Example:(continued)

• Simon spent a few hours shopping around for the best delivery price:

UPS $257

FedEx $450

DHL $389

• Simon even considered sending the box via USPS…

Example:(continued)

Luckily, Simon saw an ad for casualcourier.com

Simon said, “Now I can send my package at the speed of overnight, for the cost of post, and with the reliability of hand-delivery!”

So, Simon registered the box on TCC’s website and found a casual courier traveling to Paris.

Simon purchasedthe courier’s contact information and arranged delivery.

TARGET MARKET:

• TCC attracts economy-class airline passengers with an existing itinerary.

o COURIERS use TCC to:o Reduce travel expenseso Add utility to otherwise uneventful trip

o SENDERS use TCC to:o Drastically reduce the cost of deliveryo Send fragile or sensitive items

CONCERNS:

• TCC has a created policies to ensure a safe user experience:

CONCERN: SOLUTION:

“Is it illegal to carry a package for someone else on a commercial airplane?”

TSA and commercial airlines permit passengers to carry packages for others on flights, so long as the packages do not contain a forbidden item.

“How can I be sure that the package I am carrying does not contain an illegal/dangerous item?”

TCC suggests that “casual couriers” thoroughly examine the package before accepting it from the sender.

“What do I say to a security officer if asked whether I am carrying anything for someone else?”

TCC encourages full disclosure to airline personnel and suggests completing the “Courier Service Agreement” to clarify package ownership.

“How do I know that the person from whom I am accepting a package from is legitimate?”

TCC suggests reviewing the user’s online rating scores and exchanging a photocopy of a picture ID before accepting a package from the sender.
