[edit] The TCC process
Although anyone who accepts a package from another person for delivery during an upcoming trip is considered a casual courier, TCC developed an online forum www.casualcourier.com where people with packages to send can more efficiently meet casual couriers who are awaiting packages to deliver.
To deliver a package, users must logon to TCC's website and register their existing travel itinerary. Then, senders may invite the casual courier to deliver their packages.
To send a package, users must logon to TCC's website and register a description of their package. Then, they may invite matching casual couriers to deliver their package for a self-determined fee.
