Buy in France, receive it in Algeria
Something you want is sold in France and you live in Algeria? Post it on YourPoste: a real traveler already making the trip offers to buy it and bring it to you. You pay in the app, and the money is held until you confirm delivery with your delivery code.
Post an item to buyBuy & bring France → Algeria, in short
Buy & bring is a request between two people, not an online shop. You describe the item you want, sold in France, with a link or a description, your maximum price and the reward you offer. A traveler going to Algeria who agrees to buy it sends you an offer.
The traveler pays the shop with their own money, carries the item in their own luggage and hands it to you in Algeria. YourPoste holds your payment in between and releases it once you give your delivery code.
On France → Algeria there are currently more requests than travelers, so an offer can take longer than on other corridors.
How it works, step by step
Post what you want
Add a link or a description, where the item is sold, where you want it delivered, your maximum price and the reward you offer. Posting is free.
A real traveler makes you an offer
Travelers going to Algeria see your request and send offers. Compare profiles, reviews and ID-verified badges, and chat in the app before you decide. If the shop price is different, the traveler updates it in the offer and you see the new total.
You pay, and the money is held
After accepting an offer you pay by card in the app: the item price (or the deposit set in the offer), the reward and the fees. The money is held, not sent to the traveler.
The traveler buys the item and brings it
Once the deal shows as paid, the traveler buys the item in France with their own money and brings it on their trip.
You confirm with your delivery code
Check the item at handover and give your delivery code. The traveler is then reimbursed and paid.
What people ask travelers to buy in France
Everyday items that fit in personal luggage, in normal personal quantities:
These are general examples, not a list of what is allowed. Each traveler decides what they accept.
Who pays what
You, the buyer, pay in the app, in one payment:
- The item price, as agreed in the traveler’s offer: in full, or a 30, 50 or 70% deposit with the rest in cash at handover.
- The reward you choose.
- A service fee: 10% of the reward plus 2.5% of the item amount paid in the app (the full price, or the deposit).
- A card processing fee of 4.5% of the subtotal + €0.30 (service and processing fees together are at least €1.50).
- Amounts are in euros. You see the exact total before you pay.
The traveler advances the item price. After the delivery code is entered they are reimbursed for the item (from the held payment, plus any cash remainder agreed in the offer) and receive the reward minus YourPoste’s 3% commission, sent to the payout method they set in the app.
Customs duties, if any, are not included: they depend on the country and the item. Agree on them with the traveler before you pay.
What the traveler decides
- Travelers choose what they accept. They see your description and photos before they make an offer, and they can refuse any request.
- The item travels in the traveler’s own luggage, so the traveler answers for it at the border. They must respect the customs rules and the law of both countries, and the rules of their airline or transport company.
- Ask only for things that are legal to buy, carry and bring into the destination country, and describe them honestly. When in doubt, check the official customs information of the destination country.
- You are responsible for what you ask for. Prohibited and restricted items are listed in the Terms.
Questions
Can a traveler buy anything I ask for in France?
No. Travelers choose what they accept, and the item must be legal to buy in France, to carry and to bring into the destination country. Prohibited and restricted items are listed in the Terms. When in doubt, check the official customs information of the destination country before you post.
Who pays the shop?
The traveler, with their own money. Your payment stays held in the app and reimburses them, with the reward, once you confirm delivery with your code (plus any cash remainder at handover if the offer used a deposit).
What if no traveler makes an offer?
An offer depends on a traveler going to Algeria who agrees to buy the item. Posting is free and nothing is charged until you accept an offer. A clear description, a link to the item and a realistic deadline help travelers decide.
Where do I receive the item in Algeria?
You and the traveler agree on the place and the day of the handover in the app chat. Phone numbers are shared only once the deal is paid.
What if the item is not the one I asked for?
Check it at handover, before you give your delivery code. If something is wrong, open a dispute in the app and the YourPoste team reviews it. Special cases, such as an order abandoned after the traveler bought the item, are covered in the Terms.
Does it work in the other direction too?
Yes. Buy & bring works in both directions: swap the origin and the destination in your request, and a traveler going the other way can make an offer.
