Stuff2Send.com Provides Valuable Service of Courier

Remember back when eBay first hit it big, and now there are a plethora of Internet auction sites? This next website, Stuff2Send.com, could be the next big thing on the Internet when it comes to shipping goods.
Stuff2Send is a simple concept to help a user find a courier. So if you are in need of someone to deliver some goods (perhaps stuff that someone brought from you on eBay), go ahead and post your need on the site. With any luck, someone who lives in your neighborhood will be going to where you need your goods delivered.
It also might be a good way to get some extra money if you want to be a courier. Let’s say you work downtown, and if you plan it right, you can deliver someone’s goods during your lunch hour and make some extra money.
Of course, there is a matter of how can someone trust the courier, but there is apparently some sort of safeguard procedure so this doesn’t take place. Things like feedback ratings and criminal record checks, for example.
Unfortunately, this service is currently available only in England. However, I think this is a service whose success will be seen by its number of imitators, and it will be available worldwide. The signup isn’t free, as it costs about £5-£15 a year.
Stumble It!

How does Imoveit work ?
Imoveit has been created to allow all road user’s the opportunity of earning money through their normal, everyday travel. By registering with imoveit, you are able to search local pick up’s / drop off’s that fall in line with your travel path and vehicle size. In order to find pick up’s, go to search pick up’s in the top drop down. You will see a green panel in the top right of the screen, I am looking for.
In this panel you must enter your location / destination along with the size of pick up’s you are looking for. Imoveit will search it’s database for postal items that that will fit the criteria you have entered. Possible pick up’s will appear, to view an advert click on it, opening adverts will access details of exactly where the item is to be picked up from and delivered to, along with convenient times for pick up and phone number’s for both the person where the item is located and the person where delivery is to be made. If you are able to carry out the delivery you must contact the subscriber, which can be done by email, phone or sms. Please make sure you have made firm arrangements before setting off. If you need directions, go to find directions, highlighted within the Advert. Printable google maps, including travel directions and journey time are all there if you don’t have access to sat nav.
By using Imoveit before setting off on journeys, you not only have the opportunity of earning money for a journey you have to make, you also help the environment by traveling smart and using your fuel efficiently. Over the past decade fuel prices have risen steadily, making the cost of travel more and more expensive. We are faced with a dilemma, use the car less due to expense or drive using a different approach. Imoveit has membership options that suit all road users, from motor bike drivers’ to heavy haulage drivers’, by using our website you will be able to remunerate fuel cost’s or make a little bit of money on top, depending on how flexible you are.
By becoming a Paypal verified member you will be asked to build a user profile within imoveit. This profile will include your location, usually your home, your destination, contact phone number’s and a description of your daily movements. If a member of imoveit is to search for couriers, and you match the criteria it is very important you are contactable at all times. Please include landline number, mobile number and email address, if you are off line at the time, members are able to send sms text messages to you, using your profile details. You can upload up to 5 pictures of your vehicle if you so wish. Please note, to become a Paypal verified courier you will need to make a payment through imoveit.co.uk. Paypal verification is extremely important, as verification will act as security to those using you as a courier.
Remember when you find courier work through imoveit, be sure you have spoken with, and arranged both convenient pick up and delivery instruction, be aware you might have to make a phone call during the journey so your phone should have credit on it and be fully charged.
Need a courier
If you have a postal item that needs moving, firstly you need to register for FREE. Once you have registered you can advertise your postal item. Go to Post item, you will be required to give a description of item, if it requires more than one person to move item, due to weight or shape, please include this in special instruction. Include convenient times for when the item can be picked up and dropped off. Your instruction should be clear, and easy to understand. You will include telephone numbers for all parties concerned (telephone for person where item is located and telephone for person taking delivery). You can upload up to 5 pictures of the postal item. Once the Advert has been made you will be asked where you want to place your advert. The size of your postal item will determine the size of vehicle required to move it. Please assign the correct vehicle size required, remember motor bike couriers can’t move televisions.
After you have described your postal item, added co-ordinates of pick up / delivery, contact information and / or any special instruction you will be asked to place a price on how much you are prepared to pay for the service you require. Imoveit focus more on heavier, bulkier post, so remember be fair with your pricing. A lot of members use Imoveit for moving pick up items / collection only items, won on ebay. If you have won similar lots in the past, you will realize collection only items won on ebay, tend to fetch less money, due to postage costs. Why spoil a bargain, when items like this can be listed on imoveit.

Hello again, Let me start by adding, imoveit.co.uk is a TOTALLY FREE website. The idea was born in June 2008, a tool i believe will help the everyday motorist, with the pound weakening against the dollar it looks like fuel prices are due to go back up.
If the government aren’t prepared to drop the fuel tax we are forced to look within, imoveit.co.uk will never charge the user, the 0.01p registration fee for both commercial and non commercial road users’ is purely there to implement your paypal verification (so you don’t just run off with the goods), our only plight is to make people more responsible when they go about their everyday travel, let your boot earn you loot is our policy, and we promise that is the way we will stay…………………
