@ldesserrey Thanks for the comment. The main idea of branding and design in general was to make it as simple as possible. Even minimalistic. Why? Because we realize how sometimes apps, services or websites are difficult to use due to excessive details and features.
@avinashdsouza@ldesserrey Agreed - Besides stock art and the cartoon, which a lot of startups use, I don't see the issue. They even use HTTPS off the bat.
@thejournalizer@ldesserrey I also agree. However most users I know have deep reservations about online peer-to-peer transactions, especially after the Venmo Slate story. Everyone's scared of getting scammed online, regardless of the actual risk or potential damange. More upfront social proof and guarantees about security on the homepage could be a quick fix to blunt this.
Ok, this is the most brilliant idea and a moment when I ask myself "why I did not think of it?" Been using my cousin to forward me packages but there is only so much favours he can do :D
I really love it. Brazil is a really hard country to get products. But people here don't trust other people sending products like that. How do you avoid the man in the middle from stealing it?
@aleattorium Jean, thank you. Yes, shipping limitations were the reason behind the idea. We believe that people all over the world should enjoy special offers and deals from the stores. And thank you for your question, because that was a real challenge for us to make parcl secure. First of all, we ask all our community members to upload scans of their ID (any ID is ok). The ID is kept private, no one except our moderators see it, this tells us that the person has nothing to hide and is open for communication. Second, if there is a dispute our moderators look into it, investigate the details of delivery, and decide whether the refund is needed. And if someone behaves dishonestly, their account will be blocked. Of course, we are constantly working on improving security and usability of our service.
