Everyday-care and pharmacy-counter products from abroad, brought by a traveler
Creams, baby products, hygiene items and similar everyday products sold at a pharmacy: post what you want on YourPoste and a real traveler already making the trip can offer to buy it and bring it. For a medicine that needs a prescription, you must provide a valid prescription, and the traveler is free to accept or refuse. You pay in the app, and the money is held until you confirm delivery with your delivery code.

Covered
Covered- Everyday-care and pharmacy-counter products sold freely, without a prescription: creams and skincare, baby products, hygiene items and similar everyday items.
- A medicine that needs a prescription, only when you provide a valid prescription and the traveler agrees to carry it: labelled, in its original packaging, with the prescription.
- In normal personal quantities, in the original packaging.
Not covered
Not covered- A medicine that needs a prescription, without a valid prescription.
- Controlled substances, and anything that is prohibited in the country of purchase or in the destination country, or restricted there without the documents its rules require. Illegal drugs and narcotics are absolutely prohibited.
- Commercial quantities, or products meant for resale.
The rules, plainly
- Products sold freely, without a prescription, can be requested. For a medicine that needs a prescription, you must provide a valid prescription, and the traveler is free to accept or refuse. No controlled substances, and nothing that is prohibited in either country.
- The traveler decides what they accept. They can refuse any request, and they can check the product and its packaging before they carry it.
- The traveler carries the product in their own luggage. You and the traveler must both follow the customs rules and the law of both countries.
- You, the buyer, are responsible for what you ask for. Name the exact product, with a link or a photo of the packaging.
- Before you post, check the official customs information of the destination country. YourPoste does not say what customs allow.
- YourPoste is a marketplace between people, not a pharmacy. It does not sell, recommend or check products, and it gives no medical advice. For any health question, ask a doctor or a pharmacist.
How it works, step by step
Post the exact product
Give the product name and size, a link or a photo of the packaging, your maximum price and the reward you offer. If it is a medicine that needs a prescription, say so in your request and give your valid prescription to the traveler you choose. Posting is free.
A real traveler makes you an offer
Travelers on your route see the request and decide whether they accept it. Compare profiles and reviews, and chat in the app before you choose.
You pay, and the money is held
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 it and brings it
Once the deal shows as paid, the traveler buys the product with their own money, keeps it in its original packaging and brings it on their trip.
You confirm with your delivery code
Check the product and its packaging at handover and give your delivery code. The traveler is then reimbursed and paid.
What people ask for

These are examples of product types, not a list of what is allowed. Whether a product can be bought, carried and brought into the destination country depends on the rules of both countries; the traveler decides what they accept.
Questions
Can I ask for a medicine that needs a prescription?
Yes, but only with a valid prescription that you provide, and only if the traveler agrees: the traveler is free to refuse. You and the traveler must both follow the customs rules and the law of both countries, and no controlled substance, and nothing that is prohibited in either country, can be requested. YourPoste gives no advice on any medicine: ask a doctor or a pharmacist.
Can a traveler refuse my request?
Yes, always. The traveler decides what they accept, sees your description before making an offer and can check the product and its packaging before carrying it.
Who is responsible for what is carried?
You are responsible for what you ask for, and the traveler for what they carry in their own luggage. You must both follow the customs rules and the law of both countries. Check the official customs information of the destination country before you post.
Does YourPoste check or recommend products?
No. YourPoste is a marketplace between people, not a pharmacy. It does not sell, recommend or check products, and it gives no medical advice. For any health question, ask a doctor or a pharmacist.
Who pays the pharmacy or 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 the product is not the one I asked for?
Check the product and its packaging at handover, before you give your delivery code. If something is wrong, open a dispute in the app and the YourPoste team reviews it.
