A little care goes a long way.
How Communal works
- Post your item, pickup area, destination, and deadline.
- A person already making the journey offers to help.
- Choose your traveler and privately coordinate pickup.
- They bring the item. You confirm receipt and leave a review.
Make every handoff a good one
Be honest about your item, its weight, and your availability. Agree on the plan before meeting. Use public meeting places when practical, and don’t share sensitive information on the public board.
Keep it safe and legal
No weapons, dangerous goods, controlled substances, illegal items, cash transfers, or items requiring regulated handling. Travelers should inspect and agree to what they carry. Don’t carry sealed or suspicious items you cannot identify.
Be kind. Be reliable.
Communicate early if plans change. Never harass, pressure, or discriminate against another member. Use the report and block tools if something feels wrong. After pickup, report a delivery issue for moderator help rather than canceling.
Free during launch
All deliveries are free. Pricing previews are approximate future-price illustrations, not charges or promised earnings. There is no payment processing, insurance, identity verification, or live location tracking.
