Security is top priority
Security is a fundamental aspect to the business model, incorporating robust measures equal and greater than current Sharing Economy peers, including ID verification, social checks, live GPS tracking and runner security bonds. Attractive security bond and insurance mechanisms provide protection and peace of mind to the sender, as well as allowing runners who elect to increase their bond level to advance their profile status and rating. As with other Sharing models, runners understand a pristine profile standing is paramount for them winning jobs.

Pioneering companies AirBnB and Uber have demonstrated strong success via their lucrative and disruptive business models.
Airbnb, a point to point housing solutions, has received funding of circa US$1.5 billion in July 2015, with a current valuation of US$25 billion.[1]
Uber, a point to point taxi solution, has received funding of circa US$2.1 billion in December 2015, with a current valuation of US$62.5 billion.[2]
People Post, a point to point delivery solution, aims to disrupt the traditional courier service industry, which has been prohibited by industry rules, pricing and schedules. People Post utilises the idle delivery capacity of both businesses and individuals, providing increased service options and availability and market demand pricing.

“We are making courier services more available, affordable and reliable,” People Post co-Founder Wayne Wang stated. “People Post is also a much more user friendly and transparent experience than using a traditional courier or postal service.”
The rise of the sharing economy is rapidly changing the way we use traditional services, such as personal drivers and accommodation. People Post was born from a similar notion, utilising modern technology to provide a fast, reliable, value-for-money solution, eliminating frustrations commonly experienced when using traditional courier services,” he explained.
“We are very pleased with the rapid adoption of our services since launching, and with the overwhelming positive feedback from our senders and runners. We are excited about our next stage in growth and this transaction through Meteoric allows us to aggressively scale up our expansion plans in both Australia and Asia.”
