Company Summary

By asking private instead of commercial sellers, BoxInTheBag helps buying desired items regardless if they are from a store or online shop. The involved parties both benefit: buyers have the possibility to get their products exclusively, for less money and actually faster. The travelers and shippers earn money on the side (with bringing or sending the products) and offer their typical goods, souvenirs and products from stores nearby.
