Lagos ⇄ London ⇄ Toronto ⇄ New York

Your trip. Their package. Your payout.

Kanim connects people with travelers already flying between Lagos and London, Toronto, and New York — both directions, with more cities on the way — so sending something home costs less and arrives faster than any courier.

The problem

Sending something home shouldn't cost more than the thing itself

Every day, flights between Nigeria and the West take off with suitcases half full — while families and small businesses pay steep, slow courier fees to move the same distance.

1–2
weeks is common for a courier shipment from Lagos to Houston, London, or Toronto — Kanim moves at the speed of the next available flight.
23kg
is the checked-bag allowance most travelers never fill — that unused space is what Kanim puts to work.
3
people verify every handoff: the sender, the traveler, and Kanim — before a payout is ever released.

Pricing

One simple rate, by weight

No bidding, no negotiating. The sender always knows the cost upfront, and the traveler always knows their payout before accepting.

Up to 1 kg
Sender pays $15  ·  Traveler earns $10.50
1–3 kg
Sender pays $20  ·  Traveler earns $14.00
3–5 kg
Sender pays $40  ·  Traveler earns $28.00
5–10 kg
Sender pays $75  ·  Traveler earns $52.50

Example pricing shown in USD — some routes price in local currency. Typically 25–50% less than DHL or FedEx for the same weight, and Kanim's fee funds identity verification, payment protection, and support, held securely until delivery is confirmed.

Trust & safety

Nothing travels that a traveler hasn't seen

Every account is verified, every handoff is photographed, and every payment is held until the job is actually done.

ID verification for everyone

Senders and travelers confirm their identity before they can post or carry anything.

Photographed at handoff

No sealed boxes. Travelers see and photograph exactly what they're carrying.

Payment held in escrow

Kanim holds the sender's payment and releases it only once delivery is confirmed.

A clear list of what can travel

Every item is checked against Kanim's prohibited items list before it's matched.
