What people send from Austria
From Austria to Russia people send sweets — such as Mozartkugeln — coffee, gifts, books, documents and medicines for personal use. Russian speakers in Austria go home for holidays — JetJoin helps you find a traveler.
The platform connects the sender with a traveler and protects the payment, while the traveler carries the parcel in their own baggage.
EU sanctions on exports
The EU bans the export to Russia of luxury goods above a set value threshold and many categories of equipment. Expensive watches, jewellery, premium-brand crystal and new electronics may be held when leaving the EU.
It is safe to send sweets, personal items, documents and inexpensive gifts.
Route and meeting
Travelers go from Austria to Russia with transfers. It is convenient to hand over in Vienna — in the centre or at a station on the way to the airport.
In Russia, the recipient meets the traveler in the arrival city.
Preparing the parcel
Upload photos and videos of the contents and packaging to JetJoin and list the items. Pack fragile gifts with protection and tell the traveler.
Don’t hand over items the traveler doesn’t know about.
Price and payment
You propose the reward, and the traveler agrees or names their own amount. JetJoin’s sender fee is 15%.
The traveler photographs the parcel when taking it and enters the confirmation code when handing it to the recipient in Russia — only then is the payment charged.
