Community-Driven Local Delivery

City Pickups

Connecting neighbors for fast, affordable peer-to-peer deliveries

Concept Validation Phase

Community-First Delivery Revolution

City Pickups represents our vision for transforming local delivery through community-powered peer-to-peer networks. We're researching insurance requirements, safety protocols, and building community partnerships to create a more personal, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional delivery services.

The Local Delivery Crisis

Local delivery is slow, expensive, and impersonal. Traditional delivery services offer vague time windows, charge premium fees for urgent deliveries, and provide no community connection. Meanwhile, many people in cities have flexible schedules and could earn money doing local deliveries.
