Porta – a new delivery platform that makes moving items simple, up to 60% cheaper and with 80% fewer emissions – today announces the national rollout of its Cash on Collection feature; a first-of-its-kind service enabling secure, end-to-end delivery for the cash purchases still fuelling demand on digital peer-to-peer marketplaces.
Launching nationwide following a highly successful pilot programme of 100 trips, the new feature makes it possible for buyers and sellers on digital marketplaces to complete cash transactions up to £500 without meeting in person.
Buyers simply tick the ‘Cash on Collection’ option when setting up their Porta delivery. The assigned driver then collects the item from the seller and pays them on the buyer’s behalf – ensuring a smooth, verified handover and direct reimbursement through Porta’s secure system.
For drivers, Cash on Collection also adds a valuable new revenue stream, with a 15% handling payment in addition to regular delivery fees.
Rethinking the conventional courier model of delivery services with dedicated trips, Porta connects customers to vetted, professional couriers already travelling on prescribed routes and with spare load space.
Combined with Porta’s end-to-end management, users benefit from the low prices typical of the digital marketplace, with the dependability of a traditional logistics operator.
Like popular ride-hailing services, Porta customers can see the cost of their delivery in 30 seconds, choose from flexible options that fit their schedule, and see a built-in ratings and review system that ensures accountability and peace of mind.
With the feature now live nationwide, Porta continues to expand its role as the platform of choice for users who want deliveries that are simple, flexible, affordable and fair for drivers.
