What people send from the USA
From the USA to Russia people send gifts, children’s clothes, books, vitamins and medicines for personal use, and documents. Russian speakers in America go home for holidays — JetJoin helps you find a traveler.
The platform connects the sender with a traveler and protects the payment rather than carrying parcels itself.
US export controls
The US bans the export to Russia of luxury goods and many categories of equipment and electronics. New laptops, phones, expensive watches and jewellery can become a problem for the traveler.
It is safe to send clothes, vitamins, books, documents and inexpensive gifts.
Route and meeting
Travelers go from the US to Russia with transfers, and the journey takes about a day. Arrange the handover before the traveler leaves for the airport, with time to spare.
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. Vitamins should be in factory bottles and in personal-use quantities.
Don’t hand over items the traveler doesn’t know about.
Price and payment
You propose the reward, and the traveler agrees or names another 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.
