first payout reaching your account. None of them happens automatically, and none of them puts your company on the site.
A person reads your application
Every application is reviewed by hand against the routes and conditions you described. Approval is not automatic, and we write to the email address you gave either way.
Invitation and company verification
An approved company receives an invitation to accept the partner terms, then completes Stripe onboarding as a business. Each operator you add — up to three, with identical rights — passes identity verification personally, with an ID document checked by the verification provider.
Publish routes, then confirm each request
Once the company is verified and at least one operator is cleared, publish regular routes or service on request, with lead times, cargo limits and optional starting prices. Clients can ask about their parcel and preferred date. You confirm the price and delivery deadline in an offer; the sender sees a verified professional option and the service conditions, not your company name.
Payment is held, then paid out to the company
The sender pays through Selfpost after accepting an offer, and the money is held until the delivery closes with the confirmation code and the applicable reporting checks finish. The payout goes to the company account, whichever of your operators ran the job.
How long the middle two steps take depends mostly on how quickly verification is completed on your side. Nothing is charged for applying, and an application that is not approved goes no further than the review.
Apply to become a carrier partner
This tells us enough to judge whether your routes and Selfpost's demand overlap. It takes a few minutes, and a person reads every one.
Applying commits you to nothing. A company that is approved is asked to accept the terms of the partnership once, before onboarding begins. They are published in full, so you can read them before you apply: Carrier Partnership Terms .
