Rayan Rahman, Iqbal Anwar, and Badrul Hassan are three Bangladeshi-American entrepreneurs determined to take the shipping industry to newer heights through their company Airposted. At present, the company has provided clients from across the world the most convenient and affordable shipping experiences.
Airposted is a logistics company that is making a significant mark in the industry. One of its best stories of service includes extending help to a mother from a tiny village in Nairobi who ordered powdered milk from Amazon to feed her child. She contacted the company to express her utmost gratitude when she received the product and referred to Airposted as a “life saver” for her child.
What made the terrific shipping experience for the Kenyan client possible was the unique peer to peer service that Airposted provides. Through this method, shoppers can order products from international websites and receive them through a traveler who is heading their way without the need to pay the cost and undergo the hassle of traditional international shipping.
Company founders Rayan Rahman and Iqbal Anwar take pride in the fact that Airposted is the first ‘true’ shipping and logistics platform utilizing the “peer to peer” method. Clients have to pay only percentage charges of the product price and a flat rate shipping for international parcels. The company provides fast, hassle-free, and secured shipping at the most affordable rates since the shipping cost is dramatically lesser than FedEx, DHL, and other shipping companies.
For travelers, Airposted also provides them an income opportunity by utilizing their unused luggage space to carry products for the shoppers or recipients.
Airposted only engages in shipping legal consumer products and requires travelers who serve as independent contractors to comply with local and international laws, customs, rules, and regulations. In the case of taxes, the company reimburses the travelers at the local Airposted office after showing the tax receipt.
Currently, Airposted is dominating the local Bangladeshi logistics market. The company team is working on adding more features in the platform such as the “international parcel” service, where users will be allowed to ship out gifts and documents from the US to Bangladesh, and the “gift” service where users from the US can send over gifts to their loved ones in Bangladesh.
Ultimately, the company’s mission is to provide affordable and reliable shipping services available to the masses. The founders of the company are working on expanding the coverage of Airposted. Once the peer to peer method is fully established, they hope to expand their services to Southeast Asian countries like Nepal and India.
By simplifying logistics and helping people connect, communicate, and share products and information, Airposted hopes to change the way parcels are shipped locally and internationally. It is the company’s vision to “change the way people shop, ship, and travel.”
In the end, Airposted strives to become a game changer and a leader in both the domestic and international shipping industries, “making the world smaller one delivery at a time.”
