    You think the average person has the infrastructure and the relationship with customs and the DEA that FedEx and ups do?
  • raw_anon_1111 5mo ago
    Yes because if someone gets stopped carrying contraband who works for FedEx, delivering in a FedEx truck, wearing a FedEx uniform is going to be treated the same as Bob in his Honda Civic who said he picked up a package from a known trap house and had no idea what was in it.

      Doesn't Uber have a courier service too?

        You would be equally as dumb to do that unless you are delivering from a commercial establishment. https://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/unfortunately-i-was-the-drug-mule-in-that-situation-drugs-transported-via-ride-share/3550184/ https://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/unfortunately-i... https://www.freedommag.org/news/uber-drivers-used-as-unwitting-drug-mules-across-the-us-922132 https://www.freedommag.org/news/uber-drivers-used-as-unwitti... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13107193/Uber-driver-drug-package-restricted-account.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13107193/Uber-drive...

    All humor and pithy quips aside. The assumed liability is very different. A driver of a commercial courier accidentally transporting an illegal substance is at much less personal risk than an average citizen or small business. I think this match-maker platform should be willing to shoulder more that liability. KYC but for bill of lading as well? While not 1-1 or perfect, AirBnb and TaskRabbit platforms include insurance and other risk mitigations for both sides of p2p relationship.

      A company can’t shoulder liability for a cop pulling them over and arresting them on criminal charges.
