As far as shipping services go, this one certainly has customer convenience in mind. Shyp claims it is the easiest way to send anything as it doesn't require the sender to leave the house. Users can simply take a picture of their package and someone will come pick it up and deliver it for you.
Rather than having to worry about finding the right packaging for your parcel, taking it to the post office and suffering excruciatingly long lines, Shyp lets you send something in only two steps. Unlike other shipping services, this starts with taking a simple snapshot and uploading it using the Shyp app along with the desired destination. A trained team member will quickly arrive to pick it up and take care of the weighing, stamping and similar tasks. Using the app you can track your parcel and make payments.
