A complete guide for travelers wanting to list kilo capacity on Yablink. Whether you've done this before or this is your first time, here's everything you need to know.
Listing your available kilo capacity on Yablink is fast. But before you post, get these basics clear.
Check your airline's baggage allowance for your specific ticket. Allowances vary — economy vs business, airline, and route all affect the number. Don't post capacity you're not sure you have. Overweight luggage fees can be significant.
Senders filter by both. The more specific you are, the better your matches. If you're flying Turkish Airlines on December 3rd from Istanbul, say exactly that.
Before someone messages you, you should have a rough answer to: what kinds of goods am I comfortable carrying? Food is common. Documents are easy. Electronics can complicate customs. Set your preferences in the listing so senders self-select.
Set a per-kilogram rate. Community norms on Turkey-based corridors put this at roughly 5–10 USD per kilogram, but you set your own price. You can also mark your listing as 'price negotiable' if you prefer to discuss per request.
Where can senders bring their packages to you? Your home, a meeting point, the airport? The earlier you agree on a handover location, the smoother everything goes. Think about this before you post.
Creating a listing takes under two minutes. Here's what you'll need to fill in:
| Field | What to enter | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Flying from | Your departure city in Turkey | Be specific — "Istanbul" not "Turkey" |
| Flying to | Your destination city | Include the country if the city name is common |
| Airline | Your carrier | Senders care about this — direct flights are preferred |
| Departure date | Exact date | This is the most-used filter — accuracy matters |
| Kg available | Your free kilograms | Be conservative; always have a small buffer |
| Price per kg | Your rate in TRY or USD | You can say "negotiable" but a starting number helps |
| Items you'll accept | Select from the list | Food, documents, clothing, etc. |
| Your note | Optional message | Describe your handover preferences, any restrictions |
Your listing goes live immediately. Senders searching your corridor will see it in the feed.
Not every message you receive will be the right fit — you have the right to accept or decline any sender with no explanation required, so here's what to look for.
A sender who knows exactly what they're sending (item type, weight, dimensions) is a sender who's prepared. Vague requests are a yellow flag.
Insist on a face-to-face handover or a traceable delivery via a trusted local cargo provider. If a sender changes plans unexpectedly, sends an unannounced third party, or uses an untrackable delivery method, proceed with caution.
If someone says they want to send 15 kg but your listing says you have 5 kg free, that's not a match. Be firm on your capacity limits — overpaying excess baggage fees at the airport is never worth it.
If your listing says you accept food and documents, don't feel obligated to accept electronics or items you're not comfortable with at customs. You are the one carrying the bag.
You are legally responsible for everything in your luggage. If you're uncomfortable, decline. No delivery fee is worth a customs violation.
Yablink does not provide customs advice and is not responsible for customs issues. The information below is general guidance only. Laws change, and enforcement varies by country, airport, and officer. Always verify the rules for your specific route.
Most countries require you to declare items you're carrying on behalf of others, especially above certain value thresholds. 'Ignorance' is not a legal defense at customs.
Most countries have duty-free limits for personal imports. Goods carried informally are subject to the same limits as any other personal baggage. If goods exceed duty-free thresholds, customs duties apply.
Many countries restrict or prohibit importing certain food items, especially fresh produce, meat, or items with soil contact. Check the destination country's food import regulations.
Laptops, phones, and high-value electronics often require declaration above certain values. The traveler — not the sender — is responsible for this declaration.
Before you travel, have the sender give you a written description of the contents. If questioned at customs, this helps establish what the goods are and their approximate value.
Before you depart, send a message to the sender in your Yablink conversation confirming what you're carrying, its weight, and its declared value. This creates a record that protects both of you.
You've landed. The goods made it. Here's the last mile.
You should have the recipient's name and phone number from the sender. Contact them as soon as you've cleared customs to arrange delivery.
Confirm the recipient's identity before handing over the package. A quick call on speakerphone to the sender while with the recipient is a simple and effective way to confirm.
As soon as the recipient has the package, open the conversation in Yablink and mark the delivery as complete. This updates both the sender and builds your delivery track record on the platform.
Ask the recipient to confirm to the sender directly (via phone) that the package arrived in good condition. This closes the loop and protects you if a dispute arises later.
That's it. The sender sees the completion, your profile records another successful delivery, and both sides of the next transaction trust you a little more.
