Send a parcel from Taraz to Almaty

Taraz is one of the oldest cities in the country, the centre of Zhambyl Region between Almaty and Shymkent. Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. The cities are about 450 km apart as the crow flies: the trip overland takes many hours, so many people fly.

From Taraz people send documents, homemade treats, clothes and gifts for relatives and students. In Almaty parcels are awaited by students, specialists who moved to the big city for work, and relatives people visit for the holidays.

Start by searching the Taraz → Almaty route: listings show the trip date and the free weight. Tell the traveler what you need to send, how big the parcel is and where it is easy to pick up. A matching route is not yet consent; the traveler answers for themselves.

If there is no trip on the date you need, turn on “Notify me about a new flight”: JetJoin will tell you when a traveler from Taraz to Almaty appears.

It is a domestic flight, so there is no customs clearance, but aviation security rules apply in full. Power banks and spare batteries travel only in cabin baggage, liquids in cabin baggage are limited by volume, and weapons, flammable and hazardous substances are banned.

Describe the contents specifically: not “a gift” but “a wool sweater and two books”. Photograph the items before packing and upload the photos and videos to JetJoin. Wrap fragile things in several layers and state the weight honestly.

Choose the handover spot on the traveler’s way rather than for your own convenience; that way there is less risk of being late. In Taraz the handover is easy at the station, the airport or in the centre; pick a spot on the traveler’s route.

Almaty is big and a cross-town trip at rush hour can take over an hour, so arrange to meet near the airport or a metro station on the traveler’s way. Delivery is confirmed with a code: the recipient gives it to the traveler at the meetup, and only then is the sender’s card charged.

There is no fixed rate: the sender proposes a reward, and the traveler accepts it or suggests another amount. The price depends on weight, size, fragility and how easy it is to meet. JetJoin adds a 15% sender fee.

Safety rests on three things: an identity check for every user, reviews after deliveries, and payment charged only after the confirmation code is entered.
