How many times have we ever go out and felt we had forgotten something? How many of these times didn’t turn out to be an impression? Until today the only solution would have been to go back or ask someone particularly unselfish to bring us the forgotten object; but now there is Take My Things.
An app that allows you to always have someone ready to go to recover what we have forgotten, something we would like to be delivered from another city, something we should deliver in a short time. This app turns out to be even more useful during the holiday season: since the beginning of December the “gift rush” begins, the cities are always crowded, the weekends are dedicated to shopping for gifts and the days of the week are busy at the office. This is where Take My Things comes in: just a few clicks to get, sometimes in less than a minute, the match with who can transport your object. The price you decide when you enter the request and you’re done. As a little Santa Claus helper, the person with whom you connected through the app will deliver the gift or will go to take it for you, perhaps in the agency of contact details for an item that you bought on-line but not you can receive at home because they are always absent, or a particular object that you saw in Milan, but you live outside the city and you would like someone to bring it: Take My Things will find those who live in Milan and is willing to come to deliver ‘object.
The perfect solution that with a few euros more will save you a lot of time, stress, fuel and travel. But the convenience is not just for those who need to receive the object: the service is obviously paid, any person can become a “express courier” simply by earning a trip already scheduled or going to the courier office near home. A quick and easy way to earn more money, as you know, at Christmas time never hurts.
Take My Things is a start up, conceived first and then realized by two friends, Guido Balbis and Francesco Demichelis, after Francesco had forgotten the keys to the sea at Saluzzo and, not finding a solution, he had returned 150 km to get them back! It was born in February 2015 and was officially launched in January 2016; in just a few months he has already traveled over 1,000 packages. It was born in Saluzzo and the first tests took place in the Cuneo area. The real departure in Turin and Milan and today, every day, the platform grows to double figures, because in Italy, every day, new users are registered.
