How does GP Donkoun work?
GP Donkoun connects two kinds of people: those travelling between Africa and Europe, the United States or Canada, and those who have a parcel to send on the same route. The idea is simple: travellers often have spare room in their luggage, and senders need to send a parcel quickly and cheaply. GP Donkoun brings them together, safely.
You have a parcel to send
- Search for a trip. Enter the departure city, the arrival city and, if you have one, an approximate date.
- Compare listings. For each traveller, you can see their departure date, available weight, price per kilo and trip description.
- Unlock the contact. Pay a €5 fee to get the chosen traveller’s contact details. You only pay once per traveller you contact.
- Arrange the delivery with the traveller. Agree together on where and when to hand over the parcel, and pay them directly the delivery price shown in their listing (between €10 and €15 per kilo).
You’re travelling soon
- Post your trip. Enter your departure city, arrival city, departure date, available weight (maximum 5 kg per parcel) and your price, between €10 and €15 per kilo. Posting costs €10.
- Introduce yourself in a few sentences. How often you travel, how flexible you are, what kinds of parcels you accept: a clear description reassures senders.
- Receive contacts. Each interested sender pays €5 to get your contact details, and you receive theirs.
- Arrange the handover with each sender. Check the contents of the parcel before accepting it: you are always free to refuse a parcel. The sender pays you the delivery price directly.
A real-life example
Amadou is flying from Paris to Conakry on 15 November, with 4 kg of spare room in his suitcase. He posts his trip on GP Donkoun at €15 per kilo (€10 listing fee).
Fatoumata, in Paris, wants to send a 3 kg parcel to her family in Conakry. She finds Amadou’s listing and pays €5 to get his contact details. She calls him to agree on where to meet, then pays him €45 for the delivery (3 kg × €15). The parcel leaves with Amadou on the day of his flight.
Why use GP Donkoun?
Sending a parcel to Africa with a traditional carrier is often expensive and can take several weeks. With a traveller who is already making the trip, your parcel arrives in a few days, for a much lower price.
GP Donkoun only handles the connection: the website never carries parcels and never collects the delivery price, which is always paid directly between the traveller and the sender.
Safe exchanges
- Your contact details (phone, email) are never shown publicly. They are only shared after the €5 fee is paid.
- Dangerous, illegal or airline-prohibited items are not accepted. See the full list in our Terms.
