Why send a parcel Turkestan — Astana with a traveler
Turkestan is the spiritual centre of the country, with the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the centre of Turkestan Region. Astana is the capital, home to ministries, government agencies and the headquarters of many companies. The cities are about 910 km apart as the crow flies: the trip overland takes many hours, so many people fly.
From Turkestan people send documents, souvenirs, homemade treats and things for relatives. In Astana parcels go to civil servants, head-office staff, students of the capital’s universities and families who have moved to the capital.
How to agree with a Turkestan — Astana traveler
It works simply: a traveler publishes a trip from Turkestan to Astana, you find it on JetJoin and offer to send a parcel for your own reward. All the details (what exactly, when and where) are agreed before the meetup.
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 Turkestan to Astana appears.
A domestic flight: which items you can send
Documents, clothes, books, gifts and small electronics are what people usually send within the country. Food is fine if it is well packed and won’t leak, but remember that liquids in cabin baggage are limited and perishables may not last until the recipient gets them.
Before the meetup, show the traveler the contents and let them see it packed: they are responsible for what they take through screening. Photos and videos on JetJoin help avoid disputes, and sturdy but easy-to-open packaging saves time at the airport.
Meetup, handover and delivery confirmation
Swap contacts and agree on what to do if the flight is rescheduled. Visitors to Turkestan find their way by the historic centre around the mausoleum, so its surroundings make a clear meeting point.
Astana winters bring hard frost and wind, so agree to meet indoors: at the airport, the station or a shopping centre. At the meetup the recipient gives the confirmation code from JetJoin; the traveler enters it, and only then is the deal closed.
Cost and safety of a Turkestan — Astana handover
JetJoin has no per-kilometre price list; the sender proposes the price for Turkestan — Astana. Consider the size of the parcel, the urgency and whether the traveler will have to go into town. On top comes 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.
