★★★★★

"I work from home in Hackney and I'm already at my door constantly. The idea that I could earn something just by receiving a parcel for my neighbour is a no-brainer. Signed up immediately."

★★★★★

"I'm retired and home most days anyway. My neighbour's parcels are always left on the step getting nicked. This solves that and pays me for it — what's not to like?"

// Environmental Impact

The greenest
logistics play in the UK.

Every Neary relay removes 2–3 van journeys from London's roads. We're not just solving logistics — we're cleaning up the last mile.

🌿

Zero hardware carbon footprint

We don't manufacture or install lockers. The neighbour's home is the infrastructure.

🚌

−35% CO₂ per parcel vs standard redelivery

Eliminating the redelivery van journey reduces emissions by up to 35% per order — validated against ADEME data from Pickme France.

🏙️

Fewer vans on London streets

Every 100 Neary deliveries removes an estimated 40 additional van journeys from congested London postcodes.

// Security & Trust

A network built on
verified trust.

Every Keeper is verified. Every parcel is insured. Every transaction is auditable. Neary doesn't rely on goodwill — it engineers it.

🪪

Tiered ID Verification

Level 1: Photo ID + proof of address for standard parcels (<£50). Level 2: Basic DBS check for Gold Keepers accepting high-value items.

🛡️

Automatic Insurance — Up to £200

Every parcel held by a Keeper is insured from the moment it's scanned in — at zero cost to the shopper or Keeper.

📷

AI Condition Check-In

Computer Vision scans photos of arriving parcels for damage or tampering. Instant courier alert before the driver even leaves.

🔐

One-Time QR Handover

Parcels are only released when the Keeper scans the shopper's unique collection QR code. No QR = no handover. No exceptions.

⭐

Live Rating System

Keepers must maintain a 4.5+ star rating to stay active. Top performers earn the Gold Keeper badge and higher earnings.

🤖

AI Fraud Detection

Anomaly detection monitors Keeper behaviour in real time. Unusual patterns trigger instant identity re-verification before any handover.
