Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Africa focused start-up, SkyCliQ, has launched its waitlist, intending to shake up the cross-border online shopping market with its community based shopping and delivery marketplace.<\/p>\n

The aim is to democratise the online shopping and delivery market.<\/p>\n

The start-up is disrupting the small parcel delivery segment of the market by enabling the community to participate in the playbook, making the platform yet another example of the coming together of tech and community to revolutionise the status quo.<\/p>\n

Sending and receiving parcels in Africa from the USA or Europe remains one of the most expensive routes in the world and this presents a clear opportunity for a cost effective alternative that also provides market access in today\u2019s global marketplace.<\/p>\n

The SkyCliQ marketplace will harness the power of the community in an \u201cuber-like\u201d fashion to fulfil the shopping and delivery needs of the rapidly growing markets of the initial destination cities of Accra, Kigali, and Lagos. As Amanda Evans, the officer responsible for Community Engagement puts it, \u201cit should not be frustrating if, as a parent, you need a book or an educational device for your child and it cannot be found locally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNor should it be prohibitively expensive to procure a specific health aid to improve your wellbeing. And if an accessory will make a difference to your wellbeing then you should be able to reach it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With SkyCliQ, delivery prices will be up to 70% cheaper than conventional courier prices, and users who order through the platform will only make payment when their orders are delivered to their destination cities.<\/p>\n

As a sharing economy model, SkyCliQ is not just about empowering people to unlock and recognize the value of their resources, but it\u2019s also about enabling people to contribute to the wellbeing of society, thereby positively impacting the lives of others.<\/p>\n

Amanda noted: \u201cThe joy and intense feelings of gratitude when, for example, a necessary health aid that couldn\u2019t be found locally to provide needed comfort is received, is priceless.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, receiving a small but needed part that will make a machine work reliably again for a community, creates immeasurable levels of satisfaction. Often, it is such small items in the small parcel segment that make a real difference to the lives of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Listing items on the platform is free of charge and you can reach into an ever growing list of shops and stores.<\/p>\n

Payments on the marketplace are powered by Stripe and SkyCliQ works with customs agents at each of its destination cities to ensure compliance and disclosure.<\/p>\n
